I have partnered with Gold Toe to bring you this amazing DIY foot soak for dry cracked feet recipe that you can make with common household items!

DIY Skin Renewing Foot Soak using Listerine, vinegar and water! The dead skin practically falls off and leaves you with silky smooth feet!

Summer leaves feet cracked and dry. You can thank your sandal wearing habit for your less than desirable feet. It lends to dry, cracked heels and tough callouses on the bottom of your feet. You can undo the damage done with a simple at home DIY foot soak using common items found in your home! This DIY foot soak is amazing and leaves the dead skin practically falling off once you are done. You’re feet will be revitalized and left feeling silky soft.

DIY Skin Renewing Foot Soak using Listerine, vinegar and water! The dead skin practically falls off and leaves you with silky smooth feet!

First get a large bowl or basin to use for your foot soak. Next combine 3/4 cup Listerine mouthwash, 3/4 cup vinegar, 1 1/2 cups hot water and 3/4 cup epsom salt (optional) in your basin. Now relax and soak your feet for 30 minutes. Kick back, read a good book, enjoy a cup of coffee, whatever you do relax!

Once you are done you’ll find that the dead skin practically falls off!! Use a pumice stone to help slough off the dead skin all over the bottom of your feet.

Next use a thick cream based lotion and slather your feet in a thick layer. Pop on some socks and sleep for the night with them on. I use the Gold Toe Oh. So. Soft socks because they are amazing! They are so incredibly soft and luxurious feeling on your feet.

These socks are my little luxury that doesn’t break the bank. When I do this DIY foot soak I feel like I’ve visited a spa but my pocketbook thanks me for doing it at home! I always keep these socks close by, even in the Summer, because when the AC is on my feet get cold! Since these Gold Toe Oh. So. Soft. socks are cut low I can wear them with capris or shorts inside without looking ridiculous. My feet are always happy in these socks!

      I had so many prolems with my cracked heelf after my second boy! šŸ™ Literally nothing helped. Not even creams from the pharmacy. Then I found an absolutely incredible cream with ground all spice berry and it was like a miracle. Love it so much still keep using it! šŸ™‚

    I practically live in flip flops which are rough on my feet, so they could use a bit more TLC. A healing soak and some comfortable socks sound great!

    I’m dropping by from the Whimsy Wednesday link party. This is such a fabulous idea — and with Listerine no less! Makes me want to soak my feet RIGHT NOW!

    I have a link party that I am trying to grow. I invite you to share this — and a couple of other ideas — at my Grandma Ideas Sharing Time link party at http://grandmaideas.com. It runs Wednesday through Friday night at midnight (Mountain Daylight Time). I think my readers would enjoy this as much as I do! (We grandma’s tend to have dry, cracked feet…)

    Hope to see you there,
    Nina
