How to use the DIY lime lemon Epsom salt foot soak

For regular soaking and chilling around, follow the instructions below.

• Pour some warm- not hot – water into your foot bath or a wide bowl where your feet can fit.
• Then add 1/4 cup of the Epsom salt foot soak, and squeeze some lemon and lime juice into the water.
• Also, add the squeezed fruits to the water for a zesty scent.
• The water would turn kinda yellow.
• Next, test the temperature of the water before stepping into it.
• If it is fine, pick your favorite book or play a movie while soaking your feet because you’d be there for a while, so make it worthwhile.
• Plus, you’d enjoy a foot soak better when it is prolonged.
• When satisfied, buff your feet with a pumice stone.
• And rinse them with clean water.
• Then follow with some foot cream and maybe a pair of socks if the weather is cold.
• But if you plan to polish your nails, then skip the socks.

For a complete DIY pedicure

Follow the steps below to use this scrub as a part of your at-home pedicure routine.

• First, clean off your nail polish.
• Then put some body wash on your toes and soak your feet.
• After a few minutes, bring one foot out of the water, trim your cuticles, file, and buff your toenails.
• Repeat the same for the other feet, then soak.
• The next time you get your feet out of the water, buff your soles with a pumice stone, then follow with this DIY coconut lime foot scrub.
• Lastly, rinse your feet with clean, warm water.
• Then use a clean towel to pat dry them. Don’t rub.
• You can use some foot cream if you feel the need.
• But make sure to clean your toenails with a polish remover before applying fresh nail polish.
