Instructions:
1.Prepare the Foot Soak: Fill a basin with 2 cups of warm water and add 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide. Mix well to combine the solution.
2.Soak Your Feet: Immerse your feet in the solution for about 10 minutes. This soak helps to disinfect your feet, soften calluses, and combat foot odor. The hydrogen peroxide works by breaking down bacteria and fungi that can cause infections and unpleasant smells.
3.Scrub and Rinse: After soaking, use a pumice stone or foot scrub to gently exfoliate any rough or calloused areas. This will help remove dead skin cells and leave your feet feeling smooth. Rinse your feet with warm water afterward.
4.Dry and Moisturize: Thoroughly dry your feet with a clean towel, making sure to get between the toes. Follow up with a good moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and soft.
