Antiseptic mouthwash, which is normally used to help prevent cavities and gingivitis, has numerous active ingredients. When it comes to feet, this type of wash isn’t used to combat odor, but rather for the antifungal properties found in menthol and thymol.
Vinegar is a diluted form of acetic acid that is both versatile and harmless. It is used to cook and clean — and to treat our tired, aching, stinky feet. The antifungal activity of vinegar is more powerful than that of other food preservatives, all while being safe enough to eat. It’s this action that’s credited for some of its most notable benefits.
The mixture helps to soften all the dry skin on the soles of your feet and all that is left to do is use a sponge to softly scrub it off, leaving your feet fresh and soft. All you need is some kind of bowl or a bathtub and warm water. Here’s how to go about it;
Listerine-vinegar mix
Ingredients needed;
- 1 cup of any antiseptic mouthwash (ie Listerine)
- 1 cup vinegar (You could use apple cider vinegar or white)
- 2 cups warm water
Procedure;
- Soak feet for 10-15 minutes
- Use a foot file, pumice stone, or a sponge to help scrub off the softened dead skin.
- Rinse feet with warm water
And voila, soft fresh feet. If you are struggling with dry cracked feet, you should try this.
