Ingredients Needed

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

• Cornstarch
• Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
• Sea salt
• Powdered milk
• Shredded soap
• 3 mica color powders: Choose red, yellow, and purple.

Tools Needed

• Large bowl
• Three medium-sized bowls
• Silicone spatula
• Three wooden popsicle sticks
• Small glass bottles to store your Homemade Foot Soak for Dry Feet

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Steps: Homemade Foot Soak for Dry Feet

1- Begin by placing 1 cup of sodium bicarbonate (approx. 230 grams or 8.1 oz) in a large bowl.

2- Add 1/2 cup of cornstarch (approx. 65 grams or 2.3 oz) – This silky ingredient will lend a smooth, refined texture to your blend, ensuring everything mixes seamlessly.

3- Add 1/2 cup of powdered milk (approx. 60 grams or 2.1 oz).

4- Add 1/2 cup of sea salt (approx. 90 grams or 3.2 oz) – Bring a natural, invigorating texture to your recipe, adding a refreshing oceanic note.

5- Add 1 tablespoon of shredded soap (approx. 10 grams or 0.35 oz) – This final touch introduces a hint of cleansing lather.

6- Blend the ingredients thoroughly using a spatula. Ensure that everything is evenly mixed and break up any lumps to achieve a smooth, consistent texture.

7- Divide the mixture into three equal parts, placing each portion into its own bowl. We’ll be making three distinct salts, each with its own color and fragrance, which will be layered with dried flowers in glass bottles for a stunning effect.

8- Add some mica color powder to each portion, using a different color for each. Here, I use red, yellow, and purple. Mix each color thoroughly and assess if it’s vibrant enough. If desired, add more color to achieve the intensity you prefer.

9- Add 5-6 drops of fragrance oil to each bowl, using a different scent for each. For example, jasmine for the yellow portion, tea rose for the red bowl, and lavender for the purple. Use a different popsicle stick for each bowl. Blend the mixtures thoroughly.

Note: Adjust the color and scent intensity to your preference.

10- Add dried flowers to each bowl, matching the color of the flowers to the color of the salts. Blend them with popsicle sticks.

11- Now, let’s transfer the salts into small glass bottles for storage. You can use your creative flair to design each bottle:

• Assign one color to a bottle, placing the salts in layers interspersed with layers of matching dried flowers. Finish with a top layer of dried flowers. Seal the bottle with a cork cap.
• Alternatively, you can put salts of two or even three colors in a single bottle for a unique effect: Begin with a layer of one color, followed by a layer of flowers, then add a layer of a different color salt, and continue as desired. The following images will provide inspiration.

12- The salts for your Homemade Foot Soak for Dry Feet are now ready to use.
