• 2 cups Epsom Salt
• 2 cups Baking soda
• 1 tbsp. Lemon zest
• 1 tbsp. Lime zest
• 10 drops Essential oil. I prefer mint or Eucalyptus Oil.

Directions

• Add the Epsom salt and baking soda into the wide bowl.
• Then grate around the lemon and lime to get the zest.
• Next, add the essential oil you prefer.
• Then mix it up with your hands.

Grate your lemon and lime zest unto your Epsom salt and baking soda.

• When everything is well-combined, save your DIY citrus foot soak in an airtight container.
• This foot soak will stay fresh for weeks in the bathroom, or any cool dry place.

How to use the foot soakFor regular soaking and chilling around, follow the instructions below.

• Pour some warm- not hot – water into your foot bath or a wide bowl that your feet can fit in.
• Then add 1/4 cup of the Epsom salt foot soak, squeeze some lemon and lime juice into the water.
• Also, add the squeezed fruits to the water for the 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 worth your while.
• Plus, you’d enjoy a feet soak better when it is prolonged.
• When you are 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.
