Today I shall share my guide one making one of the easiest homemade foot soak using a simple recipe that only uses 3 ingredients. These ingredients can be found even at home, your kitchen or garden. Now who don't like lemongrass? From the moment you step into a spa the scent of lemongrass welcomes you to an oasis of relaxation. Lemongrass is also my favorite aromatherapy scent and ingredient in cooking Thai food. For my DIY homemade beauty tip today, I will be showing you how to make the Lemongrass Foot Soak so you can soothe your aching feet at home.
Now the question is what kind of salt should I use? Well it's basically up to your preference. Should you only have salt at home, you can still use it. However it is recommended to use Epsom Salt or sea salt. These salts are rich in minerals and it makes absorption quickly too. If you are using normal salt, considering adding a teaspoon of baking soda which helps to remove odors, dead skins and soften your skin.
