How To Make Chamomile Foot Soak DIY
Dry, tired feet are no fun. Not to mention not very pretty!
One thing that perks them up is relaxing in a basin of Chamomile Foot Soak. After months of flip flops or the dry winter months, feet can get dry and cracked. The combination of chamomile, milk, and Epsom salt takes all that away in no time at all.
The chamomile helps to relieve puffiness and just the scent of it makes you relax.
If you want to feel rejuvenated, use Peppermint Foot Soak. It's quite a treat!

I’m wondering, if someone has a milk allergy is there anything powdered milk can be substituted with? Thank you.
Erin says
Hummm, I have never tried it, but what about baking soda? It has softening properties so could work.
AC says
Thank you so much for the suggestion
Tamie Wyllie says
Because of the powdered milk, does this have to be refrigerated?
Is a lesser amount for each use just as effective? Say maybe 2 -4 tablespoons?
Erin says
Good questions, Tamie. Since it's dry milk, it does not need to be refrigerated. I think a lesser amount would be fine. Maybe not quite as effective, but definitely doable. 🙂
