Introduction
Foot care is essential, yet many of us neglect it until problems like dryness, cracking, odor, or rough skin appear. Surprisingly, a simple household ingredient—baking soda—can work wonders when incorporated into your foot care routine.
Why Baking Soda Works
Baking soda isn’t just for baking. Its unique properties make it an excellent foot care solution:
Exfoliates gently: Removes dead skin and calluses.
Neutralizes odor: Balances pH and fights bacteria that cause foot smell.
Softens skin: Soothes rough, hardened areas.
Relieves irritation: Calms itching or mild inflammation.
