There are more than 20 muscles in the feet, and the average person walks around 1.5 to 2 miles per day. A good detox foot soak is a self-love ritual that gives back to a part of the body that physically carries us throughout our day.
Benefits Of An Epsom Salt Foot Soak
An epsom salt foot soak for feet has several benefits. Some of these include:
Helps You Feel Relaxed
When stress starts creeping in, it tends to make its presence known everywhere. Take a moment to treat yourself by giving your feet a well-deserved break in an epsom salt soak. The warm water and epsom salt join forces to tackle those stressors, easing away the tension and helping you find your way back to a calm, cozy, and relaxed state.

Allows You To Take Some “Me Time”
Finding time for ourselves can be a real challenge. It often feels like we're constantly being pulled in different directions, and the guilt can creep in when we catch ourselves just sitting and doing nothing.
But it's crucial to carve out that time for ourselves, and that's where an epsom salt foot soak comes in. Scheduling a foot soak is like scheduling a date with yourself, a little "me time” that also feels productive because you're indulging in a well-deserved pampering session.
As you soak your feet, feel free to play your favorite mobile game, get lost in a good book, tackle a puzzle, or simply enjoy some music—whatever helps soothe your mind while giving your feet some love.
Refreshes Your Feet
Particularly when it’s hot outside, it can feel like your feet are working overtime. A foot soak at the end of a long day isn’t just soothing and relaxing –– it’s refreshing as well. You can wash away all the work your feet have put in throughout the day, leaving you feeling clean and ready to go again.
A good epsom salt soak isn’t just for soaking. While you’re soaking your feet, you can take your epsom salt blend, place a pinch in your palm, and rub your feet with the coarse salt to remove any dead skin cells that might be leaving your feet feeling less than fresh.
After rubbing for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, rinse away the salt and enjoy softer feet ready to absorb lotions or any other pampering products you may enjoy using.
Detox Foot Soak Hits All The Marks
Our Detox Foot Soak at Better Bath Better Body is a perfect starting point for those who are just trying a foot bath for the first time. It’s also a tried and true favorite of foot soak enthusiasts.
This soak is made of USP Grade epsom salt and a blend of all-natural essential oils to provide fragrance and aromatherapy to your soak.
The essential oils it is infused with are lemon, peppermint, frankincense, and lavender:
- Lemon – Lemon has a bright, tart, clean, and zingy aroma. In aromatherapy, it’s often used to add a touch of brightness and awaken the senses.
-
Peppermint – Peppermint is a cooling, soothing, and sweet aroma often added to blends intended to soothe. This cooling scent is refreshing and versatile.
-
Frankincense – Frankincense is a warmer and earthier aroma with distinct comforting notes. It helps to ground the other essential oils in the blend, so everything is held together nicely as one.
- Lavender – Herbaceous and fresh, lavender is a common essential oil for any relaxing aromatherapy blend. Alongside peppermint, lavender’s sweetness comes out a bit more, and with lemon in the mix, it helps to create the perfect spa-like atmosphere.
In addition to the high-quality epsom salt and pure essential oils, our Detox Foot Soak boasts the added touch of fractionated MCT coconut oil. This luxurious blend is carefully crafted not only to relax and pamper but also to rejuvenate your skin as you indulge in a soothing soak.
Enriched with the goodness of vitamin E oil for nourishment and vitamin C crystals to enhance the purification of the water surrounding your feet, our formula offers a holistic and revitalizing experience.
How To Take Your Ritual Soak: A Step-By-Step Guide
Indulging in your ritual soak is a blissfully uncomplicated experience. Its simplicity is key, ensuring that you attain the relaxation and soothing you crave. Let's walk through the steps to make this rejuvenating experience even more enjoyable.
Start by choosing your soaking spot. A standard bathtub works wonders, with the option of sitting on the ledge as the water envelops you.
Alternatively, invest in a portable soaking basin for on-the-go self-care. Picture this –– basking in the serenity of nature on a beautiful day while you immerse yourself, letting the stresses of life melt away.
Once you've settled on your bathtub or soaking basin, fill it with warm water covering your feet up to the ankles. Be mindful not to make it too hot; we're aiming for comfort, not discomfort. Achieving the perfect temperature is crucial for a truly soothing soak.
With your soaking vessel ready, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Detox Foot Soak for every gallon of water. If you're new to foot soaking, start on the conservative side and adjust to your liking. Gently agitate the water with your hand or foot to ensure the salts dissolve completely.
As you soak, let your mind unwind, savoring the delightful aromas wafting around you. Allow the invigorating scent of lemon, the refreshing touch of peppermint, the grounding essence of frankincense, and the relaxing scent of lavender to envelop you.
A well-deserved soaking session typically lasts around 20 minutes. When it's time to bid farewell to your sanctuary, exit the tub or basin slowly, and pat your feet dry with a soft, clean towel. Embrace the afterglow of tranquility as you carry the benefits of your self-love ritual into the rest of your day.
