How to Do a Pedicure at Home with Baking Soda

Step 1: Prepare a Soaking Bath
Fill a Basin with Warm Water:

Fill a basin or large bowl with warm water (enough to cover your feet comfortably).

Add Baking Soda:

Pour 1/4 cup of baking soda into the warm water and stir to dissolve it. The baking soda will help soften your feet and exfoliate dry, rough skin.

Soak Your Feet:

Submerge your feet in the warm water and soak for 10–15 minutes. Relax while the baking soda helps to soften calluses and dead skin.

Step 2: Exfoliate Your Feet
Use a Foot Scrub Brush or Pumice Stone:

After soaking, gently rub your feet with a foot scrub brush or pumice stone to remove dead skin, calluses, or rough patches. Focus on the heels and balls of your feet.

Massage:

If you prefer, you can mix a bit of olive oil and baking soda to create a scrub. Gently massage this mixture onto your feet in circular motions to exfoliate and moisturize at the same time.

Step 3: Trim and Shape Your Nails
Clip Your Toenails:

Use nail clippers to trim your toenails straight across to avoid ingrown nails. Don’t trim them too short.

File Your Toenails:

Smooth out any sharp edges with a nail file to prevent snagging.

Step 4: Moisturize Your Feet
Massage with Lotion or Olive Oil:

Apply a generous amount of moisturizer to your feet. You can use a rich foot cream, or for a more natural option, rub olive oil onto your feet to lock in moisture.

Step 5: Optional: Paint Your Toenails
