All you really need for this beauty secret you may already have at home. As wacky as it may sound, combining Listerine and white vinegar make for the perfect foot-soak, guaranteed to leave you feet much softer and smoother in just minutes.
Why does it work? Listerine contains thymol and alcohol, which help to fight toenail fungus, cure cracked feet, soothe skin, and treat plantar warts. The essential oils in Listerine are natural antifungals, so may treat mild to moderate cases of toenail fungus and athlete’s foot.
Methyl salicylate, is also present in the branded mouthwash, and methyl salicylate contains exfoliating properties. Methyl salicylate also offers significant muscle pain relief which help in easing muscle and joint pain in the feet. It is important to keep in mind that Listerine will not treat any underlying disease, but it will surely leave the feet feeling smooth and rejuvenated.
The mild acids present in vinegar soften dry and dead skin, making it easy to exfoliate. All you need to do is mix equal parts Listerine, vinegar, and water, and soak your feet for 15 minutes. Then wipe your feet with a washcloth and, voila, smooth heels. Dry skin and calluses come right off.
