I Tried The Listerine Foot Soak & Here’s What Happened
With this lush sunny weather taking over Scotland lately my feet have taken a battering. What with the endless wearing of slides, flip flops, sandals and heels, there is no wonder my heels are starting to resemble the Grand Canyon and my feet are so dry they have turned white! So with a quick google and some obsessive pinning on Pinterest I found the Listerine Foot Soak. Apparently this foot soak is the miracle cure I have been looking for. It promises to smooth out my heels and leave my feet not only smelling great but transformed into that of a foot model. Aberdeen Modelling Agency here I come. So I thought, why not? Lets try it! The best thing about it is that it only needs 3 ingredients that are ready available in my cupboard so I don’t need to leave the house at all. YASSS.What You Will Need

- 1 Cup of Listerine
- 1 Cup of Vinegar
- 2 Cups of Water
- Optional: Epsom Salts
The Verdict
So did this miracle cure turn my hard dry feet into magazine, OPI commercial ready? Or was this just another hype with no backbone that was invented by the marketing team at Johnson & Johnson to boost Listerine sales. ” Hey, If it doesn’t work for your teeth, then it is will definitely transform your feet”. Though I will admit I found the soak to be therapeutic and relaxing, while also giving me an excuse to do nothing for 20 minutes. It was not the miracle cure that Pinterest articles claim. The dead skin did not miraculously drop off my feet. Unicorns did not start dancing around my living room in honour of this miracle. Even after sloughing away at my heels for what felt like an eternity nothing really happened out of the ordinary. So Is the Listerine Foot Soak the key to all our foot dreams? Maybe not. It might be good at keeping bad breath at bay, but it definitely is not the fountain of youth for your feet. Though I will say that it DID leave my feet smelling of mouthwash and vinegar which I am sure will linger around for the next week. My lucky Husband! Maybe this is actually an improvement…….So What Does Work?

Thank you for this post! It was amusing and I must admit, I’ve actually been wonder about this. I’ve tried the Epsom salt with clay and other things to detox, but I just felt ok.
Kylie Abreu
Ohh 😮 haven’t tried the clay thing! If all else fails at least you get some relaxing time alone

I’ve never heard of the Listerine foot soak! Good to know it’s not super effective.

I’m a trained dancer, so over the years my feet have taken a right battering, they are absolutely horrendous. I’ve never heard of it, and I’d quite to know who thought to test it haha! I think after this I’ll stick to just foot cream!
Kylie Abreu
Hahaha I know, whoever thought of this was definitely desperate
