1️⃣ Soak in Lemon Juice + Warm Water
Method:
-
Mix ½–1 cup lemon juice in a basin of warm water.

Soak feet 10–15 minutes daily.

Rinse and pat dry.
Benefits:
-
Lemon’s citric acid can gently exfoliate dead skin.
-
May help soften calluses.
-
Natural antibacterial properties can reduce odor.
Caution:
-
Avoid if you have cuts, cracks, or open sores — citric acid can sting.
-
Limit sun exposure after treatment; lemon juice can make skin photosensitive.
2️⃣ Scrub With Lemon Juice + Salt or Olive Oil
Method:
-
Mix 1–2 tsp lemon juice with 1 tsp salt or 1 tsp olive oil.
-
Gently massage onto rough or discolored areas for 2–3 minutes.
-
Rinse and pat dry.
Benefits:
-
Salt acts as a mechanical exfoliant.
-
Olive oil moisturizes and prevents dryness.

Helps remove dead skin and soften tough spots.
Caution:

Be gentle — over-scrubbing can irritate or damage skin.

Test a small area first for sensitivity.
⚠️ Extra Tips
-
Moisturize feet after treatments with a thick cream or oil to lock in hydration.
-
For stubborn calluses or cracked heels, combine this with a pumice stone 2–3 times a week.

Always wear sunscreen or avoid direct sunlight on treated areas if using lemon juice on exposed skin.
