Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a natural favorite for foot care thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Many use it to fight odor, soothe athlete’s foot, and soften rough skin. To try it, mix one part ACV with two parts warm water and soak your feet for 10–15 minutes. The mild acidity helps balance skin pH and leaves feet softer and fresher.
Avoid soaking if you have cuts or sensitive skin, and limit sessions to once or twice weekly. Compared with Epsom-salt or baking-soda soaks, ACV’s antimicrobial edge makes it stand out. It’s not a cure for serious issues, but as a simple self-care ritual, an ACV soak can refresh tired feet and restore natural comfort affordably.
