Question

How do you set up a foot spa machine?

Community Answer

First of all, plug in the machine. You dont want the plug to get wet with water and shock you. Then carefully pour water into the machine (optional- add Epsom salt), then you turn it on. Soak your feet for as long as desired.

Question

Specifically, how can I make my feet softer for the rest of my life when I have hard skin at bottom of my feet?

Community Answer

Try regularly using a pumice stone. Heels that crack easily and get calluses can be improved by rubbing over them at the end of the shower, to remove the hard and dry dead skin. It does need regular upkeep, though.

Question

What kind of soap or lotion can I use for a foot spa?

Community Answer

I would use something that is either scented with lavender or almond. Really any will work. They do have some foot soaps at Target, Walmart, etc.

Question

Can I use a bathtub instead of a plastic tub? How would this affect the amounts of different things I would need to use?

Community Answer

You could. You would probably want to increase the amounts of the things you add to the bath, as a bathtub will hold more water.

Question

What is the cost of each spa session?

Community Answer

The cost for a foot spa session will vary dramatically depending on where you live, how exclusive the salon is and what other treatments you are having at the same time, like a pedicure and nail art. A ballpark figure is anywhere from $25 to $250 is possible. Call ahead and ask the spa salon you want to go to and ask them for a price.
