We use some of these acids during the facials in the spa I work at. They are very good exfoliants. I have to look up the rest. give me a few minutes and I will see what I can come up with.

maryann Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Bunny has a wonderful foot soak under the recipe section. You should research it, and try making it ...the ingredients are simple/understandable (no big words that you can't pronounce let alone know what they mean~LOL). It would be interesting to see how it compares to this expensive one. I've found that sometimes simple is better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
