Sandal season is upon us. And if your feet are suffering a bit after being tucked away all winter — you’re not the only one. If you’re looking for an easy home routine to get your ten toes looking top-notch, Purely Northwest’s tea tree oil and peppermint Epsom salt foot soak is a highly-rated fav for nixing foot fungus and many other unwanted issues. And today, a single-pound bag is 25% off. (And if you really love it, a 2-pack is 16% off.)
Recommended by runners, gym rats and anyone prone to foot fungus, reviewers say this soak is relaxing to use and very effective. “I’m only about 1 week into using the product….And there’s a HUGE difference in how the nail looks already!!!” one review said. ”…So long as I keep this up, the nail will grow a healthy nail and the fungus gone.”
The soak also contains a blend of essential oils that reviewers say smell great and leave their feet feeling refreshed. Users call it the “best product” they’ve ever used on their feet, noting how effective it is on nixing nail fungus and foot funk without totally drying out your skin.
“The first time I used this I saw an amazing difference my nails became white and clear and soft,” another said. In addition to fungus, this soak is loved by people who deal with foot odor, work on their feet all day and/or people with calluses and cracked heels. Folks love it for its result, but also because it’s a pleasurable process. Some mention buying a foot spa to use it in (which you can also grab on sale), but plenty use the salt in their usual bathtub or shower or even a literal bucket or basin.
“The granules dissolved nicely in warm water so I didn’t feel like I was resting my feet on pebbles,” one user said. ”…Better than any foot soak I’ve ever had at a nail salon!”
Hyper-practical/not super cute body products are a big hit with HuffPost readers, and we expect this soak to be the same. The brand says the magnesium in the Epsom salt helps relax tired, overworked feet while softening calluses and corns without harsh chemicals or manual scraping.
For nourishment, restoration and to keep battling foot fungus and itches, we were happy to spot this foot soak, especially at this price.
“Okay so this soak is AMAZING. I cannot even complain about the size, I can understand why some would say it’s small but I read it’s suppose to give you 16 uses and that’s a lot to me even though I pour a little extra sometimes because I don’t measure. But the first time I used This I saw an amazing difference my nails became white and clear and soft, after the first time use I started picking at the fungus and it was so soft it would fall off not all of it but the top layer and surrounding the nail part. Now this is pretty amazing because nothing had done this before to my nails I’ve struggled with toe nail fungus for years and it’s an extreme case I’ve now used it for about almost two weeks and the trick to it is after you soak your feet, pick away at the soft fungus and file them down and also make sure to dry well since fungus loves moisture. My nails are not close to being healed because my case was so severe but I have much less fungus on each toe and it minimizes with each use. This stuff is worth every single penny and I will reorder. I definitely think this will cure my years of fungus, it invaded almost a whole foot and some of them were just balls of fungus not even nail. So gross and so ashamed but I feel confident soon I will be able to wear sandals. Wish me luck maybe I’ll post a pic once it’s healed more.” — Chachi
“I purchased this product in an effort to mitigate my toenail fungus. After the first 20 minute soaking I was surprised to see that the nail discoloration was gone. I attributed this to having my foot submersed for 20 minutes and not the Tea Tree Oil soak. The next morning the discoloration was still gone. I continued soaking my foot every night for a month and used Tea Tree Oil drops daily for the same time frame. It appears that my toenail fungus has been cured – after a 15 year battle using prescription and over the counter remedies. My wife has severe psoriasis on both of her lower legs. The prescription medication (a topical cream) is expensive and should not be used for more than 10 days continuously. I suggested that she start soaking her legs in the bathtub every night after work using the Tea Tree Soak. She noticed immediate results. The daily 30 minute soak reduced her psoriasis significantly. Then I mixed 1/2 cup of olive oil with 20 drops of Tea Tree Oil and had her apply it to her lower legs before work every day. It further reduced her psoriasis, but neither of us expect a cure – there is none. She doesn’t smell like a salad bar if that is a question regarding applying an olive oil based mixture to her legs.” — Scott
“I got this product for my dad that’s on dialysis. With a dangerous port in his neck, he was unable to do showers/baths per doctor’s orders for fear of infection for 18 months! As you can imagine, his feet took a toll from just sponge baths and wet wipes. At his foot check up with the nurse (after having pain) she believed a sore on his foot was going to tunnel. I put this product (3 semi heaping teaspoons) in an automated foot bath for 20 minutes and gave his feet some TLC before his podiatrist appointment. This soak removed dead skin, took away redness at the place of the problem, and helped deodorize his feet. He said they felt the best they had in months. We plan to get on a schedule of doing a foot bath for him once every week or two. I was concerned that the smell might be overpowering, as I have chemical sensitivities, but this just had a clean, minty scent. I’m very pleased with this product! I have one other product from this brand and had been wanting to try this specific one. It did not disappoint!” — FromSea2ShiningSea777
“If you’re on the fence on buying this product, contemplate no more. I have absolutely fallen in love with this soak. It makes my feet feel wonderful, but honestly I bought this because I have suffered with ingrown toenails since completing chemo therapy some years back. I have already had a surgical partial nail avulsion by my DPM. In fact his recommendation was for me to soak my feet often. The bonus is I found this, and it has helped with taming the pain and discomfort. With the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic and my salon being closed, I took a chance with this soak and made a purchase of a good quality cuticle remover lotion and tool. I am at the point now that I don’t feel it necessary to have to return to the salon. I highly recommend this product based on my personal experience.” — D A W
“This is my second order this product and I am so glad I came across this. After about a 15-to-20-minute soak in warm water, your feet will feel fantastic. I walk a lot during the day so at the end of the day this soak is just what the doctor ordered. A tablespoon with a gallon of warm water is all that is necessary. Try it; you will not regret it.” — Maximus
