Stinky Man Foot Spray

I know, not the best subject I've broached thus far, but still a reality many of us face. This spray is perfect for the manly, aka stinky, men in your life, but it is also really great for just pampering and maintaining beautiful feet. It only requires four ingredients and an empty spray bottle that can hold at least 16 ounces (2 cups). I've gotten into the habit of reusing any spray bottle I buy, so if you have an empty bottle of household cleaner simply rinse it out with water and soap. All the other ingredients are easy to come by and relatively inexpensive.

Mint tea is something you may already have, but you can substitute it for actual mint out of the garden or mint essential oil. Peppermint is another option you may choose to use. When I made this I actually used mint green tea rather than just herbal tea which provides the added benefits of green tea (antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties). Witch hazel is an awesome astringent that comes from a sweet little shrub. If you don't own any already, head out to the closest drug store and pick up a bottle. Besides this recipe, I frequently use witch hazel as a toner. Tea tree oil is the most expensive ingredient you need for this spray, but once you make the initial purchase you'll be able to use it for a thousand things. Tea tree oil is a valuable antiseptic that can be used to treat everything from dandruff to tick removal. I use it predominately on my face, as it is great for treating acne without over drying.

 Materials

1 Cup of Water

4 Mint Teabags

1 Cup of Witch Hazel 

1/4 Teaspoon of Tea Tree Oil

16 oz. Spray Bottle

Boil 1 cup of water.

Add the 4 bags of mint tea and let steep for 30 minutes.

Remove tea bags and add the water to a clean spray bottle.

Add 1 cup of witch hazel and 1/4 teaspoon of tea tree oil.

Shake before use, as the tea tree oil will separate in the bottle.

 This spray is great because it can be used to both prevent and combat foot odor, without the use of harsh chemicals. All the ingredients in this spray are generally great for your skin, so you can use is to pamper and soften your feet even if you don't have stinky feet!
