Since it is acidic in nature, vinegar helps kill any bacteria on your palms and feet and has a drying effect. Mix it with warm water and soak your feet or palms for about 15 to 30 minutes. We recommend apple cider vinegar for best results.
Soak In Tea

If you are fine with vinegar then you should be fine with tea as well. Tea helps in getting rid of any bacteria and tightens your pores so you sweat less. Just soak black tea bags into hot water and let it cool to a comfortable temperature before putting your feet in.
Use Baking Soda
Baking soda helps in balancing the pH of your feet and palms due to its alkaline nature. It’ll help to reduce the sweat and prevent feet odour as well. Dissolve baking soda into warm water and soak your feet for 15 to 30 minutes.
