When it comes to your skincare routine, chances are that your feet get the short end of the self-care stick. We get it, your face comes first. But that doesn't mean that tired, dry and achy feet don't deserve some TLC.
Enter the foot spa. If you are unfamiliar, "a foot spa is an at-home foot care device that holds water and utilizes many mechanisms like temperature adjustments, massage options and more," explains Marcela Correa, owner and medical nail technician at MediPedi NYC Inc. "They are typically used to soak and soothe feet, relieve pain or discomfort in toenails and soles of the feet and to prep feet for a deep cleansing or treatment."
While you may see the terms "foot spa" and "foot massagers" used interchangeably, they are actually not the same type of machine. "Foot spas can hold water and are used to soak feet, while massagers typically do just what the name says," shares Correa, "although some foot spas do include a massage setting." Keep reading for our top picks for the best foot spas, including a combo of expert picks and top-rated devices from reputable sources.
