How to Make a Natural Foot Deodorizer

There are going to be times when your feet don't smell so good, as when they begin to sweat. If you like to wear sneakers without socks, you are bound to experience bad odors that linger because there is no sock to absorb the moisture from your sweat. If you are not interested in purchasing foot deodorizers that may contain harsh chemicals, you can make your own natural foot deodorizer at home.
