Riquette's International Beauty Secrets: The Amazing World of Kitchen Cosmetics (ILL of the day)

Captain ILL hasn't paid much attention to his personal appearance over the years. This is no doubt a result of wearing a cooking pot on his head at all times. Similarly, he's never had a pedicure because he refuses to remove his boots as he needs to remain ever vigilant in case some miscreant needs booting. Even so, he likes the idea of being able to "use common food items from the pantry to make pure, fresh and inexpensive beauty products". Here's a recipe that the Captain can't wait to try if he ever takes his boots off:

After the Ball Footbath
After a night of dancing, tell your feet "Merci Beaucoup!"

1/4 Cup Epsom Salt
1/2 Cup Baking Soda
Handful of Fragrant Flowers

Add ingredients to a tub of warm water and soak as desired.

Captain, if you ever decide to take your boots off, my only request is that you do so outdoors and during a stiff 25 mph breeze out of the north.

With all these required conditions for the removal of boots (outdoors, a stiff breeze, evil vanquished)Captain ILL will never get a chance to use the "After the Ball Footbath"!
