Use dry shampoo on your feet too! I love things that can be multi-purposed, especially when traveling. Did you know that dry shampoo absorbs sweat and oil from your feet? Use it when you wear heels, especially when it’s hot, to keep your feet clean and non-slip! Don’t forget to wash it off when you get home.
