How to care for your feet

Your feet carry you around all day long, so give your feet the treat they deserve. During the summer months, chances are you'll want to show off your newest sandals. But how do your feet look? Make sure your feet are well-cared for, or exposure to the summer sun might further damage them. Follow these simple daily tips for beautiful, stunning feet.

Tip #1

3 steps for beautiful feet

  1. SCRUB
    Use a foot scrub at least twice a week. Apply to dry feet before having a bath or a shower. Scrub it in gently with your hands for a few minutes, then rinse off. You can either use a body scrub or a specifically designed foot scrub.
  2. MOISTURIZE
    Podiatrists say the biggest problem with most feet is that they aren't hydrated enough. Use an intensive moisturizer after bathing and massage it in thoroughly. Use your thumbs to massage your arch in a circular motion. Then gently massage the top of your feet. Spend five to ten minutes on each foot.
  3. TREAT YOUR NAILS
    Treat your nails. Always keep your toe nails trimmed and cut straight across. Cutting them after bathing is recommended, as they are softer. Apply cuticle oil to your toe nails to keep them soft.

How to get rid of dry heels

Uncomfortable heels are the result of extremely dry feet, and can easily be avoided by following these simple tips.
  1. Before caring for your feet, make sure they are warm and moistened: soak them in a warm foot bath for 5 to 15 minutes. You can use bath salts for added relief.
  2. Wet a pumice stone in warm soapy water, then rub it gently on the dried areas of the feet.
  3. Pat your feet dry. Don't rub them, as the freshly pumiced skin can be sensitive.
  4. Apply a rich moisturising cream on your feet. Massage it in to help release the tensions of the day and kick-start your beauty sleep.
