5 Steps to Beautiful Feet

High heels, sandals, bare feet. Summer is approaching and hotter weather means open shoes. So, take the time to invest in a good foot care ritual for impeccably beautiful feet.

1. TAKE A FOOT BATH
Foot baths are not only relaxing, but also great to keep your feet looking fab. Pour warm water and bath soak into a basin, and let your feet soak for at least 10 minutes. Luxe it up, by investing in an electric foot bath with massage features.

2. REMOVE ROUGH PARTS
Take a foot file or pumice brush and carefully file rough and callused skin. This is normally found on your heels, the ball of the big toe and the big toe itself. Once the skin feels softer, use a foot scrub to remove the dead skin.

3. MOISTURISE YOUR FEET
After soaking and filing your feet, they will need moisture to avoid cracks in the skin. There are plenty of creams to choose from, so select one that suits your needs. If you have dry or itchy skin go for a heavier cream, preferably under cotton socks overnight. But if you have issues with odour, choose an anti-perspirant cream.

4. CUT AND PAINT YOUR NAILS
Cut your toenails straight across, to prevent ingrown nails, and leave a small strip of white tip. Then use a file to make the edges somewhat softer. Once you’re satisfied with the look, paint your nails to get that salon-worthy result. Remember to always start with a base coat to protect your nails from discolouring and a top coat to make the polish last longer.

5. KEEP THEM SMELLING NICE
Let’s be honest, everyone’s feet smell - especially in summer! But there are products you can use to avoid embarrassing odours. We offer a number of foot sprays, from reviving sprays with a cooling effect, to straight up deodorant with clinically proven results. Just pick the one for you!
