Warmer days are approaching and that means, after a long winter of hibernating, our toes will be making an appearance once again. So it’s time to get your feet ready. Here are some tips on getting your tootsies looking good for summer!
1. Buff
First you will need a pumice stone. A pumice stone is hardened lava used to buff away dry skin from your feet. When you are purchasing a stone be sure that you are buying a smooth one (Some are too rough and cause more harm than good).
It works best if you have just taken a shower or if you have soaked your feet in warm water for a few minutes first. I like to buff my feet in the shower using a Mr. Pumice.
Using the stone, buff the rough skin on the bottom of your feet (usually the heal and ball of the foot) in a circular motion. Note: Don’t try and do it all at once. You can damage the skin or even get an infection. Just give your feet a quick buff once a week till they are smooth as a baby’s bum.
2. Scrub
When you are in the shower try using a scrub on the top and bottom of your feet. It’s a gentle way to wash away dead skin.
3. Moisturize
Before going to sleep cover your feet in a thick layer of healing ointment (Vaseline, Aquaphor, Bag Balm…). Then put on a pair of cotton socks. When you wake your feet will feel much softer.
Hope this helps get your toes ready for summer!
