Yesterday we talked about Summer Hair Care, but what about your feet? If regular pedis just aren't in your time and/or budget, you can do it on your own.Click the pic to learn more about the products.
- First, exfoliate feet with a file or pumice stone.
- Rub feet in glycolic acid or salicylic acid cleanser (yes, the same stuff you use on your face) to further remove dead skin. I use the facial acne removal pads on my feet.
- Wipe off and soak feet in milk 15 minutes. If you have a foot spa, even better!
- Rinse and slather an aloe-based lotion on feet.
- Put on socks, leave on overnight (preferably), and dream of your summer destination. In the morning, your feet will be soft. Repeat nightly for best results.
- For an extra-special treat, invest in a paraffin wax foot kit.
How do you keep your feet summer ready?
pedicures are so fun, i just got one a few weeks ago for the first time in like two years!
ReplyDeletethe socks overnight thing definitely works, too, i've done that a bunch of time.
I love my foot spa!
ReplyDeletethanks for the tips! my feet could use some work currently.
ReplyDeleteI've gotta try that salicylic acid pad idea. I agree that it is real important to have good looking feet in the summer. Nothing ruins a look like dry, cracked heels.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips!
ReplyDeleteI hit up the sleeping-in-socks trick all the time; it really works. :)
