Annual Spring/Summer Foot PSA

As warm weather and sandal season fast approach, don't forget to visit your friendly neighborhood salon for a pedicure!
Here are some at-home tips for getting your feet sandal-ready:
  • Apply cuticle oil to your toenails
  • Soak your feet in warm, soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes
  • Use an orange stick to gently push back the cuticles
  • If you feel comfortable with it, use cuticle nippers to gently cut away excess skin
  • Invest a couple of dollars in a foot file. Use it on your heels and the parts of your feet that get the roughest. It can be used wet or dry, but best results are wet.
  • Use an exfoliating scrub on your feet. This can be done in the shower when you are scrubbing the rest of yourself. It doesn't have to be a different scrub from what you'd use on your body.
  • Be sure to file your toenails down to a decent length. You don't want your toenails to be longer than your fingernails!
Don't let embarassing feet stand in the way of enjoying all the cute shoes this season has to offer! A little nail polish and extra effort go a long way toward making your feet a star attraction rather than something you want to hide!
