Essential Techniques for Achieving Smooth Summer Feet
Get your feet ready for sandals with this quick, effective routine. Perfect for anyone wanting smooth, soft feet this summer.
The ritual, step by step
- Exfoliate with a scrub Use a foot scrub or a pumice stone to gently buff away dead skin. Focus on rough areas like heels and balls of your feet. Rinse well to reveal smoother skin.
- Soak and soften Soak your feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes. You can add Epsom salts for extra relaxation. This helps to soften any remaining rough spots for easier removal.
- Moisturise thoroughly Apply a rich foot cream or lotion to keep your feet hydrated. Massage it in well, paying extra attention to dry areas. This keeps your feet soft and prevents cracking.
- Protect with socks After moisturising, wear cotton socks to lock in hydration overnight. This is especially useful if your feet are very dry. You’ll wake up to softer feet!
Where people go wrong
Many skip the exfoliation step, thinking moisturising alone will suffice. Others soak for too long, which can dry out the skin instead. Remember to focus on dry areas when applying cream, and don’t forget to patch-test any new products.
