Why this worksFoot care is essential as our feet endure a lot of wear and tear. Regularly exfoliating, moisturising, and caring for your nails helps prevent dryness and discomfort. This routine not only keeps your feet looking good but also feeling great, making them ready to show off in your favourite sandals.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Soak Your Feet Fill a basin with warm water and add Epsom salts or a few drops of essential oils. Soak your feet for 10-15 minutes to relax and soften the skin.
  2. Exfoliate Gently Using a foot scrub or a pumice stone, gently exfoliate the soles of your feet to remove dead skin. Focus on areas that tend to get rough, but be careful not to overdo it, as this can irritate your skin.
  3. Moisturise Well After drying your feet, apply a thick foot cream or moisturiser. Massage it in, paying special attention to your heels and any dry areas to lock in hydration.
  4. Tend to Your Toenails Trim and file your toenails straight across to prevent ingrown nails. Finish with a nourishing cuticle oil to keep the surrounding skin soft and healthy.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip soaking, thinking it's unnecessary, but it helps soften the skin for better exfoliation. Also, over-exfoliating can lead to irritation, so be gentle. Lastly, remember to moisturise daily, not just during your routine.

The pro moveTry incorporating a foot mask once a week for an extra boost of hydration and pampering.
