Why this worksAs the weather warms, our feet can become dry and neglected. A consistent foot care routine helps to exfoliate dead skin, moisturise, and refresh your feet, making them feel rejuvenated. Regular pampering not only improves appearance but also enhances comfort, so you can step out with confidence.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Soak Your Feet Start by soaking your feet in warm water for about 10-15 minutes. This helps to soften the skin and makes it easier to remove any rough patches. You can add Epsom salt or essential oils for an extra soothing experience.
  2. Exfoliate After soaking, gently scrub your feet with a foot scrub or a pumice stone. Focus on areas that tend to get rough, like the heels and balls of your feet. This will help remove dead skin and leave your feet feeling smooth.
  3. Moisturise Once your feet are exfoliated, it’s time to moisturise. Apply a rich foot cream or lotion, massaging it into your feet and especially between the toes. This hydrates the skin and keeps your feet looking fresh and soft.
  4. Nail Care Don’t forget your toenails! Trim and file them neatly, and consider applying a nourishing cuticle oil. This will not only improve the look of your nails but also promote healthier growth.
  5. Relax and Elevate Finish off your routine by lying back and elevating your feet for a few minutes. This can help reduce any swelling and is a lovely way to wind down after your foot care session.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip soaking their feet, which can make exfoliation less effective. Others may not moisturise thoroughly, leading to dryness. Also, avoid using harsh scrubs that can irritate the skin. Remember to be gentle with your nails to prevent damage.

The pro moveAdd a couple of drops of peppermint oil to your foot cream for a refreshing tingle.

Good questions

While you can, a dedicated foot cream is usually thicker and more hydrating for dry feet.

Regular exfoliation and moisturising can help; consult a GP for persistent issues.
