Take care of your feet!
After a long winter, during which we hide our feet with boots and socks, they can become dry and rough. We spend the year taking care of our hair, body and nails, but who takes care of our feet? If not us, no one will! According to the Chinese, the feet are as important as the rest of our body because they have points that connect to our internal organs! If you want to show off your beautiful and healthy feet during this spring and summer, you just need to follow the suggestions that we’ll give you here on the EscapeShoes blog! Are you ready? Let’s go!
- Exfoliate!
That’s right! The first step is to exfoliate your feet to get rid of the dead skin that may have accumulated over time! You can place your feet in a warm water basin and let them rest for a few minutes, then you just need to do the exfoliation with specific products for such or with a pumice stone. Take special attention to the heels!
Homemade exfoliant recipe:
Mix in a cup 4 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of corn flour (you may even add 2 spoons of white sugar if you’re looking for a more powerful exfoliant). Apply this paste to your feet, especially on drier areas. The good thing about this recipe is that it can be used for your entire body! It exfoliates and also moisturizes because of the honey!
- Moisturize!
After exfoliating, it’s very important to moisturize the skin. Apply the moisturizing cream at the same time as you massage your feet! Massages are not only for when you’re in pain, they also serve to activate circulation thus keeping your feet from getting swollen. If you’ve very dry feet, you can also apply a greater amount of cream by wearing socks. Afterwards, you can go to sleep while the cream acts throughout the night! When you wake up, your feet will be as smooth as a baby!
- Take care of your nails!
Now that your feet are ready and impeccable, it’s time to take care of your nails! If you want to use sandals during the hottest months, it’s very important to have pretty nails! Toenails deserve special attention because they may ingrown very easily. It’s recommended to always cut them in a straight line so that they don’t stay over the skin and ingrown. Push the cuticles or apply a cuticle remover cream to remove the excess. And then, you just need to paint them with a colourful nail polish, but don’t forget to change it regularly because your nails also need to breathe!
Now that you’ve nice and pretty feet, you just need to buy a new pair of sandals to give it that final touch, don’t you think so? You already know that there are many pairs to choose from at the EscapeShoes online store, so don’t forget to take a sneak peek!
