Sandal season is truly upon us, and
with it can come a serious fear of
exposing our toes. Often neglected
through the winter, dry, cracked feet
can put a serious dent in both your
comfort and confidence, but worry
not; there are plenty of easy ways to
put the pep back in your step.
For particularly bad offenders, be
sure to buff away any rough parts
before applying moisture—water will
only mask the areas in need of the
most treatment. If opting for
electricals, choose a small, cordless
pumice device that is angled for easy
use, and remember to use on a low
speed setting while you get your
bearings. Regular pumice stones can
work just as well, but require a little
more patience. Use a fine grain for
delicate skin, and a coarser buffer for
heels and calluses.
Sock soaks are the latest in
pedicure must-haves, and for
good reason. Simply slip them
on, relax and allow a rich blend
of moisturising ingredients to work
their magic. Look for formulations
Jenessa Williams offers up
tips for the perfect pedicure
that include ingredients such as mint
and aloe vera to cool and calm any
particularly achy parts. Once
softened, use a cuticle tool to gently
push back any skin rather than
cutting. It’s much kinder on the feet
and creates a much more even finish
to applying a nourishing nail
treatment. All that remains is to pick
your favourite polish colour, ready to
step out in style. nHero Products
