With summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to make sure your feet and toes are in excellent shape for sandals. To achieve this, you don’t have to run out and spend a bunch of money on a professional spa pedicure. In fact, many of the same results can be produced at home simply by choosing quality foot care products.
Step 1: Prep your feet.
If you have calloused feet, apply a product such as Rock Off Callus Remover from butter LONDON, wait a few minutes, and file away your rough spots. You’ll want to do this before soaking, as softened skin can be prone to more tears and breakage when you file, which will only make your dry spots worse. Trim and shape your toenails as needed, then gently push back your cuticles and apply a bit of cuticle oil.
Step 2: Enjoy a soak.
Next, set yourself up with a relaxing foot bath to both cleanse and soften your skin. Use warm water and essential oils to both soothe your feet and please your senses.
Step 3: Moisturize.
After your soak, dry off your feet and apply a healing moisturizer like Spa Bath Hand and Foot Butter from Lisa Hoffman to nourish your tootsies. For rough heels, try the Stiletto Stick Hydrating Heel Balm, which is a part of the Pedicure Collection from butter LONDON. This balm will help bring out silky soft heels in no time.
Step 4: Paint.
Once you’re ready to paint on your favorite butter LONDON polish, prime the nails by swabbing with nail polish remover to clean off the surface. Next, apply a base coat just like you would for your fingernails. Finally, in an effort to keep chips at bay, apply two coats of your butter LONDON nail polish – make sure to paint the front edge of your nails, as this is where most chips start.
Now sit back and allow your butter LONDON polish to dry while you blissfully think about how pretty your toes will look in the summer’s hottest sandals.
