Why this worksFoot care is often neglected, yet our feet endure so much daily stress. A proper routine can help alleviate discomfort and promote better circulation. By treating your feet to a little extra attention, you’re not just pampering them; you’re also enhancing your overall well-being.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Soak Your Feet Fill a basin with warm water and add Epsom salts or essential oils. Soak your feet for about 15-20 minutes to relax muscles and soften skin.
  2. Exfoliate Gently Use a foot scrub or a pumice stone to exfoliate dead skin gently. Focus on areas like heels and balls of your feet for a smoother texture.
  3. Moisturise Well Apply a rich foot cream or lotion generously, massaging it into your feet and ankles. This helps lock in moisture and keeps your skin supple.
  4. Nail Care Trim your toenails straight across and gently push back cuticles. This promotes healthy nail growth and prevents ingrown nails.
  5. Relax and Elevate After your foot care routine, elevate your feet on a cushion for 10-15 minutes. This helps improve circulation and enhances relaxation.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the soaking step, which can lead to tougher skin. Over-exfoliating can cause irritation and damage, so be gentle. Also, don’t forget to moisturise—dry feet can lead to cracks and discomfort.

The pro moveAdd a few drops of lavender oil to your foot soak for added relaxation.

Good questions

How often should I do a foot care routine?

Aim for a weekly routine, but feel free to pamper your feet more often if needed.

Can I use regular body lotion on my feet?

While you can, a dedicated foot cream is thicker and more effective for dry skin.

What should I do for calluses?

Use a pumice stone gently during exfoliation, and follow up with a good moisturiser.
