Why this worksBeautiful feet start with proper exfoliation and moisturisation. Regular care helps remove dead skin and keeps your skin hydrated, preventing cracks and rough patches. The right techniques will ensure your feet stay soft and comfortable all summer long.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Regularly Use a foot scrub or pumice stone to gently buff away dead skin. Focus on areas like heels and soles, which can get particularly rough. Aim to exfoliate at least once a week to maintain smoothness.
  2. Moisturise Daily After exfoliating, apply a rich foot cream or oil to your feet. Pay special attention to the heels and between the toes. Moisturising daily will help keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness.
  3. Nail Care Essentials Trim and shape your toenails regularly to keep them looking neat. Use a nail file to smooth any rough edges. Don’t forget to push back your cuticles gently to promote healthy nail growth.
  4. Protect From the Elements Always wear sunscreen on your feet when in sandals to protect against sunburn. If you're walking on hot surfaces, consider wearing flip-flops or sandals that offer foot protection.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliating, leading to rough heels. Others forget to moisturise, which can cause dry skin. Not protecting your feet from sun exposure is another common oversight, resulting in painful burns.

The pro moveTry a foot mask once a week for an extra boost of hydration and softness.
