When it comes to beauty care one
aspect of our body that we tend
to neglect often is our feet.
Your feet carry the weight of
your entire body and if often
one of the most abused and least
cared for parts of your body.
Foot care is very important in
order to keep your feet healthy
and beautiful. The skin on your
feet is very delicate and foot
skin care on a regular basis is
a must if your feet are to look
beautiful. Given below is a foot
care routine, that is simple and
is not time consuming and that
you can follow a few times a
week.
The first step to good foot care
is to remove the hard skin from
your feet. You may have to use a
pumice stone or apply cream
generously on the area in order
to remove the dead foot skin.
Soak your feet in a bowl of
slightly hot water. This will
soften the dirt and the dead
skin, which will allow you to
remove it easily. You could use
a foot file as well, rub your
skin gently and rinse off the
flaky residue.
After this soak your feet for
about 10 min in a bowl of warm
water. Add some mineral salts or
palm sea salts, along with a few
drops of lavender essential oils
that will relieve the aches and
reduce the swelling.
Dry your feet, especially
between your toes. Trim the
nails of your toes by cutting
straight across the tip. Shape
the corners with an emery board.
Massage your feet with rich foot
skin cream. Cup your hands on
either side of your foot and
with your thumbs firmly press
the upper part of your foot
while pushing your thumbs
outwards.
Gently massage the anklebone in
a circular motion to remove any
stiffness in the ankle.
Remove the extra cream from your
nails. Then place cotton wool
tufts in-between your toes to
keep them apart.
First apply a base coat of nail
polish and then apply a second
coat if required. When you apply
nail polish, begin from the
middle of the nail with one
quick stroke and then work
outwards.
Wait for ½ an hour before
wearing your shoes.
Follow this foot skin care
routine a few times a week and
you will have lovely looking
feet.
