The heat is on—are you still hiding your
flaky toes, cracked heels, and downright funky feet inside sweaty
sneakers? If so, then it’s time to
spruce up your steppers and set them free! But
there’s no need to spend big bucks on a professional pedicure, when you can DIY
for pennies. Here’s how:
1. Conquer the calluses. The next time you take a
bath, treat your feet to a moisturizing salt rub. Dampen a handful of Epsom
salts with a small amount of almond or olive oil. Then scrub your feet until
the salt’s dissolved and the oil has softened your skin.
2. Soothe your heels. Rub a half a lemon on your
heels to promote smoother skin.
3. Tend to your toenails. Nails are vulnerable to
fungus infections that can cause discoloration and deformity. The best
treatment is to keep your toes as clean and dry as possible.
4. Get help from herbs. Calcium and magnesium are
essential to nail health. Make a mineral-packed herbal potion by mixing
together equal parts of nettles (which is rich in both calcium and magnesium),
horsetail, and oats. Steep 1 heaping teaspoon in 1 cup of hot water for 10
minutes, and drink 1 to 2 cups daily.
5. Make it a multi. A daily multivitamin will help ensure that your body has the right
nutrition for proper nail growth. Healthy nails are less likely to become
ingrown or infected.
Follow up your DIY pedicure with a generous
smear of our Foot & Heel Revitalizing Cream. The enhanced, extra-strength formula
works miracles on tired, worn out, or neglected feet, soothing and smoothing
even the roughest, toughest skin. Just massage it in and you'll feel the
serious, yet gentle therapeutic action as it heals and protects your tender tootsies.
