Yesterday, I returned home after 17 days volunteering in the North West Territories. My feet were in need of special attention. Once again, I gave myself a pedicure. It really is quite simple and inexpensive.
Follow these steps :
1). Soak your feet 10 minutes in Epsom salts. Remove old polish.
2). Exfoliate with a scrub – (there are many homemade recipes online)
3). Clean, trim and shape nails
4). Apply lotion
5) Optional – apply a few coats of polish (light pink looks clean and natural)
To keep it up – lather your feet with lotion before you go to bed. Any lotion will do. Put on cotton socks and leave them on overnight. If your feet are very dry and cracked add Vaseline to your lotion or use Vaseline by itself. Each time you shower or bath, use a pumice stone on your heels and rough spots. You can exfoliate at this time also. Do not try to remove all dry skin at one time.
If you keep this up, you will have pretty feet year round.
