The beautiful weather made for a hard reality check. Our feet weren't ready for open shoes yet. That won't happen to us again. With this step-by-step plan you can make your feet beautiful for the summer.
Step 1
Remove old nail polish residue on your toenails.
Step 2
Prepare a foot bath containing an effervescent tablet or a little oil. Soak your feet for ten to fifteen minutes.
Step 3
After the foot bath, your feet will be soft, making it easier to remove calluses. Use a pumice stone for this. If you suffer from a lot of calluses, you can opt for a foot file. Be careful not to remove too much calluses, that can be painful when walking.
Step 4
Trim or file your toenails straight and push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher. If you choose to trim your nails, then run the file along the sharp edges.
Step 5
Lubricate your feet nicely. If you take care of your feet in the evening, you can apply an extra thick layer. Then put on cotton socks so that it can absorb extra well.
Step 6
When the cream has completely absorbed, it's time for a nice color nail polish. Do this in several layers:start with base coat, then apply one or two coats of color followed by a top coat.
Step 7
If you have not worn sandals or open shoes for a long time, the chance of blisters is greater. To prevent this, use a blister stick or take plasters with you.
Step 8
Don't forget to keep track of your feet every now and then. Scrubbing, rubbing in, occasionally using the callus file and a polish ensure that your feet are always ready for good weather.
