It was a long and brutal winter. We stuffed our feet into snow boots, thick socks, Uggs, and those cute (but uncomfortable) high heeled boots. But now as the weather gets warmer and we transition into the season of cookouts, pool parties, and hot days it only means one thing: time to expose our feet!
How are yours? If you take your shoes and socks off now are your feet so ashy they appear white? Do they give off an odor? What about the soles? Are they flaky with dead skin? No need to pay for an expensive pedicure, here is how a step by step guide to get your feet ready for the summer.
Step 1. Soak Your Feet! It’s great if you have a pedicure foot soak at home but for those on a budget all you need is a small plastic tub which can be purchased at Wal-Mart or the dollar store. Fill up to a ½ the tub, enough to emerge your feet in warm water. Add two teaspoons of Happy Feet Peppermint and Lavender foot soak to the tub. Soak feet for about 10-15 minutes. This not only softens dead skin for easy removal but it’s also great treat for tired or aching feet.
Step 2. Use a pumice stone and gently scrape dead skin from the heels.
Step 3 Use an exfoliating scrub and massage into each foot for 30 seconds. I recommend a sugar or salt scrub such as Hollywood Fresh or Ghanaian Brown Sugar for especially scaly feet because it will take the dead skin cells off and moisturize.
Step 4 Rinse feet off. Pat dry and finish with Happy Feet foot cream and or Happy Feet deodorizer spray.
Enjoy your new feet!
