Preparing for Summer feet


Warmer days are an excuse to treat yourself to a sexy new pair of sandals and proudly show off your newly pedicured toes. But how do we keep our feet looking beautifully healthy and sun kissed all summer long?


It is a fact that feet get dirty, especially if you’ve been out walking, or out sight- seeing on holiday. So take some time to care for them and reap the benefits of happy and healthy feet.


At the end of the day wash your feet well; give them a good scrub and follow with a foot massage to your feet with foot cream. Keeping them elevated for 10 minutes helps take the stress of your circulatory system.

Be sure to keep your feet clean and well moisturised: dry, cracking, peeling and sore skin can be the signs of a fungal infection, such as athletes foot, so apply an antifungal medication as soon as it occurs. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to your feet, especially the tops and in between the toes, 20 to 30 minutes before going outdoors. Then, in the summer months ensure you wear shoes a half size bigger than usual to accommodate any daytime puffiness. If sweaty feet are a problem use an effective anti-perspirant as a final flourish for lovely fresh feet.


As your feet are on display during the summer months, invest in a great pedicure and then maintain your toes at home in perfect condition.
