Foot Care - Say Goodbye to Ugly Feet!
Making ugly feet beautiful begins with the proper foot care. If you are extremely reluctant to have a pedicure and would rather have pins stuck in your eyes than let someone touch your feet, you can do this right at home. It's simpler than you think to make your ugly feet beautiful so you can wear the shoes you've been wanting! There are several steps to take.
Here are the things you will need:
- Nail polish remover and cotton pads
- Foot soak like Dr. Scholl's or oatmaeal....
- Toenail clippers or scissors
- Cuticle Stick
- Cuticle oil
- Nail File
- Foot scrub
- Pedicure brush
- Foot lotion
Remove polish, trim nails. Soak your feet in the tub of warm water with 1/2 cup of epsom salts. Soak your feet for 5 minutes or more, remove, pat dry and apply cuticle remover to your toes. After a few moments, gently push back with a cuticle stick and resume soaking for 10-15 minutes more. Remove and pat dry with a towel.
- If you have a great deal of calloused, cracked skin, use a pumice stone, foot file or callous remover to remove as much as possible.
- If you have corns on your feet, you can minimize their appearance by gently filing and smoothing with the soft side of an emery board.
- Use a foot scrub such as St. Ives formula apricot and massage feet thoroughly...be sure to pay special attention to the heels, tops of toes, and the area around your ankles. Rinse and pat dry again.
- Apply a rich foot moisturizer or oil to your feet. Massage into your feet, between your toes, around ankles and the soles of your feet.
- Wash and rinse your feet one more time. Dry them carefully, paying special attention to your toes and nails. Apply two coats of polish, if desired, and one top coat to finish.
Removing the corns, callouses, and dry skin on your feet and heels takes time - following these steps regularly is important. Browse UgleeFeet.com for more great ideas, and check out some shoes that are comfy and smart!
One of the most helpful ways to keep your feet soft and smooth is to apply a moisturizer at night - even olive oil will work - and slipping on a pair of light cotton socks while you sleep. When you shower in the morning, scrub your toes and feet with a foot brush, and you will be amazed at how soft they feel - and look!
