Feet. Supposedly more than 50% of
women hate theirs. But don’t neglect them; love them and they’ll love you back!
Take some time to give yourself a pedi at home. Not only is a home pedi very relaxing but with a little TLC, you might
just end up loving your feet as much as you love the shoes you put them in!
Our four steps to fabulous feet
and some great products to help you on your way:
1. SOAK
Cosmopolitan Foot Heaven Foot Spa (£44.99)
Whoever said hard skin should be
hard work?
Fewer things could be more relaxing than giving your feet 30 minutes in the Cosmopolitan Foot Heaven Foot Spa. Being able to soak your feet, give them a soothing, sensual massage and even dry your nails makes this foot spa the daddy of all foot spas definitely worth treating yourself to one of these!

If you don’t have a home foot
spa, don’t panic! Use a plastic washing up bowl instead! The key is to soak the
feet as the softer the skin becomes, the easier it will be to remove dry and
dead skin from your feet’s surface.
TOP TIP: After removing the dead
skin, pop your feet back in warm water with a good glug of olive oil! Olive oil
really is nature’s gift to us. It leaves your feet silky soft and locks the
moisture in!
2. EXFOLIATE
Callous Remover
Ok, so we know this one looks a little daunting but, trust
us, this tool is a good’un. A callous
remover is essentially a hand held razor blade and is perfect for removing dead
skin which has built up on areas such as your little toes, down the sides of
your feet and around the heel. The results are significantly more dramatic than
if you use a hard skin remover or pumice stone only. Used carefully, a callous
remover will give your feet a fresh and smooth start.
Body Shop Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub

Body Shop No More Rough Skin Foot Smoother, £3.

Peppermint is a natural antiseptic. It is known to soften
skin and is particularly good for soothing tired, sore feet. Not only does this
scrub do all of that but it also smells divine! It is particularly gritty (due
to the volcanic rock granules) so it really smoothes out the rough skin on your
feet. For extra special results, use hard skin remover / pumice stone and rub
over the scrub before you rinse it off.
3. MOISTURISE
Lush Volcano Foot Mask
Who knew masks weren’t only for faces?? This product is to
die for! Packed with papaya (here comes the science bit) which contains an
enzyme that digests dead skin cells, this product is the perfect indulgence for
your feet and will leave them feeling refreshed, silky-soft and well and truly
pampered.

Soap & Co Cuticle Oil (£10)
This is a really gorgeous product and made entirely from
natural oils. Massage into the cuticles of your toe nails after pushing back
your cuticles to keep your toe nails nourished and healthy.
REMEMBER: Remember to use a cuticle remover before pushing back
your cuticles and push back with a rosewood stick rather than a metal tool!
4. PRETTY
Now you have soft, smooth and supple feet, PRETTY them with
a complimentary nail colour and be daring with it!
Lastly, pray for sun so you can bare your now gorgeous
tootsies for all the world to see!
