Preparing your feet for those Summer Shoes

June 25, 2009 / 11:08   Fashion   admin

Now that summer is here and we can no longer wear those boots and closed shoes which hid away our feet from the public eye, it is time to give some attention to our feet before we put those skimpy sandals on.

Feet that have been confined in tight fitting shoes all winter long might have suffered a bit and may not be looking their best, so the first thing we have to do is give them a face lift as it were!

It’s a good idea, if you have started to notice any bumps or bulges which could be corns or bunions, to start off by visiting a chiropodist so that he can give you some treatment and stop them from getting any worse.

Now that you have made sure that the medical side of things is okay you can now get down to making them look pretty and worthy of looking at. Arrange for a pedicure where they will be able to do this all for you.
First of all you will get your feet soaked for quite a while in a foot bath with a special solution which will help soften up any hard skin that you have and so make it easier for it to be removed later with a pumice stone. Once this has been done any stray cuticles will be trimmed with a special cuticle cutter and the others pushed back with cotton wool on an orange stick, your nails will be filed down to a nice length and shape and finally you will get a lovely foot massage with a nourishing oil like Sweet Almond Oil which the skin on your feet will really benefit from.

It is now up to you whether you would like a nail polish applied or just have your nails buffed so that they look white and shiny on their own merit!

Now you can wear your summer shoes with pride.
