As spring thaws out the country and
warmer temperatures creep back into our days, we can't help but get
excited about digging out our favorite sandals from the back
of our closets. Our toes are tired of being cramped
in boots and tennis shoes, and unfortunately, they look it. Winter
is hard on anyone's feet, and here at Beauty of a site, we're ready
to help you get your toes back in the game. Here are the steps
we swear by for getting your toes ready for summer!
- Start with a good soak. As with any part of your body, your feet
need hydration to heal. Avoid getting pruney, but make sure your skin is
good and damp.
- Use a refining scrub like OPI's Tropic Citrus Scrub. The scrub will
gently exfoliate surface impurities and dry skin, as well as any
dirt that can hide between your toes.
- Scrub away at more stubborn calluses around your heels & the
balls of your feet with a foot file. Be careful to scrub gently
and to keep your feet damp.
- Rinse your feet and pat dry. Apply an intensely moisturizing
foot creme, like Deep Steep Candy Mint Foot Cream, to deeply
hydrate your feet. Plus, this foot cream has a fun cooling
sensation!
- If you're having trouble with calluses on your heels, try using an
intense moisture stick, like Get Fresh's Poor Soles Moisture Stick. Especially
when you're on the go & then notice some dry spots on your feet,
this stick is a quick spot treatment for any dry skin. Toss
it in your purse for emergencies!
- Trim your toenails to the desired length, but make sure and finish
shaping them with a nail file. Rounding the corners slightly will
help you avoid ingrown toenails.
- Apply Orly Bonder Base Coat to your nails. This
rubberized basecoat entends the life of the polish and protects your
nails from discoloration. Allow base coat to dry thoroughly.
- Apply two coats of your favorite OPI Nail Lacquer. We suggest
one of the OPI Designer Series Colors. They're
bright & shimmery- perfect for summer! (Wanna see these
colors on our nails? We tried them on & posted pictures on our
blog. Click here to check 'em out!)
- Apply Zoya Armor Topcoat over dry polish as a
long-wearing, face drying top coat. Pedicures need to set quickly
when you're on the go, so this super-quick product is perfect!
- Show off your new pedi with the cutest shoes you can find! To
keep your pedicure fresh, reapply topcoat every 3-4 days and keep lotion
on your feet.
