summer feet

Its time to start your pedicures, soak your feet in warm water with epsom salts for about 15 minutes (use a small nail brush and scrub under your nails, its a great place for fungus and bactaria to grow, so keep them clean). Always remember be gentle when removing your dry skin on your feet (with pumices and foot files). You want to smooth, not remove. Our calluses are there to protect our pressure points on our feet, if we remove these, it can hurt. Make sure you file your nails straight across (if you take the corners off you’re opening yourself up to ingrown toe nails). Using a cuticle pusher or orange stick, gently push your cuticles back (leave it till next time if it does'nt want to budge and never cut your cuticles as it can open them up to infection and also make them bleed).
