When someone asks you about your idea of a good self-pampering sesh, everything from a calming sheet mask to a nourishing hair spa will come to your mind. But have you ever considered that your feet need an equal amount of care and nurturing, if not more.
Showing your feet some TLC has a lot of benefits. Apart from making you feel extremely relaxed, it helps treat cracked heels, dryness and also helps improve the health of your toenails. Sounds awesome, doesn’t it?
Below, we’ve rounded up some awesome ways by which you can pamper your feet and make them soft and supple.
- Get yourself a pedicure
- Give it a nice scrub
- Use a foot mask
- Apply a moisturiser each night
- Wear socks as often as you can
Get yourself a pedicure
A pedicure is one of the best and most relaxing things you could indulge in. The filing of your nails, soaking and scrubbing off dead skin is a great way to give your feet the love and care it deserves. Besides, who does not like having their toenails painted in pretty colours?
Give it a nice scrub
All of us have phases where spending a few hours getting a pedicure done seems absolutely absurd. So, what’s a girl to do then? Well, a great way to ensure that your feet stay soft and supple is to scrub them once a week. This will eliminate dead skin cells and keep your feet super soft and nourished, even when you don’t have time for a full-fledged manicure.
Use a foot mask
A foot mask is like food for your feet. It provides the nourishment your feet needs in order to keep them soft and supple. But, you don’t need to spend a bomb on a foot mask; you can easily make your own with ingredients available in your kitchen using one of these recipes.
Apply a moisturiser each night
One of the best ways to nourish your feet on an everyday basis is by applying a rich, moisturising body lotion to your feet each night before bed. While applying this lotion, ensure that you massage your feet to improve blood circulation in the area. After this, simply wear a pair of socks and go to sleep. Be prepared to wake up to soft and supple skin the next morning.
Wear socks as often as you can
Your feet obviously go through a lot on a daily basis. This problem worsens when you wear open-toed footwear. While your choice of footwear totally depends on you, we highly recommend that you wear socks as often as possible, especially during a commute. This will prevent your feet from environmental damage and keep them thoroughly conditioned.
