Sandal Season is Here!

It’s that time of the year again – pedi season! As the temperatures rise and we start wearing sandals and open-toed shoes, it’s essential to have our feet looking their best. Here are some tips on how to get your pedis ready and keep your feet feeling and looking fabulous.

1. Exfoliate: Start by exfoliating your feet to remove any dry or dead skin. Use a foot scrub or a pumice stone to gently buff away rough patches. This will leave your feet feeling soft and smooth.

2. Moisturize: After exfoliating, it’s important to moisturize your feet to keep them hydrated. Use a thick foot cream or lotion and massage it into your feet, paying extra attention to the heels and any dry areas. Regular moisturizing will prevent cracked heels and keep your feet looking healthy.

3. Trim and shape your nails: Trim your toenails straight across and then use a file to shape them. Avoid cutting the corners too short to prevent ingrown toenails. If you prefer, you can also visit a professional nail salon for a pedicure to get your nails trimmed and shaped by a skilled technician.

4. Choose the right nail polish: When it comes to choosing a nail polish color, the options are endless. Opt for a shade that complements your skin tone or matches your outfit. Make sure to apply a base coat to protect your nails and a top coat to seal in the color and prevent chipping. Check out my favorite polish from Color Street!

5. Practice good foot hygiene: To maintain your pedis, it’s important to practice good foot hygiene. Wash your feet daily with warm water and mild soap, and dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes. Wear clean socks and change them regularly to prevent odor and bacterial growth.

6. Wear comfortable shoes: Avoid wearing shoes that are too tight or don’t provide enough support. Ill-fitting shoes can cause blisters, calluses, and other foot problems. Choose footwear that allows your toes to move freely and provides adequate cushioning and arch support.

7. Give your feet a break: If you spend long hours on your feet, give them a break whenever possible. Elevate your feet, stretch your calf muscles, and massage them to relieve any tension or fatigue. This will help improve circulation and prevent swelling.

Remember, taking care of your feet is not only about aesthetics but also about overall foot health. By following these tips and incorporating them into your regular foot care routine, you’ll be ready to show off your fabulous pedis all season long. So go ahead, pamper your feet and step into pedi season with confidence!
