Put your best foot forward this Christmas.
The festive season is upon us which means endless parties, standing in Christmas shopping queues, and a whole lot more fun where that came from. Now’s the time to give your feet a little extra care and attention.
Here are five tips to ensure you start the party season off on the right (perfectly pedicured) foot.
1. Soak in warm water
Before you go to bed at night, soak your feet for 10-15 minutes in a basin warm water. Bubble bath or soap can be added if you wish – for best results add a handful of Epsom salts.
2. Say goodbye to hard skin
After soaking, use a clean towel to dry off soles throughly before using a pumice stone/foot file to remove dry or loose skin.
Or to really give your feet the TLC they deserve, why not invest in a Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi. Just gently rotate the file over hard skin and watch the dead skin disappear.
3. Moisturise and massage
When this is done, get cosy into a comfy chair and prepare to give yourself a foot massage. Place one leg crossed over the top of the other so that the sole of your foot is facing you.
Grab a moisturising cream and you are ready to begin the massaging. Using your thumbs as your massaging tools, massage from the bottom of your heel in a circular motion. Concentrate kneading on one small area at a time, gradually working your way up to your toes.
Just like your back, feet too can fall victim to knots and areas that feel ‘crystallised’, which according to reflexologists can directly relate to stress and anxiety. Rub until this part of the foot feels soft and supple.
4. It’s filing time
Take your emery board and file your nails down (always use one stroke motion – filing over and back can cause damage the nail).
To get the best results, invest in a Scholl Electronic Nail Filing System, an electric nail file with three different heads for filing, budding and polishing nails.
File your nails into your desired shape, then buff to smooth the nail surface, before finally using the shine head to polish in a circular motion.
5. Polish it off
Select your favourite colour and it is time to get to work with the nail polish. Remember, always use a base and top coat to get the best results.
