Get Your Feet Ready for
Sandal Weather

After a long winter of wearing heavy shoes and boots, your feet likely need a little TLC before you sport those cute new sandals.

Start by soaking your feet in a tub of warm water, using a hydrating scrub, such as L'Occitane Almond Exfoliating Delicious Paste to soften rough patches. If you are in the habit of doing your own pedicures, you may want to invest in a kit such as the Tweezerman Pedicure Solution Kit, which has everything you need to take care of nails, cuticles and calluses.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! A rich, luxurious cream such as Barielle Total Foot Care Cream will soften skin and help prevent calluses. Be sure to pay special attention to the cuticles.

Make sure your feet are completely dry and clean any leftover cream from your nails with a cotton ball soaked in polish remover. Now you're ready for the finishing touch. SpaRitual nail lacquers are free of DBP, formaldehyde and tolune. Need some relief after a long day on your feet? Treat yourself to June Jacobs Peppermint Moisturizing Foot Mist.
