- Thick lotion (shea butter or cocoa butter)
- Homemade foot soak (1 cup lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/2 cup milk, pinch of cinnamon)
- Callus scraper
Step1
Make sure that your feet are completely dry before you put on your shoes and socks. Moisture in your shoes is about the worst thing you can do to your feet, as it promotes the growth of calluses as well as fungus and bacteria. Whenever possible, wear sandals that allow your feet to breath. As you might have noticed, people who wear flip flops all year long also seem to have perfect, flawless feet and now you know why.
Step2
Coat your feet with a powdering of cornstarch if your feet tend to sweat during the day. The cornstarch will keep your feet dry and also helps to prevent blisters from forming, so this is a great trick when wearing in a new pair of shoes. If your socks and shoes do become wet for some reason, change them as soon as possible.
Step3
Apply a thick layer of heavy lotion, such as shea butter or cocoa butter to your feet and top off with clean socks. Not only does a self foot massage feel fabulous before hitting the hay, during the evening hours your feet will soak up the moisture and be soft in the morning.
Step4
Soak your feet two or three times a week in 1 cup of lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. of olive oil, 1/2 cup of milk and a pinch of cinnamon. Add enough warm water to cover your feet and soak for about 20 minutes. When finished, rinse your feet with warm water.
Step5
Use a callus scraper after soaking your feet to remove think, hard, dead skin. Use the scraper sparingly or you can end up with very tender feet. After scraping, apply lotion and cover with socks. If you follow this routine, in a few weeks you will have perfect, flawless feet.
