Pretty Pedi

Don’t let your feet go astray for the fall and winter seasons. We know, we know- you won’t be sporting your flip-flops and strappy stilettos anyway, so why not, right? Not so fast. What about untimely situations when your safe closed-toe shoes and socks have to come off. Not so pretty, right.

Follow these 7 simple steps for an easy do-it-yourself at-home pedicure to avoid those embarrassing moments and maintain your feet in-between spa visits:

Prep: Clip toenails down to desired length. Now, with a nail file, file each toenail straight across to eliminate rough edges.

Soak: Place your feet in a basin of warm water. Add a few scoops of bath soak to the water to soften the skin on your feet. We suggest Aqua Pure Skin’s Luxury Rose Petal Soak, this will not only soften the skin, but sooth aches.

Soften: Apply cuticle softener to your toenails and then gently push your cuticles back using an orangewood stick. If you don’t have cuticle softener on-hand just allow your feet to soak a little longer, this will do the trick. Use a cuticle nipper ONLY to nip away hang nails (do not tug at the hang nail, instead clip at the base of the source).

Smooth: Use a pumice stone to buff away any dead skin on your soles. Focus on the heels and balls of your feet. For an added treat, apply a foot scrub (or body scrub) to your feet to exfoliate any additional dead skin. Soak your feet to remove residue. For your scrub, we recommend Aqua Pure Skin’s Body Scrub, a blend of natural skin softening extracts and Dead Sea salt.

Pamper: Massage your feet with a rich foot cream or body butter. For a natural approach use Aqua Pure Skin’s Body Butter for ultra rich moisture infused with natural humectants.

Polish: Now get ready to polish. Remove access oils and lotions from your nail-bed with nail polish remover. Apply a base coat to your toenails and then add two coats of your choice of nail polish. Top it all off with a shiny clear topcoat.

Finish: Once your polish is completely dry, apply Aqua Pure Skin’s Cuticle Balm with natural lemon grass extracts around your cuticles to heal and protect against fungus.
