Pedicure Essentials


Warm weather means sandals, bare feet and regular pedicures.

Remove dry skin and calluses. Soak feet in warm water for at least five minutes, then wet a pumice stone or foot file and rub feet using a back-and-forth motion. Don’t be tempted to use a callus shaver for immediate satisfaction. It can remove too much skin and lead to infection.

Moisturize. Apply an emollient-rich foot cream with shea butter to seal in moisture or alpha-hydroxy acid (aha) for extra smoothness and exfoliation.

Add color.
Apply base coat, two coats of polish (the season’s must-haves are bright, hot colors like orange, tangerine, melon and coral) and top with sealer from base to over edge.
