Liberation of the Feet
As winter melts itself away and warm weather forces creatures out of hibernation, so too must your feet be unshackled from wool socks and winter boots. The Spring and Summer seasons are a time to be free, but not everyone feels comfortable baring their soles once sunny weather requires open-toe shoes. Whether you want to strut around in strappy heels or stroll in some cute sandals, kick the Ugly Feet Insecurity Syndrome by following these steps to cure foot flaws and get ready to put your best foot forward.
Soak
Relax your feet (and mind) by dipping your toes into a warm foot spa or bath for a few minutes to prepare them for the beautifying process.
Exfoliate
Revitalize deadened skin with The Body Shop’s Peppermint Pumice Foot Scrub. It packs a powerful punch against foot forces of evil - roughened, dead skin and odor.
Smooth
For an ultimate finishing touch to already tender tootsies, smooth over Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Crème from heel to toe. The crème is 99.3% natural, containing coconut oil with emollient qualities, oat protein and peppermint oil.
Beautify
Find your favorite nail color to adorn your toe nails, then slip your feet into that pair of sandals or heels you’ve been eyeing in anticipation and finally show them off!
