It’s not even officially summer and temperatures are already hovering just below 100 degrees. Wow, it’s gonna be a hot one! Before you pack away your flats and pull out your flips, make sure that your feet are open-toe worthy by revamping your pedicure routine with our top five product picks for the perfect pedicure.
Start your tootsie makeover with a good soak to clean feet and soften skin. Cleanse your tired, pre-pedicure toes with Bidwell Botanical’s Cooling Foot Soak infused with peppermint and soothing mineral salts ($12, www.bidwellbotanicals.com). After your soak, it’s time to get rid of rough, unsightly calluses and dry skin. Remove the rough with Tweezerman’s 3 in 1 Pedicure Tool, which looks like a shaving razor, but has three interchangeable callous-busting tools including a callus shaver and two rasps to buff away dead skin ($15, www.tweezerman.com).
Preserve your newly callous-free heels with Beauty Feet moisturizer, an easy to use roll-on moisturizing solution. This cream stimulates cell renewal and protects skin from dryness and cracking and leaves feet silky smooth ($16, www.microbalanced.com). Next, slip on Pedisaver toeless socks before you polish to lock in moisture and separate your tootsies for a smudge-free polish. These new-age toe separators come in a variety of different colors and styles and are much more comfortable and fun you’re your old foam toe separators ($16, www.pedisavers.com).
The final step for sweet summer feet is a coat of OPI’s I’m India Mood for Love (pictured) on each newly treated toe. This brand new color is a burst of summery bright pink and is sure to attract some attention to your newly treated toes (about $8.50, www.opi.com). By the way, have you seen the new summer wedges and flats from Crocs (yes, those ugly clog-like things)? They’re insanely cute for a comfort shoe and have little circulation nubbiess to stimulate blood flow. Check them out at www.crocs.com. Heaven help me I just ordered three. Here’s to a great summer!
