Summer’s are all about beachy days, and star-lit nights. Dancing, exploring, adventuring- perhaps with some fuzzy moments in between. Unless you’re, like, normal or something and don’t have a memory trove full of hazy, trauma inducing summer memories. But, overall, if it’s warm and you’re outside:it can’t be all that bad. The thing about beachy days, though, is they require you to have that perfect ‘natural beachy glow’ look, from head-to-toe, literally.
I thought this week we’d focus on the importance of the self-care of the pedicure. Starting with the actual foot- I'm talking about exfoliation, scrubs, and lotions that bring out your inner Gisele. Why do our feet not get the TLC we give the rest of our body? Let the foot fetishists out there have their moment, too!
Below, a step-by-step process to loving and beautifying those little accessories Ariel gave up her voice for- how else are you to meet your metaphoric Prince Eric?
No good feet-care regimen starts without a strong exfoliant to get rid of all the calluses, dead skin, and coarseness that not even the ground wants to feel. Patchology Posh Peel Pedi Cure will remove any roughness and have you beach ready.
After, follow up with a gentle scrub to smooth away whatever else is left and give you that perfect prep and prime texture to proceed with your moisturizer. Feel free to use this foot scrubber or this Barbara Sturm Dry Brush to aid in your quest of foot domination. Revive your tired soles with our fave brown sugar scrub that smells divine and will get you silky smooth.
Now, finding the moisturizer that best suits your flipper dreams really depends on your scent preference, and consistency, but we recommend Samba Foot Fetish Cream because it reminds of us being on vacation and making bad (but fun) decisions.
After all this, channel your inner Charlotte and allow that sales associate to gift you free Manolos- you invested enough in them! You deserve it.
