Finally, it’s hot enough to rock those fierce Giuseppe Zanotti sandals! Now make sure your feet do them justice. Here, we have tips from Skyy Hadley of New Jersey’s As U Wish Nail Spa on how to score pretty feet this summer. 1.) To hydrate dry, flaky feet, soak them in water spiked with milk. “Adding milk is a crucial step, as water can strip skin of moisture,” says Hadley. “Milk is also a natural exfoliator.” 2.) Cuticle-shaping isn’t just for fingernails! After you’ve soaked your feet for a few minutes, apply a rich lotion (we like
Origin Reinventing The Heel, $20), and gently push back cuticles with a Q-Tip. “Don’t cut them,” she says. “Cutting them creates more hangnails and can cause infection.” 3.) Buff away rough spots, callouses and corns with a good exfoliator like
C. Booth Peppermint Foot Scrub ($4). “To really smooth things over, use a diamond file on particularly rough patches like the heel and ball of the foot,” says Hadley. 4.) Twice a month, give thirsty feet a moisture-surge with an overnight treatment. “Massage in a light oil or Vaseline at night,” she says. “Then, put socks on so the skin can absorb the formula even deeper.”
