Summer is coming, which means that sandal season is on its way! Many of us have neglected our feet during the winter months because we figure, "they're covered...who is going to see them?"...Just because your feet are not showing in the winter months does not mean you can skip the pedicures. Pedicures are recommended every 4 weeks or so, depending on the condition of your feet. Also, getting a pedicure once a month does not automatically make your feet smooth and keep them smooth...home maintenance is recommended for best results. The first tip is to exfoliate. Check back often for tips!Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!!! Our favorite tool for the past 18 years is Sof' Feet's Callous Smoother. It had a clear plastic wand with a screen (looks like a window screen or drywall sanding screen) on one end. It is very sanitary because the screens can be replaced after each use, therefore, you also get the same abrasiveness each time. Just use it for no more than a minute on each foot before getting in the shower and bath. Depending on how dry, calloused, or cracked your heels are do this at least once every other day (everyday if they need a lot of work). Be sure NOT to overdo it because it can make your feet tender.In addition to using a tool such as a Sof' Feet Callous Smoother, we also use scrubs, which can also be used all over the body as well. We use Arbonne's SeaSource Detox Spa Foaming Sea Salt Scrub with pedicures. This scrub is great for the shower because it's not oily, so you won't slip in the shower. Arbonne also has an Awaken Sea Salt Scrub which has avocado and safflower oils. Caution should be taken though when using in shower, to avoid slipping. Many people like to use this scrub to shave their legs. While both scrubs work well, my personal preference is the SeaSource scrub because I love the way it smells. You can find these scrubs here. www.spatreats2u.myarbonne.com. Stay tuned for tip #2 NEVER shave or cut the skin off your feet! It is illegal in IL and many other states for salons to use razors (AKA Credo blades) to shave the skin off the feet. The skin on the soles of your feet and palms of your hands are thicker for protection. Callouses are formed on the bottoms of your feet due to friction. Heels get dry and cracked with you don't moisturize them. Athlete's foot can also cause dry cracked heels. Shaving or cutting away the skin does not solve the problem. It's really just a temporary solution. When you are getting a pedicure and they use a razor, they have to soak your feet first, to make it easier to shave off the skin, the problem is when your skin is wet, it can be hard to determine what is dead skin and what is live skin, and they end up cutting off live skin as well. (ONLY licensed physicians are licensed to but LIVE skin). Sure your feet feel nice and soft right after they shave the dead skin off, but as soon as you start walking, the callouses will form again and even more because they just shaved off your feet's protection. When you use a callous smoother (or pumice or foot file), you are only removing dead skin cells, and when done gradually over time, you will have smoother feet. If you do get pedicures, you should still maintain the exfoliation at home. One pedicure a month will not keep your feet smooth. ...read more
