2. Ways to clean feet :


 - Remove nail polish.


 - Add a spoon of crystal salt and liquid shampoo to a tub of warm water. Soak your feet in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes. While doing this you could relax with a book or enjoy some good music.


 - Pat dry your feet with a clean towel and cut the nails and shape your nails the way you want.


 - File the toe nails with nail filer.

 - Push the cuticle with the cuticle stick or orange stick.


 - After this, gently massage your feet with a scrub. Make your scrub by combining 1 tablespoon olive oil with 1 tablespoon raw sugar, chickpea flour (besan) or oatmeal. Soak hand towels in hot water and wrap them around the feet to seal moisture.


 - Now, use a pumice stone to exfoliate dead skin from the heels. Pour a few drops of liquid soap on to a foot brush/scrubber and rub on the heel until they are thoroughly clean.

 - Now wash your feet with clean water and pat dry your feet.


 - Gently massage your feet with a moisturising lotion.


 - As a finishing touch to the pedicure, apply your favourite nail colour on the toe nails and allow them to dry.

3. Daily maintenance :


 - Do clean your feet with a foot brush daily.


 - Change your scrubber/foot brush at least once in two months. Also do not share your foot brush with anybody to avoid bacteria buildup.


 - Give your feet a moisturising massage daily after bath and before you go to bed at night.


 - If you have a feet that are more prone to cracks, then do apply a medicated cream and sleep with socks on.
