After wool socks and heavy boots, we have anything but beautiful feet. To make them fit for spring, they need attention and care. We tell you how to get beautiful velvet paws the fastest.
They are not really that attractive. But in fact they do us a huge service. Feet tow us not only through our everyday lives. You balance our winter flab as well as our bikini figure. Carry us light-footed and sometimes melancholy. For us the of course.
In fact, feet do not get the attention they deserve. And need. We neglect them almost criminally. Especially in the winter months. Half a year our feet slumber in thick socks in front of him. And drag us in heavy boots through the area. Are reduced only to their practical use.
They need almost as much care as our hair, nails or face. Since there are no sebaceous glands on the soles, feet quickly become dry. We get cracks and calluses if we don't care for them regularly. This not only looks unsightly, but can even lead to inflammation.
And now is also the time. The thick winter boots must slowly make way for airy footwear. And we realize the extent of our Ignorance aware. We are not one bit ready for Spring or Sandals. No soul must ever see our feet in this condition.
But before you stumble to the foot care, briefly paused! With a little attention and love, you get it done alone! We show you how to get beautiful feet that are ready for spring.
Beautiful feet in 5 steps
All you need is a little time. Actually, the perfect opportunity for a wellness afternoon. :)
Beautiful feet through soothing salt baths
Foot baths are a Benefit. Not only for battered feet. Also for our body and mind. They crank up the blood circulation and thus strengthen our Immune system. Also, they look creepy relaxing. Reason enough to allow ourselves this little time out once a week.
In foot care foot baths have a important Task. They soften the nails and calluses. This makes it easier to work on the feet afterwards. Especially if we are the Callus want to go for the collar. Those who omit this step risk nasty injuries.
There are many different types of footbaths. We recommend you a warm foot bath at a maximum of 41 degrees. Salt crystals and essential oils are wonderful additives for beautiful feet. They care for stressed feet and have a vitalizing effect.
Put your feet in the bathtub or a large bucket and lay out a towel. If you want to really switch off, light candles and put on some relaxing music. Set a timer, don't forget. You should send your feet on a dive for between 10 and 20 minutes.
Then you need to dry your feet well. Especially between the toes. Otherwise there is a risk of fungus forming there. As beneficial as the foot bath is, do not overdo it. Once a week is enough. Otherwise you will be putting too much strain on your feet.
Declare war on the cornea
Calluses are really not pretty. However, it has a very important function. It protects sensitive areas from pressure and friction. It occurs mainly on the ball of the foot or on the heels.
The reason for the thick skin layer can be wrong shoes. Too high, too tight shoes or too hard heels. Who also never his feet creams, gets more calluses. Dry feet become very sensitive. So the feet want to move through the dense layers of skin only protect.
So we vow to do better. Will wear light sandals and regularly cream our feet. Nevertheless, first of all the callus must give way. It makes beautiful feet look unkempt.
There are several ways to remove calluses. Gentle are foot arrows. For somewhat coarser minds, there are electric callus removers and rasps. If you have cracked feet, it is better to seek professional foot care. Otherwise you risk injury.
We recommend you foot arrows. Just make sure that your feet are properly dry. Then you can get started. Use the coarser side to gently remove the corneal layer. The risk of injury is quite low. As long as you do not scrub for your life :D
Homemade scrub for beautiful feet
After the treatment with the foot arrow, rinse your feet again with warm water. And carefully pat them dry. Give your feet a nice peeling. You can easily do this at home. You only need a few ingredients. These are our favorites:
Peeling for beautiful feet with olive oil and lemon
Mix 1 tbsp sugar with 2 tbsp olive oil. Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Instead of olive oil you can also use Almond oil* use. Apply the mixture to your feet and massage in gently. Rinse off and you're done! :)
Soft beautiful feet with avocado scrub
You will need 3 tablespoons of a ripe Avocado. Crush them in a bowl. For this you mix 3 tbsp. Sea salt. If you don't have avocado on hand, you can also use Honey use. Both have a similar effect. Then wash off carefully.
Beautiful feet thanks to well-groomed nails
The pedicure is the highlight of any foot care. Finally, it's time for the finishing touches! Before you start, you should be sure that there are no remnants of old nail polish, scrub or cream on the toes. This will cause the new one to peel off quickly.
The pedicure works best when your feet are still soft and warm from the foot bath. First, take a rosewood stick and gently pull the cuticle back. Never cut the cuticles! This can inflame nasty!
As a rule, the nails should be cut straight. Whether with a clipper or nail scissors does not matter. Then you should carefully round them off a little. This will prevent the nail from tearing.
This spring, by the way, women wear earth tones on their toes. Gray, beige and sandy colors are too boring for you? Coral or strong summer tones are also a great eye-catcher for beautiful feet. With a top coat, the colors last even longer!
Our Tip:
Spring is here! You should definitely walk barefoot more often. This will prevent sweaty feet and calluses. In addition, the blood circulation is stimulated. This makes you more resistant and supports the immune system. In addition, barefoot running is simply wonderful!
Our conclusion:
Feel free to take a look at your feet. At some point they will appear anyway. If you regularly take the time and give them the attention they deserve, you will be rewarded with beautiful feet. Daily creaming and a nice nail polish do the rest. So let's go into spring with well-groomed and beautiful feet!
