Want to say goodbye to cracked heels, rough skin, and brittle nails forever? Take our tips to heart and turn foot care into a simple, quick, and truly effective beauty routine.
1. Take care of your nails with a specialized oil
This product can completely transform the appearance of your nails! Nail professionals always recommend using cuticle oils, but specialized oils for the nails themselves are just as important for their health and beauty. For an extra boost, combine them with tea tree oil — a natural antiseptic that protects nails, strengthens them, and adds shine, leaving them healthy and well-groomed.
2. Always use a base coat
Sometimes it’s tempting to apply colored polish directly to your nails, skipping important steps. However, always remember to use a base coat before a pedicure. Applying polish directly to bare nails can cause staining and yellowing. In addition, without a base coat, nails become more fragile and prone to splitting, increasing the risk of unwanted issues, including fungal infections.
3. Nails need a break sometimes
Even the most long-lasting nail polish shouldn’t be worn without breaks. Your toenails need occasional “rest” to maintain their strength and health, preventing brittleness, splitting, and thinning of the nail plate.
4. Use a Foot Cream
A specialized foot cream is the perfect way to pamper your feet. It deeply nourishes and softens the skin, relieves fatigue, and leaves your feet feeling light and refreshed. Products containing urea are especially effective, thanks to its outstanding moisturizing properties.
5. Use the Right Nail File
Forget about metal files—they can seriously damage the skin. The safest option is a soft, gentle file that cares for your feet without causing harm. It’s best to file your heels only when the skin is dry; doing it on wet skin can remove too much and may be painful or uncomfortable.
6. Hydration Inside and Out
Drink plenty of water and regularly use a moisturizer — this helps protect your skin and counteract the harmful effects of hard water.
7. Use Exfoliating Socks
Don’t be alarmed if your skin starts peeling after using exfoliating socks — this is completely normal and exactly how they work. The key is to follow the instructions carefully and not leave the socks on for longer than the recommended time.
8. Proper Nail Trimming
You can trim your nails either when they are wet or dry — choose whichever is more comfortable for you. However, avoid trimming immediately after a shower, as the nail plate is too soft at that time and can break easily. Always thoroughly disinfect your clippers or scissors before use.
When choosing a nail shape, follow the natural contour of your fingers — this will ensure the most harmonious result. It’s very important not to cut the nail “too close” to avoid pain and the risk of infection.
