Things You'll Need:
- Small tub large enough for feet
- Pumice stone
- Gritty foot scrub
- Moisturizing lotion
- Toenail polish
-
Step 1
Soak feet in warm water. First, the skin on your feet must be soft and easy to manage. Soaking your feet with help to loosen calluses and dry skin. Keep your feet in this water for at least five minutes.
-
Step 2
Buff your feet with your pumice stone. Pay special attention to your heels, the outer side of your pinkie toe, and the outer side of your big toe. These tend to be particularly rough and hard areas. While you buff, dip your foot periodically into the water.
-
Step 3
Dry your feet for about 10 minutes and soak again. You want to penetrate your skin with the water. The rough areas will be much better at this point, but still rougher than you want for a finished product.
-
Step 4
Scrub your entire foot with a gritty foot scrub. Some scrubs wash with tangerine peels, while others have crystallized beads. This scrub will help remove all the dry skin and rough patches that still remain on your feet.
-
Step 5
Dry your feet and moisturize with your favorite quality moisturizer. Rub and massage the lotion deep into your skin. Pay particular attention to your callus-prone areas.
-
Step 6
Paint your toenails. A good pedicure simply is not complete without beautifully painted toenails. Be sure to paint your toenails a neutral color, or one that will match many outfits in your wardrobe. Subtle colors work best.
