7 simple steps and best luxury products to get feet sandal ready

1. file your nails

You can instantly make toenails appear professionally groomed by filing them straight across. The best tool to use? A Crystal Nail File ($16.50) like this one from Nail Tek. Not only do crystal files last longer than emery boards but they are gentler too, helping to promote healthy nail growth with less chipping and breakage.

2. soak your feet

There’s nothing better than a good soak after a long day, right? Treat your feet the same. Fill a bowl or bath with warm water and Odacité’s Soul Soothing Relaxing Bath Soak ($28). In addition to being infused with calming notes of lavender, neroli and patchouli, the epsom salts have antifungal and anti-microbial properties, which is ideal for cleaning and soothing your feet.

3. say goodbye to callouses

If your feet have calluses, post soak is the ideal time to remove them when the skin has been softened. Dry your feet and gently use a file like Deborah Lippmann’s Soul Survivor High Performance Foot File ($45). Be careful not to overdo it and stop if you feel any irritation or discomfort.

4. don’t forget a scrub

Follow up with a scrub to exfoliate away any dead skin that sits superficially on the foot and lower leg. This will bring dull, dry skin back to life and reach areas that your foot file couldn’t reach. Our pick is OSEA’s ultra hydrating Salts of the Earth Body Scrub ($48) for a silky smooth finish.

5. hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

After your feet are fully exfoliated, rinse and moisturize with a non-greasy lotion. You don’t want to slip, right? Foot creams like L’Occitane’s Shea Butter Foot Cream ($30) are generally made with richer, heavier occlusive emollients like shea butter to prevent fissures and cracks in the soles of the feet as a result of dehydration.

6. swipe on some polish

We can all attest to the transformative power of color on our fingernails and it is no different for feet. Apply a fresh coat of polish and glossy top coat instantly for glowing skin. We love Zoya’s cheerful pink Lola ($12) for the season ahead.

BUY NOW – $12.00.

7. finish with some cuticle oil

Put the finishing touches on your work with Tenoverten’s 100% natural The Rose Oil Nourishing Cuticle Oil ($39). Applying cuticle oil regularly not only keeps cuticles hydrated but can also help nails stay hydrated too, which is an essential step in preventing chipping.
