It’s finally that time of the year when we get to pack away our winter woollies and enjoy some lighter clothing. If your feet have been hiding in boots and sneakers all winter, chances are they’re in need of some TLC before you’ll be ready to slip on your favourite sandals.
The cold air dries out our skin during winter, and it’s normal for our heels and feet to get dry – and sometimes even cracked. Feet are often times neglected, especially during the colder months, so it’s no surprise that they need a little maintenance when summer rolls around. Luckily there are some simple steps you can incorporate in your daily body care routine to hydrate and nourish your feet back to perfection.
Wondering how to get your feet sandal-ready without a lot of fuss? Follow these easy steps and enjoy summer-ready feet in no time.
Give them a good scrub
Exfoliation is the key to removing dry and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, allowing healthy new skin cells to take their place. Giving your feet a good scrub a couple of times per week improves circulation, removes dry and rough patches, improves the skin’s texture and allows the products you apply to penetrate skin better.
Try Citrusway Exfoliating Sugar Foot Scrub. Formulated to exfoliate, hydrate, soften and smooth your skin whilst cleansing and removing dead skin cells, this multi-functional sugar scrub can be used on the feet, as well as the body and hands, helping to create a relaxing experience by relieving tension and increasing blood circulation.
Buff away
If you have hard or dry patches, use a foot file to buff away the hard skin. While it may require a little bit of elbow grease, it’s important to be gentle and not overdo it. Focus on hardened skin only and don’t be too vigorous, or you may end up with redness and irritation.
Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise
To restore moisture and keep it locked in, you have to apply a good quality foot moisturiser daily. The skin on our feet is thicker than some of the other parts of our body, so it needs a moisturiser with a rich formula. Apply after every shower, or if you don’t like the feeling of moisturiser on your feet during the day, apply it before going to bed.
Try Citrusway Foot Restoration Cream, which has antibacterial properties for a moisture-rich solution that helps soften dry, cracked heels and feet while rejuvenating the skin.
Treat your feet to a detoxifying foot mask
Applying a foot mask once or twice a week will help fast track your way to healthier, prettier feet. Choose a formula that extracts toxins and impurities as this will help keep your feet fresh and healthy.
Try Citrusway Bentonite Clay Foot Mask, which is specially formulated to extract toxins and impurities, exfoliate, and soften skin for healthy, revitalised feet.
Refresh throughout the day
For added moisture and a cool, refreshing boost, keep a foot spray on-hand that you can spray directly onto the skin. Not only does it help the skin cool down and feel refreshed on hot days, but it also adds additional moisture, making it a great option for very dry feet.
Don’t forget UV protection
When it comes to sun protection, we are prone to forgetting about some areas of the body like the ears, behind the knees and the feet. In addition to the risk of getting a sunburn and damaged skin, exposure to UV rays can also leave one with a dreaded sandal tan, which may work with one pair of sandals, but not another! When you apply SPF in the morning, be sure to apply to your feet as well, and reapply throughout the day if you’re spending an extended amount of time outdoors.
Incorporate these simple steps into your body care regime and enjoy healthier, softer and moisturised feet – and wear your pretty summer sandals with confidence!
