Some Easy Steps To Nourish Your Feet

Pedi, Set, Go!
You run every morning but don't want your feet to show it.Just follow few steps to pamper your feet.
Step 1: Fill the tub with a few inches of warm water and a capful of sea salts, a natural muscle relaxer. Or try Burt's Bees Therapeutic Bath Crystals. Soak your feet for five minutes to reduce swelling.
Step 2: Cut toenails straight across, then round the pointy edges with a file, to prevent ingrown nails.
Step 3: Using circular motions, scrub feet and calves with a skin polisher, like Sephora Body Super Foot Scrub, to remove dead cells.
Step 4: Instead of shaving off calluses completely -- exercisers need them as protective padding -- apply a callus softener that is packed with nonabrasive chemical exfoliators, like alpha hydroxy acids, on the bottom of each foot. After a few minutes, rub soles with a file until smooth to the touch.
Step 5: Rinse feet, pat dry, and apply cuticle oil to prevent hangnails. Then layer on a moisturizer made with super-emollient petrolatum.


Top Coats
Be bold. These colors are bright, versatile, and ultra-fun to wear.
Green day: Rich jewel tones will resist flaking if you swipe an extra thin dab of the polish on just the tips of your nails.
Orange you glad? For a low-key look, try a poppy shade.

Rock star: Prevent polishes from clumping by letting each coat dry for two minutes before swiping on another layer.
Purple power: Add a layer of shiny topcoat to keep vivid shades for looking sophisticated. Bonus: This polish is scented, so you'll get whiffs of yummy grape soda.
