Ready to slip into sandals and flip-flops? This proven step-by-step pedicure routine will transform your feet, banishing winter roughness for smooth, show-ready results.
Begin by gently removing any remaining nail polish from your toenails with a quality remover to start with a clean canvas.
Fill a basin with lukewarm water—avoid hot water, which can dry out skin. Add a few drops of oil and soak for 10 minutes. Gently scrub your feet, focusing on heels and ankles.

Softened by the bath, calluses are now easier to tackle. Use a foot file or pumice stone carefully—remove just enough to smooth, avoiding pain when walking.
Clip or file toenails straight across to prevent ingrown issues. Gently push back cuticles with a cuticle pusher for a polished look.
Apply a generous layer of rich foot cream. For best results, do this in the evening and slip on cotton socks overnight to lock in hydration.
Finish with your favorite nail polish shade—a vibrant hue instantly elevates your feet for summer confidence.
