Whether you realise it or not, your feet are under constant scrutiny. When you meet someone for the first time, their eyes travel from your head to toe, quickly appraising your appearance. And as the saying goes “First impression is the best impression’’. No matter how well dressed and sophisticated you might appear, if your feet are not maintained and look bad, all your effort would have been in vain. So making sure your feet look their best at all times is of utmost importance.

Here’s an easy routine that you can follow to keep your feet looking pretty.
Take Time to Clean Your Feet in the Shower
Make it a point to take a few minutes to thoroughly clean your feet while in the shower. Start with using a loofah to scrub your feet, making sure to scrub every nook and cranny. The next step is to use a foot file to get rid of any dead skin on the soles of your feet. Be firm but not rough, and file each feet till you feel the skin on your feet is smooth. Once that is done use a nail cleaning brush or an old tooth brush to brush the toe nails. Make sure you brush under your toe nails as well to get rid of any dirt.

Indulge in a Foot Spa at Home
After a tiring day at work indulge in a foot spa session at home to revive your body. Our feet contain a lot of nerve endings that, when stimulated, will result in better blood circulation and will also benefit our overall health. This is why a foot massage is the quickest way to relax you. Simply fill a bucket with warm water, add some soothing bath salt to it and soak your feet in it. If you do not have bath salts at home you can just add a few drops of your body wash, the juice of half a lemon and a few drops of glycerine to soften your feet. Soak your feet for fifteen minutes or so.
