Skin Care - DIY Pedicure

Sandal season is upon us and there's nothing worse

than 

dry, cracked, fugly feet

peaking out of your 

pretty summer shoes.

You don't need to head to a spa or a salon

to get your 

feet looking pretty.

The 

Australian Beauty

girls 

have some 

DIY Pedicure tips for you. 

It'll take about 1/2 an hour.

You'll need:

Nail Polish Remover

Cotton Pads

Foot File

Toe Nail Clippers

Epsom Salts

Lavender Oil

Warm Water

1 cup salt or sugar

Clear Base Coat Polish

Nail Polish (optional)

Clear Top Coat

A Large Bowl

2 Towels

1.  Remove your old polish using a cotton pad.

Tissues disolve and cotton balls leave fuzzies.

2. Gently file away any hard, crusty (ew) skin.

DO NOT use any foot shaving devices.

Avon has a fantastic, cheap foot file in it's 

FOOTWORKS

range.

3. Clip and file your nails.

Using toe nail clippers, trim your nails straight across to prevent ingrown toenails.

Avoid cutting too short or too deep.

Push cuticles back with an orange stick.

4.  Soak your feet.

For best results, 

add some Epsom salts and a few drops of lavender essential oil to

a bowl of warm water.  

5.  Exfoliate.

Grab a cup of salt or sugar and scrub all over your feet.

Rinse.

6.  Moisturise.

There's a myriad of products on the market

and the cheapies work just as well as more

expensive products.

Rub it in well.

7.  Polish.

Apply a clear base coat to prevent colour staining your nails.

Add 2 layers 

of your favourite colour lacquer.

Apply a top coat.

8.  Grab a magazine and LET THEM DRY! 

Then throw on your favourite shoes 

and 

show off your pretty feet!

(AB girls guilty of that too)

OUCH!

She still loves to sport a golden glow but now opts for Invisible Zinc's Jet Set Tan 

and uses sunscreen daily.

Invisible Zinc Products

use only one active ingredient - zinc oxide -

a mineral reflector found in nature

to create a physical, reflective veil on the surface of your skin.

With summer just around the corner don't forget to slather yourself in buckets of sunscreen!
