Wrap your lower legs and feet in plastic and allow the oil to absorb for 15 minutes. If you feel like a real pampering, have a towel warming in the clothes dryer and wrap it around your feet over your socks while you relax.
Painted nails Remove oil from nails with a little nail polish remover Apply a base coat Apply two coats of color letting each coat dry before applying the next. Start by applying a stroke of nail polish along the centre of the nail from base to tip, then along each side of the nail. Apply the nail polish quickly with long light strokes. Finish with a top coat to prevent chipping
Give yourself a pedicure while watching your favorite TV show!
Soak your feet regularly Avoid backless shoes Give your nails a breather from nail polish every now and then For really cracked dry skin soak your feet in warm olive oil for 20 minutes Pumice, moisturize and wear socks over your moisturizer to bed
