How to keep your feet happy?

We tend to take a lot of care of our face, but a few body parts are kept ignored, and our feet are one of those. In fact, these are part of our body which should be pampered and cared. Like our face and other parts, feet also need a special attention. All this can take just a few minutes every day but can feel great.

• Use a mild soap or a mild shampoo for cleaning
• Dry them carefully between the difficult areas

Our feet bear much than we expect. Rough shoes and slippers can harm your feet. To keep our feet happy, we can also visit a salon or a spa for gentle care and cleaning. A pedicure once a month will result in beautiful and soft feet.

Why should we care?

Most of the time we wear wrong shoes, because they match our outfit. This can have wrong results in a long time like in cracked feet, corns or ingrown toenails.

A pedicure can solve all this for you.
