Feet can often be forgotten about when it
comes to a daily beauty regime, but when you think about it maybe they
need the most care. After being squished into pointy toed shoes and
balancing on impossibly high heels during the party season, maybe it’s
time they received a little bit of love.
The Upcoming has three top tips for you to treat your toes and get pretty party feet in time for your next night out. 
Soak
The cheapest and easiest way to revive
tired toes is to soak them in a bowl of warm water with peppermint oil
or sea salt. Peppermint oil will help revive your feet by improving
circulation, making them feel instantly less weary. After your 10-20
minute soak, towel dry and massage in a rich moisturiser – with added
peppermint is ideal – and allow it to absorb, and then wrap in a pair of
socks to aid moisturising. Not only will your feet be super soft and
feel revived, but they will also smell minty fresh!
Scrub
Exfoliating your feet is a great way to
get rid of dry and dead skin. A coarse scrub is best to get rid of hard
skin, or you can try making your own with sea salt, honey and your
favourite scented oil. If you don’t have these
ingredients to hand, try using olive oil which is a great moisturiser
too. Massage into your feet and wrap them in a warm, damp towel and lay
with them on a pillow – elevating them to improve blood circulation –
for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
Soothe
Moisturising is the key to soft feet and
the best time to do it is through the night, or after a shower or bath
when your skin is softer. Just before bedtime, lather your feet in a
moisturiser with shea butter, cocoa butter or nut oils and pop on a pair
of cotton socks. In the morning your feet will feel noticeably softer.
