[tps_header]This is right around the time of year that you start to realize that you’re not exactly sure the last time your toes actually<\/em> last saw the light of day? Well with summer knocking down our door it won’t be long yet and there is no better time than now to start prepping for flip flop season! We’re here to tell you how to do it without the expensive trip to the spa.[\/tps_header]<\/p>\n

Give them a soak\"06418\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether they were freezing inside of a pair of Sorels or sweating inside of a pair of Roots Cabin Socks, your feet have worked hard this winter. Let them out of their holdings and start their pampering with a good soak. Try LUSH’s Foot Soak and Fancy Free<\/a> ($7) for a deliciously soothing soak that will help soften your skin with the help of epsom, sea salt, and Irish moss powder.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Clip \u02dcem right<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"SHBTCLIP_80510_TYT_ANGL1900\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The right time to clip your nails is after a good soak, when they are at their softest. But the real trick is know the right way<\/em> to clip them. Using a pair of good clippers\u201d<\/strong>we love Sally Hansen’s Treat Your Toes Control Toenail Clippers<\/a> ($tk, available at mass drugstores)\u201dand cut straight across your toenail. Avoid trying to round the edges of your toenails as it can cause ingrown toenails. Blech.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scrub down\"sandal-season-\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get rid of all that rough excess skin that’s been hibernating all winter by starting a good daily routine of gently exfoliating your feet. Rotate between a good scrub, like Bliss Foot Patrol<\/a> ($19) and a good pumice stone, like The Body Shop No More Rough Stuff Pumice Stone<\/a> ($6), to ensure your feet don’t get too sensitive to touch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Get moisturized<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Soap-&-Glory-Heel-Genius\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And now that your feet are wonderful soft and looking lovely, it’s time to keep them that way. Grab a bottle of your favourite inexpensive foot cream\u201dwe love Soap & Glory Heel Genius<\/a> ($10)\u201dand lather it generously onto your feet at night. Then pull on a pair of socks\u00a0and let them do the work of keeping your feet thoroughly moisturized throughout the night\u00a6 and the rest of the summer.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go polish-free for a\u00a0bit<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"nails-inc-overnight-detox-mask\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Right before you’re about to bust out those sandals, use the last few weeks of closed-toe season to let your toes breathe free. Remove any remaining polish left over from who-knows-when-I-last-had-a-pedicure and try to use a product like Nails Inc Overnight Detox Mask<\/a> ($17) at night, which uses antioxidants to help repair and encourage healthy nail growth.<\/p>\n

Add a seasonal touch of colour<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sandal-season-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because who doesn’t love<\/em> a big, bold summer toenail? Try out Essie Viva Antigua!<\/a> ($10, available at Shoppers Drug Mart) from the summer collection \u00a0and if you want to go for a subtler approach to the warmer months, check out OPI’s Stop It I’m Blushing<\/a>\u00a0($13, available at professional salons) from the Soft Shades 2016 collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
