How to achieve silky smooth feet

 

We all want super smooth feet (especially during flip-flop season), but a pedicure trip can be pricey. We’ve compiled some of the best products and DIY solutions for soft feet in just a few minutes. 

 

Here are some easy ways to treat yourself to soft feet from the comfort of your home. Read on to discover how to avoid the dreaded dry, cracked heel and the best methods to get dead skin off your feet fast. 

 

How to Get Soft Feet

Dry, cracked heels and calluses are extremely common, especially in the summer and winter. Luckily, removing dead skin from feet is simple and inexpensive. 

Here are a few ways to get rid of dead skin on your feet and have silky soft feet ASAP:

 

1. Treat Your Feet to a High-Quality Moisturizing Lotion 

If you’ve got dry and rough feet, you need to invest in a high-quality lotion to get your feet back in tip-top shape. For the Holy Grail of hydration, you want a product with multiple ingredients that combat dry foot skin. Tasmanian Spring Water Wonder Body Lotion by Sand and Sky contains Tasmanian spring water, hyaluronic acid, and fermented sea kelp– a trifecta of hydration. 

 

2. Use a Pumice Stone 

Pumice stones are natural lava stones that help to gently exfoliate dead skin, leaving you with super soft feet. Pumice stones are an inexpensive way to smooth heels and calluses safely.

 

How to get soft feet using a pumice stone: 

  • Soak your feet in warm water for 10 minutes to soften your skin.
  • Gently rub the pumice stone in a circular motion or back and forth to exfoliate dead skin and promote healthy skin growth.
  • Slather your feet with lotion or oil.
  • Wear thick socks to keep the moisture locked into the skin.

 

3. Use a Body Scrub

Body scrubs are another great way to exfoliate your skin safely and effectively. Australian Pink Clay Body Sand by Sand and Sky is a good body scrub to start with. 

 

This body sand combines macadamia and coconut shells to gently remove dead skin on feet 

(or anywhere on your body), and high fatty acid content in virgin macadamia oil to moisturize the skin. Simply soak your feet in warm water and apply the scrub all over your feet. Gently rinse the residual scrub with cool water and apply lotion to lock in the moisture.

4. Give Your Feet a Vitamin E Oil Massage

Vitamin E oil is renowned for its ability to heal and hydrate skin. Giving yourself a vitamin E oil massage before bed can get your feet beach-ready in no time. 

To give your feet a vitamin E oil massage: 

  • Warm a small amount of vitamin E oil between the palm of your hands and rub it all over your feet. 
  • Put some soft socks on and keep them on throughout the night. When you wake up, you’ll have smoother, silky smooth feet. 
  • Repeat this massage 2x per week for feet you would want to show off.

 

5. Enjoy An Epsom Salt Soak

Epsom salt soak baths are a great way to ease tired, sore muscles and rid your body of toxins. Removing dead skin from feet with an Epsom salt soak can also be a great way to eliminate foot odor, promote cell rejuvenation, and even soften dry skin. 

 

To hydrate your feet with an Epsom salt soak, follow these simple steps:

  • Combine 1 cup of Epsom salt in two gallons of warm water. 
  • Soak your feet up to the ankles in the water for 10-15 minutes. 
  • Rinse your feet off with cool water and gently pat the skin dry. 
  • Massage a high-quality lotion all over your feet and ankles, concentrating on spots prone to calluses and rough spots.

 

You can also add essential oil to your Epsom soak for relaxation and health benefits. Treat yourself to a lavender essential oil soak if you want to wash your feet as part of a pre-bedtime routine.
