3 Quick and Easy tips for giving your hardworking feet that tender TLC they deserve

November 20, 2015 Paris B 6 Comments

I have a bad habit. I take good care of my facial skin but the rest of my body is pretty much fair game. Body lotions or hand creams are things I use only when I remember, and let’s not even talk about feet! Other than cutting my toenails when they start getting long and gnarly, I rarely do much for my poor maligned feet.

So if you are like me, pause for a moment, say a quick thank you to your feet for making you mobile, and care for them. Here are some quick tips 🙂

Buff away hard skin

Hard skin on our feet are often found around your heels and toes, where calluses appear. Sometimes, it’s due to poor fitting shoes, sometimes, it’s just neglect. The Scholl Velvet Smooth Pedi-Express Electronic Foot File (RM139.90) should take care of those hard bits, to return the smooth soft skin to your feet.

The gadget is fairly easy to use, and if you aren’t the sort to go for pedicures (like me – had a bad experience) then this would be very useful for a home pedicure.

Here’s a quick video where I show you how to use it, and tell you a little more about it. Admit it, you want to see how it works! You can also read more at this link.

Apply a foot cream

While there are numerous brands that have foot creams in their line up, I don’t use a dedicated foot cream. What I do is use a thick body cream instead. Wear an old pair of socks over your feet after moisturising, to help soften your feet further, and more importantly, prevent the floor from getting sticky! You just know that you’ll need to head to the toilet immediately after this right? It’s Murphy’s Law 😛

Give your feet a warm soak

Sometimes, when you go for a massage, they start by soaking your feet in warm water infused with essential oils. Isn’t it relaxing? Well, do it at home too! Get a basin of warm water, drop some essential oils into it (lavender is a favourite), stick your feet in and relax. Soaking your feet in warm water has the immediate effect of calming and relaxing your body. After a long hard day, or if you’ve been walking or standing a lot, a warm foot bath helps calm and relax almost immediately.

If you have any other tips for caring for your feet, please do share!

Or have you used that Scholl Pedi-Express gadget? I’m trying to make a little more effort to care for my body, not just my face! 😀

    I use this gadget too. I have extremely dry and cracked heel but I’m too lazy to use a foot cream consistently every night. I will do this process whenever I feel my feet looking too ugly when wearing sandals. After using the gadget, I will apply a thick layer of Vaseline on my feet. I can’t wear socks as it will seep through making my floor oily. Instead I will wear those hotel slippers to walk around the house. This works wonders for me.

      I barely even use a hand cream nightly much less a foot cream haha! But I’m trying whenever I remember. The hotel slippers is a good idea! Much less messy than socks I’d agree. I wear socks only to bed. Helps me wake up to nice soft feet next morning 😉

    I don’t care for my legs much, let alone my feet. Now I try to be consistent in applying a lightening cream on my legs, and I apply on my feet as well. The skin on my feet looks much healthier than before.

      Persistence and care always pays! 😀 I used to have horrible scaly skin on my legs because I never cared for them. Not they aren’t the best pins around, but at least I’m no longer a lizard 😛

    Hahahah you got the pink one too?? I’m going to exchange it for a blue 😛
    I have yet to try it out but I’m sure it’ll be fine, my feet can use a thick cream once a week and socks overnight. Nothing like a good hot soak to get your entire body warm + have you ever tried putting on footcream, soaks and then going for a workout? My feet would have the dead skin peeling right off, like those baby feet things.
    Heat is the way to go to make all those creams work better, even for your hands.

      LOL! I’d have liked the blue too! But I think it’s because they just released the pink one here. I don’t meet many guys who actually care for their skin much less their feet! Hats off, Phil! 😀 But erm… no I haven’t tried the foot cream + socks + workout thing. I’ve seen the baby feet peel off thingies and they scare the crap out of me 😛

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

It’s a lovely spot that is quiet and green, filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies, and is best of all, pet friendly!

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.
