Nighttime Care
You want to fall asleep quick, forgetting all about daily stress? You want your feet to feel relaxed and rested? Try to massage them before going to sleep, using massaging butter or oil. If you don't have such thing, it's ok using a greasy cream or a super-nourishing gel.

Smoothing
Your heels and the zone above are the driest parts of the skin. A special moisturizing cream, applied each evening after shower will help and prevent skin scaling or cracked heels.

In winter, even well-kept soles need getting thickened skin removed. If the peeling creams or exfoliators doesn't really work, foot files are the ideal solution.
Super Tips

1. If you feel your feet heavy and tired after a day in the office use a refreshing, blood circulation improving gel.
2. A pretty nail polish will last longer on a buffered nail. Buy a nail file with special surfaces for smoothing. The nail polish will last longer, will be smoother and shinier.
3. Use glass balls or pebbles in the bath/shower. Rub your feet on and between them, as long as you stay in the water.
4. Rough heels with cracked parts, may be the result of wearing synthetic fibre stockings, or Vitamin A and B deficiency. If the problem persists, you should visit a dermatologist!
5. Your nails have stains after using dark nail polish? Use an anti yellowing top coat before applying nail polish.
