Preventing Rough Heels & Big Toe Skin: Expert Advice

Question
Hi Susana,

I took your advice and visited a spa for a pedicure. In future, how can I possibly prevent the skin at the back of my feet (at the heel) and at the side of my big toe from getting so coarse?
Must I always wear socks? I am in sandals most of the day. Must I wear socks with sandals? Any specific sandals that you might recommend?
Please advise.


Answer
If you have a prespiration problem you should wear mainly sandals, if you don't, wear whaterver you wish. It's normal for feet to get very dry, all you have to do to maintain this great condition is wash you feet daily before going to bed and then apply moiturizing balm. Applying it before going to bed gives it more time to penetrate the skin. Maybe your pedicurist could recomend a balm, keep in mind that some are better than others so you might want to invest a bit more on this to really have a good one.
Hope you enjoyed the spa treatment and that you feet keep feeling soft for a long time!
