I say this all the time… I have super dry skin in the fall & winter season. It’s like my body just becomes super thirsty and drinks up all the water leaving my skin to look super dehydrated. I always need to find the best ways to keep my skin hydrated and today we will be talking about saving my feet from being the Walking dead. *GASP*
By where I live, nail salons over the weekend are always fully booked. I always forget to make appointments and walk-in wait time is a nightmare. If I really had to get my feet done for the weekend and this was happening, I’ll just go home and start doing my pedicure at home. If they can’t make you happy, you gotta make your self happy with a good ol’ DIY Pedicure that is easy to do, you might just bump going to the salon after this.

· A Good Foot Scrub or Body scrub will do
· Nail clippers
· Cuticle Pusher

After doing this Pedicure at Home myself, Mennn was my feet feeling good. I remember wearing slippers everywhere, didn’t want it to touch the floor. J Its been 5 days since I did it and my skin has shown no signs of ash. It still looks very hydrated and nourished, in other words HEALTHY!
