Pedicure season is fast approaching thanks to soaring temperatures and the Australian penchant for open-toed sandals (and thongs of course). There’s a handful of brands dedicated to keeping feet and toes in good check with their specialised products. They include the following:
1000 Hour
The lazy man’s option for soft, smooth soles would have to be the exfoliating pad. This foot peel is an at-home treatment designed to slough away the hardened skin from feet, and ward away cracked heels and calluses for silky smooth hooves.
Bliss
Foot softening cream Foot Patrol is formed from a combination of skincare ingredients that soften and stimulate all at once. Aloe leaf and peppermint are boosted by alpha hydroxy and salicylic acids to rid feet of old skin, and stimulate the new.
QV Feet Heel Balm
Deeply nourishing foot treatment QV Feet Heel Balm is a cream focused on attracting and maintaining moisture in the skin. Hard, cracked skin can be transformed under its use into soft and supple, thanks to the combination of sodium lactate and lactic acid.
Credo
The humble callus shaver may be one of beauty’s most unappreciated tools. But the portable device helps to rid the feet from corns or calluses, shaving away dead skin. Credo Pop Art’s version also comes equipped with a non-slip handle that can be disinfected for hygiene.
Emjoi
For pedicures on the go there is always the Emjoi MICRO Pedi Core. The portable device exfoliates and removes rough skin with an antibacterial Flex+ roller. The device spins 30 times per second, gently removing hard layers.
JERGENS Foot Cream
Targeting those suffering from extra dry skin is JERGENS Foot Cream. The blend of vitamins C, E, B5, and unique HydraLucence™ promises to nourish skin for up to 48 hours.
Scholl
A foot file that can remove all degrees of hard skin, Scholl’s durable file has been designed to treat any area without difficulty. The file features two different surfaces (a fine and coarse offering) for treating different skin complaints.
OPI
OPI’s foot care range includes a nourishing cream that targets calluses and cracked skin. The formula contains a natural fruit acid complex of sugar cane, lemon, orange and apple, combined with salicylic acid and shea butter.
Sally Hansen
Famed nail brand Sally Hansen has released a vitamin-enriched cream for keeping feet supple and soft. The hero ingredient for the product is lavender which retexturises and conditions the feet for long-lasting nourishment.
Tweezerman
An essential for every toiletries bag, a pair of trusty toenail clippers will serve you well when it comes to foot care. Tweezerman’s version is a heavy-duty set formed from polished stainless steel that includes a handle and a groove to catch clippings.
