Flip Flop Friendly Feet

Here at the The Cosmetic Practice we have a selection of products suitable to stop those elephant feet!

If your are brushing off your flip flops ready for the summer months then you need to get your feet ready ...


Many of us suffer from dry, cracked skin on our feet and this is made worse during the winter months with thick socks and heavy boots. But it is fairly easy to rectify and with a little TLC your feet can be beautiful and soft once again.

Firstly, start by soaking your feet in warm, soapy water to soften the dry skin, I like to use an exfoliating scrub on my feet too: I like Taer Icelandic Silky Refining scrub. Alternatively, you can use a pumice stone or a file to gently slough away the rough skin, mainly around the heels and the edges of the feet.

Dry your feet thoroughly and then use a rich moisturiser to give your feet a real treat. I absolutely love Neostrata PDS Dry Skin Cream. This is an especially rich, exfoliating cream for smoothing and hydrating excessively rough, dry skin. It is formulated with 20% Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) to smooth and moisturize severely dry, rough and thickened skin such as knees, elbows and heels.

To really treat your feet, slather on a thick layer just before bedtime then slip on some cotton socks and this will give you a fantastic overnight treatment.

Avoid the elephant feet! - Follow these tips and you'll never be afraid to slip into your flip flops again!
