Soft Summer Feet

So you've just finished up your finals and are ready to work on your summer tan (24/7 studying has left you with a vampire-like complexion). You go to put on your bikini and flip flops when you see (cue stereotypical horror movie sound bite) YOUR FEET LOOK LIKE DIRTY SHRIVELED CRISPS!! Have no fear, I have the perfect solution to dry feet and just in time for sandal season! 

This is actually the easiest beauty tip ever. 

1. Choose a fairly heavy moisturizing lotion/creme.

2. Apply all over feet.

3. Put on socks.

4. Wear while you're getting ready in the morning.

Tada! Beautiful and soft summer feet.

If your feet are REALLY dry I suggest doing this before bed, using vaseline instead of lotion, and wearing socks while you sleep.

**Grace thinks I'm really weird for doing this because apparently her feet are perfect and naturally soft at all times.

Left to right.
1. Aveda Foot Relief, $20 for 4.2 fl oz - I like this one because it really works and smells like how you'd expect things from Aveda to smell, super natural and calming.
2. The Body Shop Intensive Foot Resolve (Peppermint), $18 for 3.4 fl oz - This one is great to wear to bed because the peppermint and menthol are really calming. It makes your feet feel like you just got a pedicure!
3. The Body Shop Body Butter (Satsuma), $18 for 6.9 oz - My favorite! I've been buying this product since middle school (2006ish?) and I've always bought the same kind: Satsuma. It smells citrus-y and fresh, and I mostly use it as a hand creme but it works well anywhere. The Body Butter line comes in so many more scents (Pink Grapefruit, Vanilla, Coconut, Japanese Cherry Blossom, Shea, etc.) so I suggest trying a small one out (1.7 oz for $6) next time you go shopping.
4. Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, ~$13 for 16 fl oz - Cetaphil is a great skincare brand, and their moisturizing cream is great for sensitive skin. It is unscented and absorbs into skin quickly.
