Everyday

The morning

Coat with talc, which acts as an invisible sock, reducing friction; it is also a great shampoo dry shoes.

The evening

Massage your feet for a few minutes to revive blood circulation, muscle flexibility, joint mobility and elasticity of the skin, and balance the volume of the plantar dimples. For more efficiency, use a specific moisturizer (the skin of the feet is seven times thicker than that of the face) and massage energetically (to relax this part that carries two and a half times the weight of the body all day). The intermetatarsal spaces are drained with the thumbs, the fat pad is stretched and deeply squeezed from the base of the toes towards the back, and the heels are emphasized by concentric movements.

Two or three times a week

Divert an electric toothbrush to spend a few seconds on the furrows, on the side of the nails, especially big toes, to thoroughly clean and remove dead skin. Moisturize the cuticles to soften them, but never cut them.

Once or twice a month

A good scrub

Performed regularly, it avoids the rasp to eliminate dead skin and roughness, and thus limit the rebound effect of calluses.

A file

Used after cutting his nails, rounding on the edges to not attack the furrows. The secret boot of our specialist: its polishing paste, a cream based on mother-of-pearl powder, to rub with a chamois leather fixed on the head of a polisher in natural horn, inspired by that of the grandmothers. The well vascularized nail takes a pretty healthy pink color and becomes as bright as if it were varnished.

To ban

• Wooden sticks.
• The nail polish more than three days (beyond, the acidity of the pigments could cause yellowing). Then it is removed and hydrated. The nail feeds like a floor.
• Socks at night, on a care. This use is an idea, the product clings to the textile and not to the skin.
