You must be wearing branded floaters worth Rs 5,000, but if you don't even spend a hundred bucks on your feet, what's the point? Ugly feet can spoil the show of your floaters. Having clean and healthy feet is not too difficult if you follow these simple tips:

Step 1
Fill a bucket with warm water. Add your favorite bath salts and one tablespoon of olive oil. The salts soften dry skin and olive oil moisturises the skin. Soak your feet in the warm water for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2
Trim toenails, cutting them straight across to prevent ingrown nails. Gently push back the cuticles. Don't cut them though. Cuticles are necessary to prevent bacteria from entering the skin.

Step 3
Moisturise your entire feet including your cuticles and the area in between your toes with a good foot cream. Massage cream into skin.

Step 4
Now, gently rub an exfoliating body scrub on the soles of your feet. After 10 minutes, rinse with cool water. Rub your feet with a pumice stone to remove dead skin and soften corns and calluses. Thoroughly dry your feet with a clean towel.
