While a salon pedicure is an indulgent treat, painting your own nails on a Sunday night – armed with snacks and some bingeable TV – can be every bit as relaxing. French podiatrist and pedicurist Bastien Gonzalez agrees, pointing out that neglecting feet can lead to issues like corns, calluses and cracked soles. “I [want] to help people love their feet and get better feet,” says Gonzalez. This will help soften skin and cuticles, preventing any snagging when it is time to push them back and trim your nails. Ensure you dry your feet thoroughly (not forgetting the spaces in between your toes).
