Summer is nearly here, and if you haven’t done so already, you will soon be trading your tennis
shoes or boots for some cute summer sandals. Before you can expose your toes for the entire world to
see, you should first get those toes ready for summer with these easy tips.
 

Get Them In Shape-Begin by removing traces of any old nail polish. Once you have removed
the old polish, clip your toe nails to the desired length and then file them back in one direction.
To avoid jagged edges, smooth the edges with a buffer.
 

Get Rid Of The Dry Skin-Using a dry skin foot file; whittle down calluses or rough patches on
the heel and balls of your feet. After sloughing away the dry skin, use a cream that is designed
to keep feet smooth and soft on your feet nightly.
 

Exfoliate-Soak your feet in warm water then exfoliate with a grainy scrub. While you are at it, do
your legs as well. Gently push back the cuticles on your nails and clean under the nails with an
orange stick.
 

Applying Polish-Start with a base coat of your favorite nail polish. This helps protect your nail as
well as help the color to stay on your nail. After that, apply two thin coats of your preferred color.
Seal with a clear top coat. Allow about 20 minutes for drying and refresh your look with a new
layer every couple of days.
 

When you are wearing sandals this summer, make a point to apply sunscreen to the tops of
your feet. We highly recommend SolarAegisas your choice for natural sunscreen. Because this
is an area of skin that is not exposed to sun all too often, the tops of the
feet are prone to sunburns as well as Melanoma. When applying sunscreen, follow the same
steps that you do when applying it anywhere else. Make sure that you apply the sunscreen at
least a half hour before you go outside. Reapply sunscreen to the tops of your feet every two
hours or after getting your feet wet. Because the skin on the top of your feet is thinner and more
sensitive than the skin on other areas of your body, it is a wise choice to choose a sunscreen
with a high SPF for your feet.
SolarAegis comes in a easy to carry throw in your bag size tube. Take it with you anywhere you
might be out in the sun.
 

By following a few simple steps, and maintaining your feet, you can have beautiful sandal ready
feet all season long.
