QI’m going on holiday next week but don’t have time for a pedicure. How can I get my feet looking prettier?

Gina Turner, Cambridge

Don’t worry if you don’t have the time or money to get a salon pedicure – you can do your very own DIY job at home. The most important tool you need is a foot file, such as Starskin VIP Fab Foot File, £7, lookfantastic.com, which will help get your feet ready for sandals. Buff away all the hard skin on the soles and sides of your feet with ease, thanks to the contoured shape of the file – you’ll be surprised just how much dead skin there is! Once your feet feel silky smooth, then generously massage in Dirty Works Signature Foot Butter, £4.50, Sainsbury’s, which is packed with sweet almond, peppermint and tea tree oils that provide antibacterial benefits and keep your feet smelling amazing, too. Lastly, after cutting and filing to your desired shape and length, add a lick of colour to your nails. Essie Nail Lacquer in Lovie Dovie, £8.99, Boots, will work all year round and has a gorgeous professional high-shine finish.

AE.l.f Cosmetics Lash XTNDER Mascara, £7, elfcosmetics.co.uk Invest in this tubing mascara if you’re interested in a smudge-, clump- and flake-free finish, plus a dramatic lash length and a hydration formula. We’re sold!
