…USE UP OLD SKINCARE

Tinted moisturisers are still the lighter obvious way to go for summery skin, but choose one with an SPF too

GIVE YOURSELF A FOO’CIAL: A FOOT FACIAL, ONCE A WEEK THROUGHOUT SUMMER, AS EVEN THE PRETTIEST SANDALS WON’T HIDE CALLOUSED FEET OR UNKEMPT TOES. HOARD ANY OLD SKINCARE YOU NEVER LOVED FOR YOUR FACE: YOUR FEET WILL ADORE IT.

ALWAYS SOFTEN HARD SKIN BY BUFFING WITH A METAL FOOT FILE WHILE SKIN’S DRY (IF YOU DO IT WHEN THEY’RE WET YOU’LL

ONLY TAKE OFF MORE DEAD SKIN THAN YOU SHOULD AND CAN MAKE THEM SENSITIVE).

NEXT, MASSAGE IN A SCRUB (FACE OR BODY), PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO CUTICLES, HEELS, ANKLES AND THE BALLS OF THE FEET. RINSE OR WIPE OFF WITH A DAMP TOWEL.

LAYER UP SKIN WITH NOURISHING SERUMS, THEN AN OIL, THEN MAYBE A RICH CREAM. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO

ANY DRY SKIN AREAS AND THE CUTICLES.

PULL ON A PAIR OF OLD SOCKS AND

PUT YOUR FEET UP (OR DO YOUR NAILS); REMOVE AFTER 20 MINUTES, WIPE A

LITTLE NAIL POLISH REMOVER OVER YOUR TOENAILS TO REMOVE ANY GREASE

BEFORE APPLYING A COUPLE OF COATS

OF A FAVOURITE LONG-WEAR POLISH. IDEAL THROUGH HOT SUMMER DAYS AND NIGHT, I LOVE THE EASE OF OPI Infinite Shine Gel Effects Maintaining My Sand-ity Nail Polish, £13.95, THAT, WITH THE EXTRA, SUPER TOUGH TOPCOAT, IS A SERIOUS STYLISH VACATION NUDE THAT LASTS THE LENGTH OF YOUR BREAK, WITHOUT DRYING NAILS OUT.
