Everybody wants to look good from tip to toe and sport the perfect look. When you dress up for some occasion you look for the right dress, the right make-up and the perfect jewelry for looking gorgeous. You may look perfect with you entire upper part pretty and nice and may get many eyes staring at you but what if when it comes to your feet, people turn their eyes away! It might not be the fault of the shoes, perhaps it the condition of you pretty feet, which are not so pretty anymore. You have found the perfect pair of shoes at the lowest rate possible, they are gorgeous, comfortable, match your new dress exactly but the only problem is, your feet aren’t quite as perfect. Whether it is cracked heels, bad toenails, or the need for a pedicure that’s keeping you out of the shoes you love, take care of the following factors to get the perfect feet!

First of all, the ugliest part of your feet has to be taken care of- cracked heels. Several factors can contribute to dry heels including climate, excess weight and going barefoot, but however you got the, nothing can ruin a pair of sexy sandals more than rough cracked heels. Unfortunately, as the condition worsens, it becomes more difficult to treat it since regular moisturizers won’t penetrate the dry, dead, thick skin on your heels. The best way is to wash you feel with warm water, dry it and apply a good heel balm that will penetrate into the deep cracks. The second precaution is eliminating calluses.

Hardened thick skin (calluses) can actually show up nearly anywhere on your feet especially the sole. Callus can cause pain and because the thickness of the callus causes pressure, reducing the overgrown tissue by soaking the feet in warm water and filing down the callus with a pumice stone to smooth down the thick tissue may be helpful.

Also, it is very important to make sure that you wear comfortable shoes. Otherwise as a result of pressure corns are formed on toes due to shoes that are too tight. Hard corns can be cut or burnt off with a tropical acid solution. But in order to make sure that the problem doesn’t recur, wearing wider shoes or sandals can be a solution. Another reason for bad feet are infected toenails. Toe infections can happen because of formation of fungus, which give an ugly an unhygienic look. If the infection is not that bad, then an anti-fungal solution can be applied and the infected corners can be clipped off. If the entire nail is badly infected then the nail has to be removed and you have to wait for a new nail to grow.

Then comes taking care of the skin and appearance of your feet. A good pedicure will take care of it. Then for the final touch wear the right nail polish to go with your dress and footwear. This will give you the perfect feet you were looking for!
