It’s so gross, however so satisfying and since we’re now nicely and actually into sock carrying climate nobody will ever know. I love to do one pre-winter and one pre-summer. These REALLY work. Then preserve your laborious work with weekly use of the Margaret Daabs Foot File* – absolutely the BEST available on the market – and Beauty Pie’s Footopia Foot Cream* – actually slap it on and permit it to soak up.

I’ve acquired drier, extra blemish-prone and it’s pressured to me to do an actual shake-up in my routine, as an alternative of simply reusing the identical ol’ faithfuls that I’ve been utilizing for years at this level. If you need the down-low on every thing I’m utilizing, then have a learn of this Instagram post. However by way of a reset right here’s what I’m considering. It’s really a very good time to dig into skilled therapies. A number of require downtime which is simpler to get in when your social calendar isn’t as packed because it was through the summer time, and most require you to remain out the solar which is fairly darn simple to do right now of yr.
