How to keep feet sweet all summer long

Your feet may well need an extra treat to get and keep them sandal-ready. Regular exfoliation and moisturising will help, and pay special attention to toenails; cut them straight across and not too short. Make sure you dry your feet carefully and when the sun does make an appearance, make sure your SPF goes all the way to the end of your toes. Just a little effort will make a big difference and we’ve handpicked the best, most effective feet treats to help you do just that.

1 The heat, and sandals, can cause havoc with feet. For dry and parched feet, this potent foot cream will provide quick relief and help skin retain moisture and prevent cracking. UreaRepair Plus 10% Foot Cream, £11 Eucerin

2 Just pull these on like socks, tape them around your ankles, wait an hour, wash, and seven days and some very impressive exfoliation later, you’ll have feet so soft you’ll want to show them off. Dr Glycolic 7-Day Peel Socks, £15 (£5.59 for members) Beauty Pie 

3 Ergonomically designed with a curved shape perfect for contending with cracked heels, buff away rough, dry skin for instantly sandal-ready feet. Fab Foot File, £7 Starskin VIP
