Redhead-Specific Tips for Getting Your Feet Ready for Summer

*Insert sandal emoji here*

Summer is going to be here before we know it, and that means sandal season. Get your feet ready for summer with these foot care tips for redhead skin. We will have you ready for open-toed, strappy shoes in no time: 

Use a pumice stone

Usually, redheads have very sensitive skin and thinner skin too. This means your feet may have made extra skin to keep it safe. Adding a pumice stone to your foot care routine will help to keep them soft and looking nice all year long. Simply keep a pumice stone in your shower and scrub your feet while you let your conditioner sit. 

Try a foot peel

Need some intense help after a cold dry winter? Try a foot peel! It will take a week or two and your feet will be nasty while it’s working its magic, but your feet will feel like butter when all that dead skin is gone. The mask is also made with redhead-approved/natural ingredients so you don’t have to worry about your feet having any irritation.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize

Feet dry out really easily (especially sensitive redhead skin) so it’s especially important to keep them hydrated. Slather on one of your favorite heavy moisturizers and pop on a pair of socks to let them marinate overnight. Do this regularly and your feet will thank you.
