Foot Care on Holiday: 5 Simple Rules to Keep Your Feet Beautiful After the Beach
Simple summer tips to protect your heels, cuticles and pedicure from sea salt, hot sand and long days in open shoes.
Summer is the season of travel, seaside holidays, beach days and long walks. However, it is often during a holiday that the skin on the feet becomes drier and rougher, while small cracks may begin to appear on the heels.
The reason is simple: sun exposure, sea salt, hot sand, frequent contact with water and open shoes affect the skin every day.
To keep your feet looking as well cared for as they did on the first day of your holiday, all you need is a few simple habits.
1. Rinse Away Sea Salt After the Beach
Sea water feels refreshing, but once it dries, salt remains on the skin and may contribute to dryness.
After swimming, rinse your feet with clean fresh water and gently pat them dry with a towel.
Avoid rubbing the skin too firmly, especially if it has already become dry or sensitive.
2. Moisturise Your Feet Every Evening
The most important rule of summer foot care is regular hydration and nourishment.
Before going to bed, apply a few drops of oil and massage it gently into the soles, heels, nails and cuticles.
For everyday care, oils from Jelly Gelly, JOIA vegan and Staleks are excellent choices. They help keep the skin soft and well cared for while reducing the feeling of dryness that often appears after exposure to the sea, sun and hot sand.
This evening ritual takes only a few minutes, but regular use can help preserve the results of your pedicure for much longer.
3. Do Not Forget Your Cuticles
Sun, heat, salt water and open shoes affect not only the skin on the feet but also the nails and cuticles.
Apply a small amount of oil regularly to the cuticles and the skin around the nails. This helps maintain a neat pedicure and reduces visible dryness around the nail area.
The easiest time to do this is in the evening, together with the rest of your foot-care routine.
4. Choose Comfortable Footwear
Flip-flops and open sandals are perfect for the beach, but they are not always suitable for long walks.
For sightseeing and active days, choose comfortable shoes that provide proper support. This will help your feet feel less tired and significantly reduce the risk of blisters, rubbing and discomfort.
It is also a good idea not to wear the same pair of shoes every day. Alternating footwear helps reduce repeated pressure on the same areas of the feet.
5. Have a Pedicure Before Your Trip and Maintain the Results
A professional pedicure before your holiday helps prepare your feet for the sea, heat and long days of walking.
Book your appointment in advance rather than leaving it until the final day before travelling. This gives the skin time to settle after the treatment and allows you to begin your holiday with a fresh, neat pedicure.
While you are away, around five minutes of daily care is enough: rinse away sea salt after the beach, dry your feet thoroughly and apply a suitable oil.
These simple steps will help keep the skin soft and the pedicure looking neat for longer.
