Foot Care After a Pedicure: Sweaty, Tired and Cold Feet, Sorted

Moisturise every night with a foot formula, working it into the heels and between the toes where skin is driest. Pat feet fully dry after bathing, especially between the toes. Rotate your shoes so each pair can air out, and wear socks that breathe.

Avoid scraping calluses with blades at home. If you want a file, use a stainless-steel foot file gently between pedicures.

Feet that sweat a lot feel clammy and tend to smell. Footlogix makes a Sweaty Feet Formula, an astringent mousse with oak bark and sage, to help reduce perspiration of the skin on the feet. Pair it with the Foot Fresh spray, which uses tea tree oil and menthol on the feet, and the Shoe Fresh spray for the shoes themselves.

Wash feet daily, change socks, and let shoes dry fully.

After a long day on your feet, the Tired Leg Formula is a mousse made to help reduce foot and leg fatigue, and the brand notes it is suitable for wearers of compression hose. For feet that always feel cold, the Cold Feet Formula uses arnica and rosemary to stimulate micro-circulation and warm the skin.

These are comfort products, not treatments. Persistent coldness, swelling or pain in the legs needs a doctor.

Every four to six weeks suits most people. If you have deep callus or cracked heels, start closer to every three to four weeks, then relax the gap once the skin is smooth. Read our guide to cracked heels for the heel-specific routine.
