The warmer weather is coming, and with it the desire to get out your sandals, flip-flops, and espadrilles! But before you whip out your favorite nail polish, it's time to think about a real foot care routine. And the first thing to do? Exfoliating your feet .

Yes, for soft , smooth, pretty and healthy feet, it all starts with exfoliation. We're taking you on a simple and effective wellness ritual to do at home , to restore soft skin right down to your toes.

How to take care of your feet?

We mistreat them all year round... And then as soon as the first warm weather arrives, we want them to be perfect in sandals! But to combine comfort , beauty and health , you must first prepare your feet.

Step 1: Exfoliation, the basis of treatment

Before even thinking about nail polish , moisturizing oil , or massage, you must start by removing dead cells . This is the first essential action of an effective routine. A good foot scrub exfoliates, softens , and nourishes the skin.

A good exfoliating product will:

mechanically exfoliate the skin (often thickened)
make moisturizers more effective
soften rough areas such as the arch of the foot or heels
eliminate dead cells and strengthen cell renewal

Step 2: Relaxing foot bath

We immerse our feet in a basin of warm water , with a little coarse salt and vegetable oils. This simple action prepares the skin, softens it and relaxes it. A pleasant step that makes the scrub even more effective.

Step 3: Exfoliate, massage, nourish

On damp skin, apply a small amount of scrub (no need to use too much!) then gently massage each foot.

Once the treatment is rinsed off, we finish with a nourishing product (oil, balm, cream), which penetrates much better after exfoliation.

How to have soft feet?

The secret is regularity , a good exfoliating texture , and the use of good exfoliating products rich in natural active ingredients.

Gentle yet powerful ingredients

For a visible but respectful scrub , opt for:

finely ground argan shells
restorative shea butter
regenerating date palm oil
nourishing vegetable oils (avocado, coconut, jojoba, etc.)

These ingredients provide an immediate new skin effect while leaving the feet deeply nourished .

Result: soft, supple feet , perfectly prepared for hydration and beauty!

A gesture with multiple virtues

Foot scrubs , in addition to exfoliating, stimulate blood circulation . This soothes tired feet, improves daily comfort, and gives a real feeling of lightness.

And above all, it promotes skin regeneration and prevents the appearance of roughness or calluses.

The benefits of foot scrubbing

We often think about taking care of our face or body... but our feet also deserve their moment of beauty and comfort! Regular exfoliation is essential to maintain their health and softness every day.

✅ Foot scrub benefit: clean heels and soft skin

The nourishing foot scrub gently removes dead cells , the main cause of roughness and the dry or dull appearance of the skin. This simple action exfoliates , softens the skin and prepares the epidermis to receive moisturizing treatments. The skin becomes smoother, healthier, visibly more beautiful.

✅ Stimulate circulation for greater comfort

Exfoliating scrubbing , when combined with a massage of the arch and heels, stimulates blood circulation . This action not only boosts skin regeneration, but also provides a real moment of comfort and relaxation . An ideal tip for relieving tired feet at the end of the day.

✅ Boost regeneration and treatment effectiveness

Exfoliating your feet regularly helps activate cell renewal , thus limiting the appearance of cracks, calluses and dry feet . By removing impurities, the exfoliating product also promotes the effectiveness of moisturizing creams or oils applied afterwards, which penetrate better and nourish the skin deeply.

As with your face, you should neither overdo it nor underdo it: how often you exfoliate your feet depends primarily on your skin type and the condition of your feet.

How often should I exfoliate my feet?

If you have dry feet , with calluses or marked rough areas: twice a week, alternating an exfoliating scrub to remove calluses and a gentler treatment to avoid irritating the skin.
If your feet are rather supple and well-maintained : once a week is enough to maintain soft skin and promote cell renewal .

Regular use allows you to enjoy all the benefits of foot scrubbing without damaging the skin. It stimulates blood circulation , improves skin comfort and reinforces the effectiveness of the moisturizing treatments applied afterwards.

Nohèm tip : adapt the intensity according to your skin type.
Thin or sensitive skin will prefer an organic scrub or a natural exfoliating product that is gentle and respectful. On the other hand, thick skin or skin prone to calluses will better tolerate an exfoliant with a more granular texture , such as an argan shell or coarse salt scrub, to be used with a small amount of product and massaged gently, especially on the arch of the foot .

Homemade foot care routine: simple and natural

Here is a routine that you can easily do at home , for feet in great shape:

Foot bath in warm water with coarse salt or a few drops of oil
Exfoliation : apply a small amount of exfoliating treatment and massage
Pumice stone if necessary
Rinse with clean water
Moisturizing treatment based on vegetable oil or shea butter
Rest in cotton socks to optimize the action of the treatment
