Squeaky Clean: An Editor’s Obsession with Perfect Feet

Fact: I can’t go to bed with dirty feet. Nor can I go a week without ensuring that they’ve been scrubbed, clipped, moisturized and buffed to perfection. I’m not sure what it is (I am a pisces), but the thought of having less than baby-soft, squeaky clean tootsies gives me a shudder. There’s nothing worse than cracked heels, and I sigh heavily whenever I spot someone on the street with heel crevices the size of a crater. Luckily, as a beauty editor, I have more lotions, scrubs, and callus treatments than even I need sometimes. These are the products I use to achieve pedi perfection.
Butter London ‘Mucky Pups’
Ever since I first swiped one of these across my toes, I can’t live without them. No matter how late it is, my feet get a thorough wipe before hitting the hay. The soft, foamy and sweet-smelling disposable cloths make clean, soft feet super simple.
Lush Volcano Deodorizing Foot Mask
Feel your calluses growing before your eyes after a long day on your feet? Ingredients such as papaya, lemon, tomatoes, potatoes, and kaolin (a clay mineral) in this mask naturally moisturize and condition your feet, while anti-fungal essential oils ensure they won’t smell.
Deborah Lippmann Steppin’ Out Nourishing Foot Cream
Slather on this thick, marshmallow-scented moisturizer and you’ll feel like a princess. Aloe vera, olive oil, and kokum butter deeply hydrate dry and tired toes, and açai berry extracts deliver antioxidants.

This made me clean my feet this morning, soaking in water, taking dead skin off, scrub & finally moisturizer :) they're happy now.
At night, i usually use moisturizer - love Johnson's moisturizer, it gives a super soft feeling.
I use it for my whole body including feet 👍👍

For awesome feet I swear by Earth Therapeutics Refreshing Foot Scrub (smells amazing, feels nice and cold) as well as their Gentle Foot Peel. Both products are good on their own but magic when used together (separately but together, not mixed together, hahaha), I use the scrub first and the peel second to eliminate anything that's left.

I am the exact same way - I have cleansed and moisturized my feet before I can sleep. I also like the Body Shop's blue "pumice" like buffer and their pepermint lotion.

I love the volcano foot mask but it makes mess all over the place if you aren't careful!
