How to Keep Your Feet Smooth Between Pedicures
Let’s face it—one pedicure isn’t enough if you’re aiming for consistently smooth feet. Regular maintenance at home is key to achieving and maintaining soft, healthy skin.
A Pedicure Is Just the Beginning
Most clients come in with feet full of calluses and dry, unwanted skin. A professional pedicure is a great starting point to significantly reduce these issues, but the real question is: What’s next?
Tip #1: Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliating helps remove dead skin, but before starting, you need to determine what type of skin issue you’re dealing with:
- Peeling Skin: This may indicate a fungal infection and requires specialized care. Exfoliating won’t stop peeling skin; instead, it’s best to seek treatment and still continue your exfoliation at home.
- Dry or Callused Skin: If you’re dealing with flaky, dry skin or calluses, my NuFeet Battle Paddle is the perfect tool to reduce and smooth the area. For more severe cases, use it every other day. Otherwise, a weekly routine will suffice.
Tip #2: Moisturizing Oil
Never apply lotion or oil directly on unexfoliated skin—it will just absorb into the dead layers, making them appear smooth without actually improving texture. After exfoliating, moisturize with a high-quality oil to nourish and soften your skin.
Use Medicated Creams Correctly
If you’re managing peeling skin with a medicated cream, use it sparingly and only on the affected areas. Allow the cream to fully absorb before following up with your moisturizer or lotion. Remember, medicated creams are not replacements for general hydration.
Client Success Story
"I didn’t think it would work because of my past experiences at nail salons, but I actually listened to my NuFeet Pedicurist and started seeing results. When you understand the process, it makes the biggest difference!"

Do Your “Home-Work”
Incorporating these tips between pedicures helps maintain smooth feet, address specific issues, and reduce the cost of frequent pedicures.
For Minor Maintenance: If your feet are already smooth, use a pumice stone every other day in the shower to maintain softness. Pumice stones are ideal for light upkeep rather than heavy exfoliation.
Proper Tools: Ensure you’re using the right tools for your needs.
