The hotter months are a testing time for trotters… so a little public service journalism coming up. Please (please!) take great care before exposing London to your feet. It is your right to expose them, of course, but do so with the understanding you are taking on great responsibility. The sun has crept out, but like one’s summer body, your toes will not be ready overnight.
Preparation, says Margaret Dabbs OBE, known for pampering the tootsies of celebrities and international political elite, is essential. “Exfoliation is key,” she says. “File your feet when they are dry (before a bath or shower) for two minutes per foot, concentrating on the areas of hard and dry skin. Never underestimate the benefit of using an exfoliating foot scrub all over the feet (do this twice weekly), including between the toes and over the nails.
