• First step of foot spa is the removal of nail
  polish. After nail polish is removed, you can
  start the cleansing process. Cut down the length,
  if you have extra long nails, so you can clean
  them properly. After getting rid of those ugly
  extra nails, it is advisable that you should
  apply some cuticle cream to soften the area.
• Cleaning
• Put your feet in a tub of lukewarm water and soak
  them properly. You can also add a pinch of salt
  in the water, it helps to remove dead skin and
  dirt. In some cases the salt helps to minimise
  swelling. Add shampoo in the water and keep your
  feet in the water for twenty minutes. Use a soft
  brush to clean the feet by brushing between the
  heels, toes and sole. By using different types of
  pedicure tools you can clean the accumulated dirt
  under the toenails and gently remove the dead
  skin around it.

• Exfoliating
• There are many gels and scrubs available in the
  market, which is meant for exfoliation. It can
  also be done with a pumice stone or foot scraper.
  You can rub these on the heels because that is
  where dead skin accumulates the most. Exfoliate
  each portion of your feet and do not neglect the
  pads under your toes. You can also use your
  regular body or facial scrub, in case you do not
  have a foot scrubbing gel.

• Massaging
• Unscented skin nourishing cream is considered as
  one of the best choices for massaging. You can
  mix a few drops of lemon juice with foot cream,
  which makes it highly effective. By applying the
  right amount of pressure, you can massage your
  leg with cream.
• Due to hectic modern lifestyle, many people often
  complain about foot and ankle pain. If you have a
  similar case, then it is strongly recommended to
  visit a Physio. North Shore is the home of some
  renowned physiotherapy centres.
