Straight from the lady herself here are her best tips for your perfect fall pedicure:

Exfoliate: If too many months of sandal wearing have left you with dry, cracked feet as they often do, it is important to exfoliate and reveal new skin. This alone will improve the foot’s appearance significantly. Use a pumice stone or similar buffing tool on these dry, callused spots.

Soak: Give your feet a nice soak for at least ten minutes. Water should be comfortably warm and not overly hot. Add favorite scented oils or herbs to the water to soften skin and enhance the experience.

Buff: After feet have been soaked and are soft, buffing will soften the skin even further. Especially pay attention to areas that are still rough even after the soak.

Moisturize: Making sure feet and lower legs are dry, quickly apply a lotion or butter. Those made especially for feet are often better as they tend to be thicker and will provide ultimate moisture.

Perfect: Trim and file nails with the appropriate tools followed by buffing the surface of the nail, which will make the polish adhere longer. Apply oil to nail beds and push back cuticles. If cuticles seem incredibly cracked and dry try using a balm instead of oil, which will better retain moisture. Use an astringent to remove excess oils from the nails themselves, then apply one base coat, two coats of your favorite color, one clear top coat, and then bask in the delight of your stunning digits!

Insider Tip Straight from your in house Be Beautiful beauty expert:

Use an exfoliating foot scrub to start off your pedicure, then drizzle a little of your favorite moisturizing bath oil in your foot soak, also use a foot lotion with Shea butter in it. These tips will make the difference in having the softest feet possible!
