With sandal-weather swiftly approaching, we're trading out fluffy socks and winter slippers in favour of lighter, brighter shoes - and about time, too. Our toes, heels and soles are stepping out of cosy hibernation and into strappy heels, and reminding us it's time for some overdue DIY pampering.
Much like our springtime body care routines (cue the full works shaving, scrubbing and tanning), turning your feet and nails from tragic to terrific can require an extensive self-care-meets-skincare makeover. From priming and painting your nails with a vivid polish, to tackling intensely dry and dull-looking skin around your heels and soles, giving your feet a rejuvenating pedicure can require both time and professional-grade tools - so we recommend investing in a pedicure kit that can help you do it all.
Whether you're looking for targeted tools for your cuticles and calluses or deeply hydrating formulas to bring tired-looking toes back to life, these are the best foot care kits for mastering the at-home pedicure.
