We are almost in the height of summer meaning lazy days spent at the beach, picnics in the park and of course an array of summer sandals hitting the shops…cue perfectly pedicured toes.

However with our feet living in uggs for the past couple of months our feet seem to be showcasing none other than unsightly bunions, chipped polish and painful blisters. So if you suffer from worn and swollen feet why not give the Dorchester Spa’s Luxurious Caviar Pedicure. An hour and ten minutes worth of treatments costs £95 and includes the application of a luxury caviar foot mask, which works to soothe, hydrate and soften the skin. The properties in the Caviar also help to prevent the signs of ageing.

Once the caviar has been applied to the problem area a Turkish salt scrub is then used in order to smooth the skin, the feet are then wrapped in a pair of ‘heated booties’ that leave the skin and feet feeling revitalised and invigorated.

If you suffer from peeling, bumpy and red skin then the Blueberry Smoothie natural chemical peel from EF Medispa is the option for you and costs £100 for a 45 minute treatment which involves cleansing the feet with hot towels, using the skin friendly rosewater. CosMedix cleanser is then applied to the problem areas in order to prep the skin for the Blueberry Smoothie treatment; this consists of a light chemical peel, which contains no artificial additives.

The result is feet that are extremely smooth and soft, those that opt for this treatment will notice the skin on the feet flaking revealing a new layer of Pedi-perfect skin

With the summer season fast approaching its time to put away the winter boots and heels and get out the cutesy sandals and open toed wedges. This all sounds great but we’ve been hiding out tootsies in heavy boots for the last couple of months, polish is chipped, feet are dry and heels are cracked. It time for a little maintenance and this maintenance comes in the shape of an emergency pedicure.

Step one is to tackle that hard skin, Margaret Dabbs offers a Surgical Pedicure which is priced at £75 for 90 minutes and boasts to banish the problem skin by using a variety of tools to file and slice away the unwanted areas. Once for feet are smooth and silky, a trained pedicurist will paint your toes in a shade of your choice whilst you chill out in the oxygen capsule. Those who opt for this treatment will leave feeling full of energy and ready to get those sandals out.

Cracked skin is another common problem and can leave feet feeling sore and looking unsightly. For £90 you can opt for the Nevilles Acid Pedicure, which lasts a total of 90 minutes. The procedure involves soaking the feet in skin friendly eucalyptus oil, the next step requires trimming the nails in order to prepare them for the acid peel. Any dead and unwanted skin is scraped and filed away then the feet are injected with a surge of moisture using a moistening product from the Jessica range. The final step is a coat of pretty polish in a colour of your choice; the result is toes that are ready for the summer!
