Fanciful Footworks: ABCDlady's Guide to Treating Your Tootsies
Summer loving had you a blast. The strappiest of sandals
or flimsiest of flip flops added the sexy touches to your free-flowing
bohemian dresses, but summer fun also wreaked havoc by leaving behind
dry skin or cracked nails. Summer heat causes drier skin by exposing
unprotected skin to harsh heat and skimming sand. When hitting the social
scene this month — whether Midtown Manhattan’s Diwali Balls
or Pomona’s grand garbas — no need to hide silvery anklets
under your zari weave bordered saris. Step up your fanciful feet with
targeted products that treat your tootsies as delicately as your skin.

Oil the Soles
Kahina Argan Oil: Morocco’s cult beauty
secret, this intensely rich oil has been used for centuries to ward
off the callous effects of the desert sun. Infused with super-rich Vitamin
E and essential fatty acids, this oil eradicates crow’s lines
and deep wrinkles within days of use. The non-greasy formulation absorbs
easily to give off a sheer radiance. $72 | Kahina-givingbeauty.com
DESI DIVA HINT: Shades of red
will ensure a sexy finish to any glammed-up girl. But, sneak peeks
of hairy toes will bring down any girl’s style quotient.
Skip on your granny’s recipe for slicking back strays with
petroleum jelly. Shaving toe hairs are an option, but welcome
the strands back within days. Opt to wax unsightly toe hairs on
a regular basis, to decrease the thickness and frequency —
and future finger pointing. |

Treat the Feet
Philosophy Soul Owner: Created to exfoliate
dry, cracking skin with hyper-charged salicylic acid and exotically
scented with lavender oils, this extra-rich emollient cream is also
fortified with glycolic acids to help reduce rough soles and fade away
sunspots over time. This cream is ideal for slathering over your feet
under cotton socks for a sublime overnight treatment. $14 | Sephora.com

Extend the Pedi
Duri Miracote: This extremely fast, non-yellowing,
formaldehyde-free topcoat is designed to dry through the nail polish
to the base coat in minutes, leaving a tough yet brilliantly glossy
finish. A quick layer will give pretty pedicures a renewed, chip-free
shine for dances to come. $7 | Duri.com
