Look at your feet. Yeah, those two. Way down there at the bottom of your legs. If you’re like a lot of guys, other than making sure those tootsies are clean in the shower and not stepping on a LEGO brick, they probably don’t get too much attention. But if you’re working from home nowadays, chances are you have some extra free time to take care of your neglected feet. While having the right socks and shoes is important, you also need to pay attention to the skin and cuticles of your feet. Give yourself a good pedicure with the best products we’ve rounded up. Now is your chance to kick back, relax, and pamper yourself.
First, set the mood. OK, no, I don’t mean break out the Pure Seduction playlist on Spotify, but, yeah, get some music going. Light a candle. Shake up a cocktail. Keep a cigar at the ready if that’s your thing. Then get down to business.
