Waltz through the summer, shine at the beach
and always put your best foot forward

Are you a girl who has her two feet on the ground? Well, just as important as having them on the ground is the care you give them. Well-groomed, perfect-functioning feet like Joan Fontaine’s, enviable at any time, are doubly important in summer. It takes a well-pampered foot to wear those nakedlooking thong sandals, that are so smart now.
Joan Fontaine has some practical tips on how to keep your hard-working underpinnings healthy, happy and nice to look at. Most important, be sure shoes and stockings fit properly — not taking this precaution is the quickest way known to court calluses and bunions — to say nothing of the strained look on your face.
Care of shoes is just as essential to foot health and beauty as selection. Never let them become rundown, for they’ll get your feet and leg muscles into bad habits and unbalance your entire posture. Try to spend part of your day in low heels and never wear the same pair of shoes two days in succession.
Joan Fontaine massages the arch and the ball of her foot, the muscles of the calf, and then dips them alternately in hot-as-can-be and then icy-cold water. This takes away every trace of hot tiredness. Another good trick is to relax with your feet higher than your head, stimulating circulation and encouraging shapely legs at the same time.
As for foot grooming — Miss Fontaine has a little ritual for that, too. After bathing she pushes back the cuticle around the toes with a bath towel, uses cuticle oil before applying nail polish and treats her peds to a massage with emollient cream once a week. Small bumps and calluses are easily kept under control by using a pumice stone. Toenails should be clipped straight across, never cut down into the sides of the nail bed. Gentle use of an emery board will prevent rough edges from snagging sheer nylons.
This simple care will pay off. You’ll be comfortable as the winged Mercury — and proud to bare your pretty feet.
