Sun, heat and long days suggest that’s the right time to finally show our feet! Before showing off fashionable sandals and flip flops, we must take care of them (our feet again), even without the help of a professional aesthetician. With a spare afternoon and some specific products, like those from Avon Foot Works line I’ve been using since 2007, an at home pedicure is no longer a problem and becomes an effortless and enjoyable experience.
