A good pedicure begins by pampering. Margot Grant, the beauty director of Elizabeth Grant skin care and beauty products, suggests beginning your pedicure by soaking your feet for 15-30 minutes. "This will really soften the skin and allow a scrub to work even harder on those calloused areas," says Grant. In addition to softening and deodorizing, Thymes Essential Foot Soak ($5 at Thymes.com) relieves stiffness, minor aches and swelling.
