You don't need a drawer full of products. The honest minimum:
1. Foot peel mask
Once every 4–6 weeks. Reveals brand-new skin underneath. Baby Foot is the original; cheap dupes work fine.
2. 25% urea heel balm
The single most important product in foot care. Used nightly, no cracked heel survives more than a week.
3. Cuticle oil
Jojoba or vitamin-E. Healthy nail beds reflect light evenly — that's what makes a fresh pedicure look striking on camera.
4. Stainless steel foot file
Lasts forever, controllable, dishwasher-safe. Replace your $20 plastic graters with one $15 stainless file.
5. A good top coat
Seche Vite or OPI RapiDry. The difference between a pedicure that lasts 4 days and one that lasts 3 weeks.
