Ah, summer. It’s the season of breezy beach vacations, sunbathing by the pool, and plenty of outdoor exercise to maintain the summer body one has worked so hard for. According to the latest trends, it’s also the season to be demure.
It’s impossible to scroll through social media these days without coming across videos explaining how to do everything in the most demure, mindful, and cutesy way. It all started with a video posted by TikTok user Jools Lebron in which she uses the word “demure” to describe her hair and makeup.
“You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure, very mindful,” says Jools.
Videos have popped up explaining how to be demure in everything from going to the club to eating out at Chipotle.
With the sun shining and the temperature rising, demure girls everywhere will be sporting flip-flops, sandals, and open-toed shoes. But if there’s one thing that’s certainly not demure, it’s neglecting to give one’s feet the care they need to look their best. Here are a few nail and foot care tips for modest, mindful girls:

Make Time For Proper Hygiene
Most people prioritize washing their hands and faces, but demure girls remember to give their feet the same kind of love. It’s not enough to take a shower and call it a job well done–the best way to keep feet clean is by washing them regularly with soap and water, especially when going barefoot or wearing open-toed shoes. It’s important to dry them well afterward to prevent fungal infections and use moisturizer to keep the heels nice and smooth.
Choose The Right Footwear
Poor-fitting shoes are the last thing demure girls would wear, as they cause all sorts of problems from corns to calluses. When exercising, choose comfortable shoes with plenty of support. Mindful gals don’t wear the same shoes every day, but rotate them regularly to keep them from getting too damp. They also choose breathable socks that keep their feet dry and prevent fungus or bacteria from growing.
Clean Shoes Regularly
It’s easy to focus only on how shoes look on the outside, but demure girls know that cleanliness is an inside job. Sprinkling a little baking soda inside one’s shoes and leaving it for a few hours will neutralize odor and kill bacteria. If one is looking for a deeper clean, they can mix equal parts water and distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle and douse the inside of their shoes as often as needed. Just be sure to let them air dry for at least 30 minutes before wearing them again.
Invest In The Best Foot And Nail Care Products
Even the most demure girls can suffer from dry feet or nail issues. To keep one’s feet looking the best they can, it pays to invest in the right products. Kerasal has a range of foot and nail care products that tackle common issues like cracked heels, dry skin, and nail damage. Products like their Intensive Foot Repair Ointment will keep heels baby smooth and ensure that demure look shines through. To treat damaged, brittle, or discolored nails, Kerasal Multi-Purpose Nail Repair Patches are a great choice that will leave them looking refreshed and renewed.
Like with most beauty tips, prevention goes a long way, so the best way to keep one’s feet looking demure is to be proactive in caring for them throughout the year. By making these tips a habit, one can let their feet take center stage this summer as the delicate, demure divas they are.
