If You Have 5 Minutes...

0:00 to 2:00: Scrub

Dip feet into a tub of warm water and pat dry. Massage a handful of a scrub onto the skin. Choose an oil-based product, which will moisturize as it exfoliates dead, dry cells.
RS pick: Product Body Crush on You Scrub, from $14, productbody.com.


2:00 to 3:00: File

“Quickly file nails straight across to even out their shape,” says Ann Moore, a nail technician at the Camelback Inn, in Scottsdale, Arizona.


3:00 to 5:00: Polish

Wipe off any oil left on the nails from the foot scrub with polish remover. Then apply a quick-drying topcoat to make nails look shiny.
RS pick: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat, $8, drugstore.com.
