Soaking
Sometimes, toenails would become thick and dry. In these cases, you would soak your feet in a bowl of water for 5 to 10 minutes. For more benefits, consider adding some drops of salt or essential oils. These elements are effective in softening hard skin and keeping your feet smelling good, respectively. You would soak longer when your feet or nails are too dry or when you want to relax. Soaking your nails is also a good option to make them softer for easy trimming. [7]
