In treatment: Sophy Robson Medi-Pedi

Treatment: Sophy Robson Medi-Pedi.

Expert: Beautician Neringa, who has been trained by queen of feet Sophy Robson and has pink, glittery nails.

Science: This may be a chiropody-style pedicure that wages war on hard skin but it isn’t boring. It finishes with the colourful nail painting Robson is known for. It’s usually done without soaking feet first, because Robson believes that is better for getting cracked skin off, but my feet were so neglected that Neringa made an exception. Feet are filed, soaked and filed again, then slathered in luxurious cream, while nails are treated to a gel manicure dried with an LED light.

Results: No wonder Kate Moss and Rita Ora are fans. I used to think pedicures were a waste of time but Neringa has converted me. I now have the heels of a newborn babe and the nails of a film star.
