3. Keep your Feet Clean Every Day
When in the shower, most people do not bother cleaning and washing their feet keenly. This is an important care to your feet. Our feet spend most time trapped in shoes without proper breathing and release of moisture. Moisture and sweat around your feet breeds a fertile ground for bacteria to thrive. Their accumulation brings about odor and fungal infections. Wash your feet well with soap and plenty of water and then dry them up.
4. Moisturize your Feet with a Lotion
The stretch and shear endured by your feet while walking or running can make their surface crack, get dry or get scaly. For those who live in dry and sunny areas and put on sandals regularly, the problem may be deeply entrenched. Rubbing a lotion rich in cocoa butter on the surface of the feet everyday is the solution. It is a powerful emollient and can be applied even when sleeping for those with serious scaly problems.
5. Put on Socks
They protect your feet from wear and tear. Cotton socks also absorb moisture and sweat from your feet. A soft pair of socks can also help the fatty part of your feet in shock absorbing. The fat layer gets weary over time thus the thickness of the socks should also increase simultaneously. Socks also protect your feet from shoes thus averting blisters and calluses. Natural and synthetic socks have fibers that wick away moisture from your feet.
6. Keep your Feet Dry
Dry skin on feet makes them healthy. Bacteria and fungus tend to thrive in moist conditions. You should change your socks daily, dry your feet after a shower and use foot powder to keep your feet dry. A dry towel should be used to dry up between toes and underneath them.
7. Trim Toe Nails Regularly
Trimming your nails every few weeks keeps them strong and healthy. Nails should be trimmed straight across as opposed to trimming them from the edges to form a curve. They not be trimmed to the flesh margin as it may cause infection and also lead to ingrown toe nails.
After a long day of being trapped in your shoes, your feet need to get a healthy relieve. You should observe high levels of hygiene on them and keep them dry. Bacteria and fungus should be eliminated from your feet areas as they breed odor and infections.
