Tips for feet

If you haven’t treated your feet for a while, just this once goes to chiropodist and gets your feet spoilt for session.

Before every bath or shower, spend two or three minutes whisking over your feet with a foot file or pumice to remove dead skin. In a pedicure you do this after you’ve soaked, but day to day it’s better done before your bath.

For extremely dry feet, lather on a layer of cocoa butter to each foot, slip your feet into plastic bags and pull on a pair of oversize socks. Leave on overnight while sleeping and when you awaken the next morning your feet will feel smooth, silky and soft.

Give yourself a major pedicure once a month to keep nails under control.

Treat any unusual problem quickly. While you may not like to think about it, feet do get some nasty on them and pretty quickly too. So if you get corns, verrucas or fungal infection, sort them out as you notice them.

Add milk to a footbath for softening the feet

Try a foot massage. It’s relaxing and rejuvenating.

In addition to soaking your feet, you can scrub them to reduce the problem of foot odor. This is best done with natural home remedy products that have a strong smell. Ginger, radish and lemon are all good products for creating a foot scrub that will truly cleanse your feet. Do this once or twice a week.

You can also soak your feet in vinegar once or twice a week to reduce the problem. Vinegar stinks too so you’ll want to do this one at the end of the day when you’re not going anywhere. Wash your feet, dry them thoroughly, stick them in a pair of socks and go to bed.

Salt water can dry out your skin so if you wash your feet in it then you can reduce the moisture of your feet and that will reduce their tendency to get stinky fast. When you are done with your shower, soak your feet in a solution of warm salt water. Don’t rinse it off; merely wipe it off with a towel and let your feet dry fully before putting socks on.

If you dry out your feet but then stick them inside of sweaty shoes then you’re just going to get smelly feet again right away. Air out your shoes before wearing them again.
Don’t wear the same pair every day because this worsens the problem.
