By Hazel Knox


There is absolutely nothing worse than having to take your shoes off and exposing rough cracked heels, corns, bunions and blisters. Our feet carry us numerous miles on a daily basis and they deserve unique treatment following a long day. The following are a couple of fundamental tips to get your feet ready for year-round exposure and not just for spring or summer sandals.

1) Blisters, corns and bunions, Oh My! Those pointy toe shoes are cute and in-style but your feet suffer significantly. A lot of foot ailments are because of neglect and abuse. According to the APMA all three foot ailments may be helped or prevented by wearing the proper foot wear, which is what my grandmother would tell me more than and more than once more...needless to say, I did not listen. The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) suggest using more than the counter creams (avoiding acid preparations) and exfoliating goods on corns. Blister shouldn't be broken, but if broken wash with soap and water; use an anitseptic ointment and cover to stop infection. Bunions can be helped by wearing shoes that have a wide toe box and consulting your podiatrist. In the event you suffer from diabetes consult your medical doctor or podiatrist to determine the best way to care for your feet.

2) Make sure your feet stay clean by washing and drying between your toes and generating sure you dry them well to stop bacteria and fungi from forming, which thrives in moist areas. Usually give your shoes time to air out and dry between wearings and using a little foot powder can assist to keep your feet dry.

3) When you have athlete's foot or any other fungal conditions, Dr. Scholls Foot Center recommend that you Don't REUSE your towel during treatmeant as bacteria can lay dormant for as much as 4 weeks. Athletes foots may be contracted in swimming pool areas, gyms and anywhere a persons bare foot will come in get in touch with with such as a dressing room.

4) In the event you give yourself a home pedicure, attempt soaking your feet for about 10 minutes in 1 cup of Epsom Salt or sea salt to 2 gallons of water in a foot tub. Fantastic technique for softening skin,eliminating odor and soothing tired sore feet. You can also soak your entire physique in epsom salt and take care of one's feet in the same time.

5) Use exfoliating products to prevent or eliminate hard skin from your feet. There are various kinds of foot exfoliating remedies, pumice stones and files on the market to choose from. whilst you are in the bath tub scrub your feet and heels together with your preferred body scrub to help keep them soft and smooth.

6) Take your own personal pedicure tools as some lower scale salons use the same tools on everybody. For your in-home pedicure, make sure you wash your tools with an antibacterial soap to obtain rid of any bacteria that may form prior to using again.

7) Occasionally polish will crack or peel before the next pedicure and you can remedy that by using your own polish so you are able to touch up a toe or two in in between visits. I began using my own polish because the polish rubs off my baby toe when I wear closed in shoes and touching up 1 toe is easier than taking the polish off and repainting all ten when altering into open shoes.

8) If you have extremely dry skin use an ultra moisturizing lotion or cream on your feet. Apply after a bath or shower and then place socks on your feet, which will make them extra smooth and moisturized in the morning and prepared for those open toe sandals.

9) When wearing open sandals, flip-flops or going barefoot at the beach, use sunscreen on the top of your feet. Do not forget to reapply after coming out of the water.

10) Treat your feet to a massage, in-home or at a expert salon. Our feet carry us numerous miles on a daily basis and deserve special therapy.

Keep in mind your feet can look fantastic year round with a little care and correct foot wear. Your feet are the important to your mobility and taking care of your feet these days will prevent future issues.
