Although very delicate, our feet support the body, give us firmness and balance. Therefore, nothing fairer than devoting some special care to them. Among the cares is foot hygiene, which is also important for our health.
By wearing closed shoes most of the time, most people end up forgetting about foot care. But especially women, they do not like to leave them unkempt, because their feet need to be impeccable when putting on shoes that show them off.
What care should I take with my feet?
After bathing, dry your feet thoroughly. Do not forget to dry between your fingers to not accumulate moisture and increase the chances of bacteria proliferation. Get a foot exfoliation weekly, using a foot sander to remove dead cells and rough skin.
Nails deserve great attention and care as they are sensitive and can easily get stuck or infected. Always cut your nails straight, do not let them extend beyond the fingertips and do not remove the corners. Carefully file your nails so that they do not get under the skin and do not jam.
Moisturizing your feet once a day with specific products is essential. Between your fingers, rub talcum powder instead of cream. Leaving nail polish for a long time also interferes with the health of the toes, white spots on the nails may start to appear and this creates a fungal-friendly environment. Therefore, the ideal time to get your nail polish is three days.
At the beach, it is important to apply sunscreen to the feet to prevent dryness and to prevent skin cancer. To avoid skin thickening, always wear shoes. Wear soft, cotton sneakers and socks to better absorb perspiration and protect your feet from fungus, ringworm bacteria, and stink.
To avoid foot pain, wear comfortable heels such as platforms or with wider toes. If you spend a lot of time standing, prefer flat shoes that don't tighten at any point. The soles are very important for any type of footwear, they must be flexible to protect the feet. Avoid stiff soles, which impede the natural movement of the feet, cause tiredness and back pain.
Let your feet breathe when you get home, put on slippers, or walk barefoot, preferably on dirt or sand. In addition to massaging them, you discharge energy from the sole of the foot and recharge with the energy of nature.
To avoid swollen feet, drink up to 8 glasses of water a day and handle the amount of salt in the food. Rest with your legs straight up, this helps to detach them. If you have severe pain, seek medical attention.
Massaging your feet with moisturizer daily or using foot serum twice a week are also great tips on how to have beautiful, healthy feet ready to show off.
