Taking care pf feet is very important because will prevent you from getting foot conditions such as Athlete's foot or other fungal infections. During the hotter months, for example, your feet are constantly visible due to footwear choices such as sandals and slippers, so it would be a good idea to keep them looking fabulous and presentable. Here are some useful steps in taking care of your feet and toenails, which will get you to putting your best feet forward -- literally -- in no time.
1Wash your feet daily: With all the running about from place to place that most people do each day, the feet would have been exposed to a lot of dirt and dust by the end of the day.If you take showers in the morning and not at night, at least make feet-washing a part of your nightly routine when you get home. Lather up with soap, and pay extra attention to the spaces in between the toes. Wipe the feet gently with a towel afterward.
2 Give pedicure to your feet every two week: Painting them does not necessarily have to be part of every pedicure routine, but regular pedicures really make a difference in keeping your feet soft and free from dry and rough skin, and your toenails clean and neat. You don't need to spend a lot of cash to have your pedicure professionally done in a salon, and with a few tools, you can do your own pedicure right in the comforts of your own home.
3 Apply polish to your toenails if necessary: Do this after you have done your pedicure, so that you have a smooth, clean base for the polish to go on to.
Moisturize your feet every day. Put lotion or foot cream on as a part of your routine. One way to achieve soft, moisturized feet is to rub on some lotion or petroleum jelly before bed, and slip on some socks.
Warning:
If you have diabetes, take extra care when exfoliating, cutting your toenails or when pushing back your cuticles during a pedicure. Make sure that you do not injure yourself to prevent the risk of any infection.
