One needs to take proper care of the feet by washing and scrubbing them properly, moisturising them on a regular basis, and so on. At the same time, one needs to wear comfortable shoes, which allow the feet to relax and breathe easily. Read on to explore some foot care tips.

Tips

*Wash feet on a daily basis with lukewarm soapy water. Thereafter, rinse them with cool water, dry with a towel and apply foot cream.

*Whenever you get your feet wet, make sure to dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes.

*The best time to buy shoes is later in the day, when the feet are a bit swollen. The shoes that feel comfortable at that time will surely be comfy at all times of the day.

*If, and when, you go out in the sun wearing sandals, make sure to apply a sunscreen on your feet, just like the rest of your exposed body parts.

*Scrub your feet, especially the heels, with a foot scrubber on a regular basis. It will help remove the dead cells and make you feet softer.

*Before going to bed, wash feet thoroughly, dry them with a towel and apply moisturiser generously, especially at the heels.

*Whenever you are applying moisturiser or cream on your feet, avoid the area between the toes.

*To keep your feet dry and odour free, make use of products like foot powders, foot sprays and specially designed insoles.
