Foot Care Tips

March 16, 2009




pedicure-stepsWe tend to forget about our feet. Most of us think of them as oddly-shaped hunks of bone that are simply stuck to the ends of our legs. In an attempt to dress them up and make them more appealing, we will spend hours in a shoe store looking for the perfect pair of shoes, but we won’t spend ten minutes actually taking care of them.

The reality is that we should take better care of our feet. It isn’t that hard, and when our feet feel like they have been pampered, our view of the world is a little bit sunnier.

Soak Your Feet

One of the best natural ways to take care of your feet is to let them soak every single day. Fill a basin with warm water, add some foot soak, and just sit down and relax. The foot soak will allow the muscles in your feet, the same muscles that you have shoved into a pair of high heels, to relax. Many people even recommend adding a cup of marbles to your foot soak. Pushing your feet back and forth across these marbles will massage the bottoms of your feet.

Moisturize

Few of us realize that the bottoms of our feet don’t have any sweat glands. This might not seem like a big deal, but without the sweat glands, our feet can’t moisturize themselves. Every night you should coat your entire foot in moisturizer. You can use a special foot moisturizer or simply cover them in a thin layer of petroleum jelly. After moisturizing your feet, you should put on a pair of socks. The socks will help prevent the moisturizer from evaporating.

Buy the Right Size

Make sure that your shoes are properly fitted to your feet. Improperly-fitted shoes put too much strain on your foot and can lead to long-term problems. Before you put on your shoes, you should make sure that your socks are pulled on all the way and that they don’t have any wrinkles;, these wrinkles will cause you to develop a very nasty rub if they are ignored.

Treat Your Injuries

If you have a rub, blister, or cut on your foot make sure you treat it with an antiseptic cream two or three times a day until it has healed.
