If you have some extra time on your hands but don’t want to go out for a pedicure, you can try applying some DIY at-home foot scrubs. Clean your feet first by soaking them in warm water filled with salt and lemon. This’ll help get rid of dead skin and dirt. Create a cooling scrub, using olive oil, tea tree oil, peppermint oil, and salt. Mashing bananas to create a banana mash to slather your feet in will also leave your skin feeling smooth. You can also create a moisturizer for your feet by combining vaseline, coconut oil, tea tree oil, and lemon juice.
Every day foot care is very important, especially for those that are lacking the proper foot care resources. For more information about everyday foot care, consult with Dr. Michael E. Newman of Pennsylvania. Our doctor will assist you with all of your foot and ankle needs.
Every Day Foot Care
Often, people take care of their bodies, face and hair more so than they do for their feet. But the feet are a very important aspect of our bodies, and one that we should pay more attention to. After all, without our feet, we would not be able to perform most daily tasks. It is best to check your feet regularly to make sure there are no new bruises or cuts that you may not have noticed before, for example.
For dry feet, moisturizer can easily be a remedy and can be applied as often as necessary to the affected areas. Wearing shoes that fit well can also help you maintain good foot health, as well as making it easier to walk and do daily activities without the stress or pain of ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or even flip flops.
Also, wearing clean socks with closed shoes is important to ensure that sweat and bacteria do not accumulate within the shoe. Clean socks help to prevent athlete’s foot, fungi problems, bad odors, and can absorb sweat.
