Weekend Top 10 – Tips for Healthy and Beautiful Feet

Well looked after feet are not only attractive, but can also ward off hygiene related problems like corns and fungal diseases. Here are some tips for you to ensure your feet are always tip-top!

For many women, clean, beautiful, well-groomed feet are as important as their faces. And why not? After all, in a hot country like ours where we wear open toe sandals and slippers so often, our feet get plenty of exposure. This means they not only need to look good, but also require extra care.

Acquiring beautiful feet is not at all a tall order. A little regular care is allyou need to get attractive and alluring feet. Flaunt them in open sandals and walk with confidence.

10 Tips for Healthy and Beautiful Feet

Here are a few effective and important tips to make your feet beautiful and healthy:

1. Regular washing: Use a lukewarm mild soapy solution to wash your face on a regular basis. Dry them with a clean towel and apply a good foot nourishing cream evenly.
   
2. Dry toe-area: Whenever your feet are wet, be careful while drying them, especially between the toes.  This is important in order to prevent the growth of bacteria and microbes in that region.
3. Use foot scrubs: Regular scrubbing of the feet, particularly the heels, is important as it removes dead skin cells. Scrubbing softens the skin and makes it shine. Scrubbing should be followed by a massage with cream. Massage increases the blood circulation and relaxes your tired feet.
   
4. Use sunscreen: Apply sunscreen on your feet. Like your face, your feet too, require protection against harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.
5. Use good nail paint:  Paint your nails with good quality nail polish. Choose colours according to seasons. Pick light shades for summers and darker ones for winters.  You will be amazed to what a difference well-chosen nail paint can do to enhance the beauty of your feet.
   
6. Wash feet before going to bed: Before retiring to bed, make it a point to wash your feet, dry them and apply a moisturiser or a foot cream. Remember moisturiser or cream should not be applied in the toe area.
7.  Remove Calluses: An important part of a good foot care regimen is to remove calluses and corns. Use a pumice stone to remove the calluses and dead skin. Soak your feet in lukewarm, saline water for five minutes and then remove calluses. This practice will make your skin smooth and soft.
8. Trimming of toenails: Cut your toenails weekly and use a wooden blunt stick to push the cuticle. First soak feet in water for few minutes and then cut the toenails. Never cut the cuticle as it may pave way for infection.
   
9. Use anti-perspirant: Buy a good, branded anti-perspirant (not a deodorant) to prevent excessive sweating. Sweating leads to the growth of fungus. An anti-perspirant easily absorbs the excessive sweat. Use a shoe insert to avoid the problem of foot odour. This is possible because shoe inserts have charcoal as a key ingredient which is effective in absorbing odours.
10. Choose shoes wisely: While choosing shoes, first think of comfort. Style should come after comfort. Pay attention to shoes that give you a good fit and comfort, rather than those that look great on the shoe rack and are a nightmare to wear.

A Valuable Tip:

If you love swimming, use a good cream with tea tree oil as an ingredient. This will prevent your feet from various kinds of fungal infection you might get. If your feet become itchy, immediately consult a feet expert – the chiropodist.
