Take Care Of Your Feet}

Submitted by: Katie Y. Brooks

Our feet carry us the whole day but we rarely give a thought to them. Most of us have daily skin care routines but only a few have a feet care routine. This is really sad as it is our feet that keep us moving every day. If we dont take good care of them sooner or later they will make their presence felt in an ungainly manner. One fine day you may realize you have unsightly feet which are killing with you pain.

Your hygiene can not be complete without the clean feet. When you dont wash your feet regularly they may end up smelly and become breeding grounds for bacteria and fungus. Get yourself a stiff bristle scrubber and scrub your feet thoroughly everyday. Wash them thoroughly. If you dont rinse your feet properly, the soap residue might cause irritation.

The best and the most simple way to keep your feet germ free and fresh is to soak them in lukewarm water at the end of every day. Do remember to scrub them first so as to remove the grime. This makes sure that you go to bed with clean feet. It also helps to remove the bacteria that you may have collected through the day. This is the minimum that you can do for your feet everyday but if you have the time then treat them through some great care.

Be careful about your footwear. Hard or tight fitting footwear will cause painful corns and blisters. If you need to walk a lot during the day stick to comfortable shoes or may be even walking shoes. This is common sense and yet you frequently meet people who are suffering from feet problems due to their uncomfortable footwear.

Jus as you moisturize the rest of your body; you need to moisturize your feet. You may want special foot cream to keep you feet soft and beautiful. Your feet take a lot of toll throughout the day and deserve special care. Moisturize them well or you may soon end up with dry feet that may crack. In case you have cracked feet take good care as these can get infected easily. Take special care if you are diabetic as these cracks can easily lead to severe health problems. If you have a healthy skin but really dry feet you will need to lather them with a petroleum product before retiring to bed. Wear cotton socks after applying the petroleum product.

Once you have completed the night care routine for your feet with scrubbing, rinsing and moisturizing your feet should feel nice and comfortable. If they are still itching it could mean that you have a fungal infection like athletes feet. This fungal function is very irritating and can cause a lot of itching and burning sensations in your feet. You may want to use an over the counter anti-fungal cream. Regular topical applications should cure the problem.

Do not forget your toe nails. Clean them and trim carefully. Cut straight across and keep them short to avoid injuries or ingrown nails. Take care of your feet at night so that they may take care of you through the day.
