Foot Care Tips

Your feet are your connection to the planet, and deserve the same pampering as the rest of your body – maybe even more so. Don’t overlook them in your daily skin care routine. Here are some tips for healthy, happy feet:

Be sure to wear sunblock on your feet when at the beach.
When you’re moisturizing after a shower, sit down and put some lotion on your feet. Work it in with a firm circular motion to stimulate circulation.
Always wear properly fitting shoes. Don’t sacrifice comfort for fashion.
Treat rough, calloused areas with a natural Aloe vera-based product that helps hydrate dry skin, and slough away dead skin.
Cut your toenails straight across, never at an angle.
Avoid walking barefoot to keep your feet injury-free.
Wear the right shoes for the activity you’re engaged in (running shoes for running for example).
Don’t ignore foot pain, it could mean there’s a bigger problem than just discomfort lurking.
Be cautious when using home remedies for foot ailments; self-treatment can often turn a minor problem into a major one.
Put your feet up at least once a day. It’ll ease your soles and your mind.
