Foot Care Tips

Below, we discuss a few tips that you must take in order to care for your lovely feet. Read on.

Wash Your Feet Every Day

Always wash your feet with warm water every day. Next, dry your feet, including in between your toes.

Keep Your Skin Soft And Smooth.

Soon after drying your feet, rub a thin coat of moisturising lotion over your feet. Don’t forget to rub the bottoms of the feet too. Also, rubbing in between your toes is also very important.

Wear Shoes and Socks at All Times

This protects from the hot and cold. Always wear comfortable shoes for protection.

Ensure Blood Keeps Flowing to Your Feet

Whenever you sit, put your feet up. Also, move your feet up and down for about 5 minutes, 3 times a day. Furthermore, wiggle your toes whenever you can throughout the day. We also recommend that you don’t cross your legs for very long periods. Not only that, STOP smoking! It’s bad for not only your heart but your feet too.

Be Active Enough

You need to work out your feet now and again. Furthermore, ask your doctor to plan a physical activity program with you.

Visit the Doctor

Now and again, you should get your feet checked by the doctor. The doctor will determine if you’re likely to have any serious foot problems or not. Keep in mind that you may not actually feel any pain beforehand. Also, if a bruise, cut, blister or sore doesn’t start healing after a day; call your doctor right away. Don’t forget to follow the doctor’s advice about caring for your feet.
