Smelly Feet – Blame The Bacteria

Asknip — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 16:29:39 +0000

There are two simple and straight forward reasons for having smelly feet one is the kind of shoe you wear and the other is the sweating of your feet. Sweating is an important process which helps to maintain our body temperature. It helps to remove waste products from our body, but sometime these smells become unbearable. Some individuals perspire more than the required amount to cool the body. This is known as Hyperhidrosis. Every foot has more than 250,000 sweat glands, so you can imagine why your foot smells so bad. The main reason for this kind of smell is because of the bacteria. As the bacteria feeds on the sweat it excretes waste in the form of malodorous odor. You can come across different feet smell due to the presence of various bacterial species. Some of the common smells are cheesy and trainer smell.

Self-Care Measures

• Maintain a good hygiene by bathing your feet daily with lukewarm water for the removal of bacteria.

• To avoid such kind of smell wash your feet with anti-bacterial soap

• Wear clean and dry socks and change them daily

• Always wear cotton socks which absorbs the sweat more generously

• Do not wear the same shoe everyday. Give your shoe at least a 24-hour breather to remove that smell.

• To replace the odor you can place in your shoe odor-eater-type of shoe inserts

• Apply antiperspirant on your feet

Home Remedies for Smelly Feet

• Before wearing your shoes, you can dust your feet with baby powder to minimize sweating

• Chronic foot odor can be dealt by soaking your feet in strong black tea for 30 minutes a day for a week. The tannic acid present in the tea kills the bacteria and closes the pores to keep your feet dry for a longer period.

• Soak your feet in black tea made with two teabags for per pint of water. Once soaked for 15 minutes, alternately soak in a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water.

• In two quarts of warm water mix two tablespoons of Epsom salt to have clean and clear feet which also keeps your feet dry.

How to Easily Beat Back Smelly Feet

Asknip — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:04:21 +0000

Having sweaty and smelly feet is something that no man or woman ever wants to experience. However, this problem is actually more common that you think. In fact, almost everyone has probably experienced having foul-smelling feet at least once in his life.If you experience smelly feet occasionally, you don’t have to worry. There is just something you did that caused this problem. And avoiding such thing can reverse your condition. However, if you have persistent foot odor woes, then you must take your situation seriously. Since you cannot wear closed shoes forever, you better start finding ways to get rid of that smell as soon as possible.Manage With HygieneIn many instances, foot odor can actually be prevented with proper hygiene. First, you need to wash your feet with soap and water regularly. Many people, especially those who are perpetually in a hurry, tend to forget to wash their feet while on the shower. In order not to miss cleaning your feet, you ought to make it a habit to soap your feet first.Aside from cleaning your feet, you also need to take particular attention to your socks and footwear. Make sure that you always use clean socks. Do not ever re-use your socks unless it is a matter of life and death. It is also important for you to refrain from using the same footwear for two consecutive days. Give your shoes some time to breathe and dry. You may also want to invest in shoe sprays or cleaning materials that will help keep foot odor away.Boot Odor With A Foot SoakIf you have sweaty hands, there is a big possibility that you will also have sweaty feet. And we know that this is one of the major causes of the stinky smell of your feet and shoes. One way to help alleviate the problem is by soaking your feet in grapefruit seed extract and vinegar solution (one cup of vinegar and a few drops of the grapefruit seed extract in basin filled with lukewarm water) for about ten to twenty minutes. However, do not use this solution if you have a wound or broken skin on your feet. Do this daily for about 7 to 14 days and you will see huge improvement.Know The RootMore often than not, the foul odor is caused by bacterial or fungal infestation. In order for you to eliminate the problem, you need to know what the underlying cause of your stinky feet is.If bacteria caused the problem, then the grapefruit seed extract and vinegar solution mentioned above can be very helpful. You may also want to minimize your intake of red meats, such as lambs, beef, and pork because bacteria love animal fat. It may be a good idea for you to eat more vegetables and fruits while you are trying to get rid of the bacteria that produces foul odor in your feet.If the root of the problem is fungi, which is also very likely, you need to find ways to get rid of them immediately because they can spread easily. In fact, the microbes that are responsible for athlete’s foot, which is a fungal infection that causes stinky feet, can also infect your nails. Furthermore, if your roommate or partner has this problem, there is a huge probability that you will get the fungal infection as well. You can eliminate athlete’s foot by using over-the-counter anti-fungal creams.If you already have nail fungus, you better start addressing the problem immediately because nail fungal infection is one of the hardest to eliminate. One product that can help you beat nail fungus is Somasin. If you want to know more about how Somasin can help you eradicate nail fungus fast, simply log on to http://www.somasin.com

3 Steps To Beautiful Stress Free Feet

Asknip — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:04:08 +0000

Are you walking on stress free feet? Make sure you take a little stress out of your busy life by taking care of your feet with these 3 simple, yet essential steps.
Everyone is living a fast paced life these days. With all the stress and things to handle, do we always take the time out to care about our feet? More often than not, the answer to that questions is no. We are always on our feet, and yet we neglect to give them the care they need, which if given would reduce a little bit of their stress from our every day lives. This article lists 3 simple and fast ways for us to care for our feet, making them look better and feel better.
1. Exfoliate the stress our of those toes
Hard skin accumulates naturally on different parts on the body, especially at the base of our feet. When too much hard skin accumulates, it sometimes also becomes quite painful to wear certain shoes and make certain moves. To prevent too much hard skin for accumulating it is important that we exfoliate the feet with a gentle scrub. Different kinds and brand of scrubs are available to use, made especially for the feet and which come in different scents. Choose your favourite scent to relax yourself whilst you massage your feet with the scrub. If you’re lucky, get your partner to do this for you! For better scrubbing try using a pumice, as this will help get rid of that hard skin more effectively. You will be amazed how relaxing scrubbing your feet will feel, and moreover how soft and smooth your feet will feel afterwards. Scrubbing will also make your feet and legs feel lighter, reducing the stress your feet feel. I recommend this scrubbing exercise at least twice a week to make the stress free feeling last long.
2. Moisturise for a silky smooth finish
After the scrubbing exercise is complete, continue showing your feet some tender loving care by applying a nice moisturising lotion to them. Again, if your partner is around, or perhaps even a friend, get them to help you our. You can even give each other these mini pedicures so that you make sure both of you are running on stress free feet. Massage the moisturising lotion well to both your feet, do not rush too much as you need to savour the moment and relax while you can.
3. Color your beautiful toes
Now although this last step applies only for the ladies (and also those adventurous men), all the guys should listen up and take notes so that they will be able to give their partner a complete mini pedicure. The final step of our quickly and stress relieving pedicure is the application of nail polish to the toe-nails. I always stress that nail polish should be applied to the toe-nails, at least a clear colored one, as this final step make a world of a difference. It makes your feet look very well groomed and well taken care of, which also show that you take the time to take care of yourself. This final step comes especially handy in the summer-time when a lot of open-toe shoes are worn. Therefore go for your favourite color and apply nail polish to your toe-nails! For long lasting nail polish I always recommend first applying a base coat, as this both protects your nail and ensure the nail polish lasts longer. After applying the base coat, apply one or two coats of your favourite nail polish. Finally, once the nail polish has dried off a little bit, apply a clear top coat. Besides giving your toe-nails that shiny look, the top coast also helps the nail polish last much longer.
These 3 simple yet essential steps take very little time to put into practice, and the after-effect you will enjoy will last a long time. Take a little stress out of your daily life, by taking a little extra care of your feet. Ensure that you are walking on stress free feet!

Take Care of Your Precious Feet

Asknip — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:57:16 +0000

Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, was the first to admit that “When feet hurt, we hurt all over.” But whether or not you have experienced any type of physical discomfort associated with your feet, you have certainty witnessed people suffering from sore feet and constantly complaining about the swelling or the pain they had to endure. In fact, taking care of your feet and wearing the appropriate shoes in relation to your activities can keep your feet healthy and leave your friend’s ears at rest.

Although some changes in the feet are normal with aging, other changes may indicate serious disorders. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons recognizes the importance of taking good care of your feet and suggests that all should invest time and effort in feet grooming and careful shoe-buying. As it is estimated that more than 70 percent of all people in the United States will have foot problems at some point during their lifetime, it is of extreme importance to prevent foot pain, disorders, and other foot problems, by performing some simple foot-care practices. Since foot pain is not considered as being a normal feeling, preventing foot pain by exercising and paying attention to the signs they give, can help us keep them healthy and strong for years.

Employ a daily routine for your feet and start by washing them in warm and not hot water. Try not to soak your feet more than ten minutes and dry them well afterwards. Pay special attention to the toes and the skin in-between as cracks and dryness can allow bacteria to grow and increase the risk of infection. Especially if your skin is dry, use a skin lotion that can soften the hard surfaces and help your feet absorb and keep longer the needed hydration. It is of vital importance to always cut your nails straight across and never too short, as these areas can develop funguses that produce rather unpleasant odors apart from destroying the nail itself. Of course change your socks or stockings daily and avoid wearing them when they are too short or tight. Finally, in case your feet are sweaty or are prone to athlete’s foot, use the appropriate powder daily and wear shoes that are made from natural substances, like leather or canvas. Avoid buying shoes made from synthetic materials that are not able to “breath” since the foot problems you suffer from will persist or even develop further.

Because feet spread with age, make sure to measure your feet every time you decide to go shopping for shoes and select to perform such tasks during the evening, as feet swell to their largest by that time of the day. Always check the heels of the shows you are interested in buying so as to ensure that they fit properly and also that the instep does not gape open. Women should know that although high heels may be fashionable or make feet look good they should not be worn for long period of time or while walking long distances. Cramped toes and bad body posture are usually the outcomes of badly selected shoe-heels. When shopping for your precious feet, always remember that comfort and function have to come before style.

Give Your Feet a Treat and Enjoy Life More

Asknip — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:08:49 +0000

Most skin care efforts done by people are aimed for the face and neck. If you look at the products that are sold in the market, you will realize that 90% of these skin care and beauty products are for the face, eyes and lips. However, it is important for everyone to know that the skin goes way beyond the face.

Remember, you also need to take care of your arms, body and even you legs. According to studies, however, one part of the body that most people forget about is the feet. But come to think of it, your feet are the ones that carry all your weight while you are walking, standing, skipping and running. Many of the activities you now do will not be possible if your feet are not healthy.

So, if you want to enjoy life to the fullest, you can start by spending more time in taking care of your feet. Here are some of the ways in which you can give your feet a treat:

Exfoliate

Your face and body are not the only places in which exfoliation can be beneficial. Your feet also accumulate dead skin cells so you need to make sure that you slough them off to make the skin of your legs and feet smoother and softer. The ingredients that you need to look for when buying an exfoliation product for your feet include lactic, urea and alpha hydroxy acids. You may also want an exfoliation cream to have tiny beads for more effective scrubbing and sloughing of rough areas in your feet.

Use Sunscreen

Again, many people concentrate on putting sun block or sunscreen on their face. However, if you are wearing shorts, skirts and open shoes or sandals, you ought to put sunscreen on your feet and legs too. In fact, a lot of cases of skin cancer happen in the feet or leg area because people often forget that these areas can also be susceptible to harmful rays.

Thus, do not forget to wear sunscreen, particularly during the summer. Besides, you really need sun protection to prevent wrinkles and premature aging.

Moisturize

During winter, you need to put extra efforts in making sure that the skin on your feet and legs are well hydrated. Even if your feet and legs are not exposed to the snow or rain, they can still be oppressed by the cold and chill.It may be a good idea to find a lotion or moisturizer that has essential oils, such as coconut oil or olive oil. Furthermore, it may be a wise idea to apply the lotion immediately after taking a bath or shower for maximum absorption.

Treat Your Scaly Feet

According to dermatologists, a lot of people are not aware that the scaly skin they see underneath their feet may already be a sign of fungal infection. If after you exfoliate and moisturize you still see scaly skin and dryness on the soles of your feet, you may already be suffering from fungal woes.

Better head to a dermatologist, especially if your feet are smelly, to confirm if you need to take medications for you fungal problem. It is also important to note that fungal woes on your feet can be transferred to your toenails, so you need to be extra careful.

Mind Your Pedicure

Toenails are not meant to be long. Unless you are intending to be in the Guinness Book of World Records as the person who has the longest toenail, you need to trim your nails regularly.You also need to pay attention to slight changes in your toenails. If you see that your nails are easy to break and slightly discolored, you may already be suffering from nail fungus. You can eliminate this problem safely and effectively by using Somasin, an anti-fungal product. For more details about Somasin, visit http://www.somasin.com/.

Sore Feet – Foot Pain – The Simple Facts And The Cures

Asknip — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 02:03:36 +0000

What is Sore Feet – Foot Pain: Sore feet is a very common problem that effects millions accross the planet Earth, making simple things such as standing, walking, running, or working, almost a nightmare, because of the pain and discomfort involved.
What causes Sore Feet – Foot Pain: The most frequent cause of heel or arch pain is plantar fasciitis. This is inflammation of the plantar fascia, the tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. A symptom is sharp pain in the arch when getting up in the morning or after prolonged inactivity. Wearing shoes with little arch or heel support, too much physical activity, going barefoot and being overweight all can contribute to the condition. People with flat feet or with very high arches that flatten when they stand up are at higher risk for foot pain problems.
Sore Feet – Foot Pain – Symptoms: Foot pain can start after you have stood for a long time, or while walking or working. My feet got so bad that they ached day and night. At work I got to the point where I could hardly walk, and when I rested they continued aching for a long time. The pain got so severe it threatened my job, my family activities and almost everything that I enjoyed doing. The first symptoms are often what feels like a burning or hot foot, this often occurs before developing into a foot pain problem.
Sore Feet – Foot Pain – Treatment: The first step in treating foot pain is usualy to take a trip to the local store and buy some inserts, like Doctor Shoals. If you foot pain continues, visit a podiatrist. The podiatrist may give you a shot of ‘cortizone’ in the foot to stop the pain, or he/she may recommend that you have custom ‘orthotic inserts’ made. There are numerous creams and rub’s you can also try, but I never had any real relief with them, it seemed they warmed or heated the skin or made my feet smell good, but the creams etc never penetrated the skin or made it’s way to the inflamed areas. Also, you may be placed on medication to relieve the pain if it’s severe.
Sore Feet – Foot Pain – Prevention: Treat your feet good and they will probably be good to you. Buy and wear shoes that are not only comfortable but ones that have arch support and cushioning. If the shoes are hard to walk on or provide little cushioning, buy some inserts like Doctor Shoals. The biggest factor I found in my battle with foot pain is weight. If you are overweight you are asking for foot pain.
Sore Feet – Foot Pain: My Personal Story and solutions – I have worked at the same job site since 1978, and my job requires constant walking and standing all day, and the floors are hard where I work, just tile over concrete. My feet started aching over time, at first I hardly noticed it. I would finish my day at work, and notice my feet were kinda sore. Over the next year or so, by the end of the day my feet were aching bad by the end of the work day. I started looking around for different types of shoes and sneakers, and started buying inserts. The new shoes and inserts worked fine for a few months or so, then the pain started coming back, and got much worse.
I made an appointment to see a local podiatrist. The first thing my podiatrist did was take some xrays of my feet, what came back was not pretty. She showed me where my feet had large areas that showed up very white on the film. She said all of this was areas that were inflammed and painful, and she was right, by this time I could barely walk.
The next thing my podiatrist did was measure my feet and made plaster casts. From these castings she ordered special inserts for my shoes ‘orthotic inserts’. These were not cheap, this was almost 10 years ago, and they costed around $300 for the pair. A couple weeks later my orthopedic inserts arrived, they were hard and were made out of fiberglass. They didn’t bend or flex any, but were molded to fit the shape of my feet. After a few days of walking in them my feet felt wonderful, all of my foot pain went away. I was living again with no foot pain for a couple years, when suddenly my pain started returning with a vengance.
I was wearing my orthotic inserts, wearing good shoes, wearing doctor shoals under my custom inserts and my feet were aching more and more. In time I could hardly walk, my job performance and lifestyle started going downhill fast. When I got home from work, all I wanted to do was sit, and even them my feet ached badly for hours. By this time my weight had ballooned to over 300 pounds. I went on a diet and in a years time, I had lost slightly over 100 pounds. My foot pain completely left, and to this day, almost 3 years later, I still have none. So I know from personal experience, watch your weight, that is probably the biggest factor in causing foot pain problems.

How to Stop Smelly Feet

Asknip — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:09:35 +0000

Smelly feet aren’t much fun for anyone but there are some simple things you can do to make sure your feet stay fresh.

Medically known as bromidrosis, stinky feet can be a bit embarrassing and unpleasant for you and everyone around you. But there are simple things you can do to stop your feet from getting smelly in the first place, or to clear up the problem.

What can I do to prevent it?

Why do your feet smell?

Your feet smell for two reasons: you wear shoes and your feet sweat.

Every day your feet produce an eggcup’s worth of sweat, which is absorbed by your shoes. At the end of the day, you take your shoes off and store them in a dark cupboard, where bacteria and fungi break down that sweat. The next day you put your shoes back on, complete with all that decomposed sweat, so it’s no wonder your feet get a bit smelly.

Helpful Tips For Caring For Sore Feet

Asknip — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:15:39 +0000

The human foot is really an amazing thing. Did you know it has more than a hundred tendons, muscles, twenty-six bones and oh yes, ligaments too. So why don’t we all spend more time taking care of our feet?

So is caring for sore feet a big deal? Yes, actually it is. In fact, many experts do suggest that when you visit your health care professional, you need to remove your socks so they can check your feet along with the rest of you.

A little known fact is that when your have pain in your feet, this can set off pain in other places of your body like your back. The pain can travel into your legs and on up to your hips. Pain in your feet can even be a sign of a disease.

Proper care of your sore feet not only means you will be more comfortable, but you will prevent more serious problems down the road. Older individuals will over time suffer from aching and burning feet just because of their advancing years.

Younger individuals who spend their day on their feet need to take good care of them. Caring for sore feet is a pretty simple process but many people neglect their foot care needs. Some of this is due to not understanding the necessity to take proper care of their feet and some of this is probably because of the fast paced, hectic lives most people lead today.

There are a lot of articles written and dedicated to the care of feet and most of the ideas are similar. All of them suggest four basic but important things to do for your feet. Here are the four suggestions for proper foot care.

One is of course to keep your feet very clean. When you wash your feet use warm water and something that will serve to scrub them gently like a wash cloth. When you dry your feet be sure to dry in between each toe carefully. If you don’t you are subject to getting a very unpleasant condition called ‘athlete’s foot’.

The second is to elevate your feet letting the blood flow away from your feet and ankles to relieve any stress caused from excessive standing and walking during the day. The third is to soak your feet in a warm foot bath tub with baths salts added. They say Epson Salts will actually dry out your skin so bath salts or oils might be better.

And finally, after all this is done, you should use a non-greasy spray that is made of natural ingredients. This should be done periodically during the day. The best product to use is one that is a blend of peppermint oil, menthol oil and camphor oil that is quick to dry.

Finding Relief for Your Aching Feet

Asknip — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:05:29 +0000

When most people get home from a long day they generally take their shoes off and get their feet up. At the end of the day most people will find that their shoes feel snugger than they did when they put them on. Their feet feel hot and tired. What they are looking for is some relief for their aching feet. Gravity is responsible for all of this aching and discomfort. Even people who sit all day find that the fluids and blood in the body will pool in their legs and feet making them swollen and painful. This effect is increased for people who stand or walk all day long. It is because of this that podiatrists recommend you shop for new shoes in the later part of the day when your feet are swollen.

There are many jobs that aggravate your feet during the day. Traffic police, teachers, salespeople, nurses, postal workers and anyone who is standing and walking during the course of their job will find that their feet ache at the end of the day. People who dance and participate in athletic activities will also find that their feet take a beating and produce soreness and aching at the end of the day. Whether it is because of a job or your activities, most people will suffer from tired aching feet at the end of the day. They will want to find the most effective and quick remedy to relieve their sore foot.

The quickest way to find some relief is to sit in a comfortable chair and put your feet up. They should be elevated at least as high as your hips. Take your shoes off and any socks or stockings that you are wearing that are keeping your circulation bound. You are trying to use gravity now to relieve some of the damage that it caused earlier. You should keep your feet elevated for at least thirty minutes to give the swelling a chance to go down. While you have your feet up you should wiggle your toes and point your feet to get rid of any cramping that may be occurring in your aching feet. This also helps the pooled fluids move out of your foot. You can put your feet up and watch the news on television and still be taking care of your tired sore feet at the same time.

Once the swelling has gone down you should fill a tub with warm comfortable water. There are footbaths available now that have a whirlpool function. If you really want to pamper your feet, add some Epsom salts or bath salts to the water. You should soak your sore feet for at least thirty minutes.

Once you have finished soaking your feet you should lift them out of the water one at a time and scrub them with a gentle soap and bath brush. Wash your feet carefully between the toes and all around. Rinse the soap off completely and pat the foot dry with a towel. This is a good time to cut your toenails or treat the cuticles. They will be nice and soft from the soaking. Now you should rub in a good quality foot lotion into the muscles of your feet. While you are rubbing your feet make sure that you pay particular attention to the balls and heels of your feet as well as your ankles and arches. Take the time to work on each toe and you will feel the ache and tension just float away from your feet.

For the best care of your feet you should pay attention to your shoes. You should have at least two pair of shoes that fit you well and are comfortable enough to wear to work. You should make sure you alternate between the shoes so that they have a good amount of time to dry out in between wearing. You can reduce the odor on your feet and shoes by wearing socks that are absorbent and using a foot spray deodorant. These sprays are perfect for any time that you want a little quick relief from your sore aching feet.

At the end of your busy day, take a little time to give yourself the special treatment that your sore feet and legs need. You worked hard all day to get those aching feet, you deserve this special treat.

Foot Soaks for Your Painful Feet

Asknip — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:48:03 +0000

If you spend a great deal of time on your feet, you know that when your feet hurt you feel miserable. Treating your painful feet can help you get rid of the pain and may help prevent serious problems with your feet. Soaking your feet can help to increase your circulation and promote the relaxation of your aching muscles. It is also great for the skin on your feet. After a soak your feet will feel better and you will be able to get on with your day. If you have pain that will not subside you should check with your doctor before you use any type of product that is for the treatment of painful feet. This is most important for those with diabetes. If your feet are swollen it can be the effect of a hot and humid day, or it could be a sign of a serious condition. You should be aware of the cause of your painful swollen feet before you attempt to treat them.

Some foot conditions can be treated very simply with a foot soak and a massage with a good foot lotion. Corns and calluses are two examples of these conditions. When you have built up skin that is thick and has developed over a period of time, you are suffering from calluses. The padding on the bottom of our feet becomes thin, as we age and calluses are a natural response to this thinning. You can also see calluses on the balls of the feet. Even calluses can be a sign of a serious condition, so if you have chronic pain in your feet you should seek the attention of a podiatrist. A podiatrist can remove the thick calluses on your feet. If your calluses are minor you can effectively treat them with a foot soak, which will soften the skin on your feet. Use a pumice stone after your soak to rid your feet of the calluses. If you follow up this treatment with a foot lotion you will find that your sore and painful feet feel much better. Adding pads to your shoes can also be a way to relieve the pain of calluses and other foot conditions.

Women under thirty are the prime targets for corns. Corns are a very common foot condition and can be quite painful. It is most likely women’s shoes that cause the problem in women. Corns are actually calluses that have formed in small specific areas of the foot. Most often they are seen in the toe area where there is friction. For the effective treatment of corns a foot soak should be done every day. Use a pumice stone to remove the corns and follow with a foot lotion. If you practice this treatment every day and wear shoes that do not pinch your feet along with pads made for corns over the corn you will effectively treat your painful corns. It is a great way to relax at the end of the day.

For more generalized pain in the feet a foot soak with other treatment aids can help your feet feel less tired and painful. There are foot products that treat your feet with botanicals that are great for your feet and your emotional well-being. Massage therapy has often used botanical products to produce a feeling of well-being and the health of the patient. These are the same effects that are being sought after with the use of botanicals in the treatment of your feet. For the treatment of other conditions of the feet like athlete’s foot a good healthy foot soak is perfect.

The use of peppermint has been used to promote the clearing of the mind and your emotions. It is also great for treating muscle aches and can be used for the treatment of painful feet. Lavender, juniper, and rosemary can also be combined to be a powerful treatment for pain and has been used in sports medicine. Aromatherapy has combined the effects of these botanicals to produce effective treatments and foot soaks that clear the mind and soothe the feet.

At the end of a hard day on your feet, try soaking your feet in warm or cool water and soak for at least fifteen minutes. Pat your feet dry instead of rubbing them with a towel. Apply your foot lotion when your feet are dry.
