What Are The Ways To Make Your Feet Feel Better?

Your Fabulous Feet

It's hard to get anywhere without them as they are easy to take for granted. It can be tough to concentrate on anything else when they hurt. To keep them at their best, pamper your feet. 

Keep An Eye On Them

If you ignore them, small problems can turn into big ones as your feet take a beating every day. For cuts, sores, loose or discoloured toenails, swelling, or rashes look over your feet each day. 

Wash Them

They sweat when you are walking, or when they are working. They are a warm, moist place that‘s ideal for fungus when the cracks and crevices between your toes are trapped in your shoes. Thereafter they can lead to things like athlete’s foot. The water shouldn’t be too hot, between 90 and 95 degrees is best and don’t forget to get between your toes when you wash your feet. 

Keep Them Dry

Many people don’t dry their feet the right way as it may seem obvious. Whereas this is just not the tops and bottoms: where the fungus is most likely to cause problems you should get between your toes. 

Use Powder

To help keep them dry sprinkle corn-starch or talcum powder on them after you dry your feet. You can try special medicated foot powders that help with itching too in case you have athlete’s foot or some other infection. 

Don’t Soak Them

Soaking your feet for long periods can lead to dry, cracked skin that can cause pain, sores, and even infection whereas it may feel good at the time. By washing, drying, powdering and repeating and leave it at that. You can save the soaking for your beans!

Keep Them Soft

Put a thin coat of it on the tops and bottoms of your feet whatever moisturiser you prefer, be it lotions, cream, or petroleum jelly. Where too much moisture can cause trouble make sure to rub it all the way in and skip between your toes. 

Trim Your Toenails

You may be wanting to cut them straight across. Don’t angle them as you can smooth the corners with an emery board or nail file. Leading to infection can cause your toenails to grow into your skin which is painful. If you can’t see reach, or feel your feet or your toenails are thick, yellowed, or grown into your skin have a foot doctor trim them.

Keep Blood Flowing

For 5 minutes at a time, wiggle your toes a couple of times a day. To help even more move your ankles around to help even more. As it can mess with your blood flow don’t cross your legs for long periods or wear tight socks.

Stretch Your Feet

Helping manage painful conditions similar to plantar fasciitis which is an injury to the sole that comes from overuse are foot stretches and massage with a ball or roller that are good for your feet. About which stretches are right for you, talk to your doctor or physical therapist. 

Smooth Corns And Calluses

On these, you can use a special kind of stone called pumice. Rub the stone gently over the area after you bathe or shower. As they can cause infection, don’t cut them or use corn plasters, liquid corn, or callus removers. Make sure the footbaths and tools are clean and that the technician washes her hands between clients if you have this done as a part of a pedicure at a salon.

Get The Right Shoes

It's best to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are largest when you need a new pair. Don’t expect them to stretch as making sure that there’s plenty of room for your toes and they fit when you get them. High heels and shoes with pointed toes are hard on your feet as pretty as they are 

Be Active

Leading to healthier feet, just a few minutes of activity a day can help your blood flow. Unless you want to, you don’t have to run a marathon. It will work when you go walking, biking, swimming, dancing, and even gardening. Ask your doctor if you are not sure what’s right for you and get the right kind of supportive shoes for your activity. 

Protect Them From The Elements

Protect them from sunburn and keep your feet safe from the hot pavement in the summer with sandals or shoes. That’s commonplace to get a burn whereas many people overlook the top of their feet when they put on sunscreen. Lined boots are your feet’s best friend in the cold of winter. 

Lastly, Special Care: Diabetes

Especially if you have pain, numbness, changes in the shape of your feet, or sores that don’t heal, its even more important to take care of your feet if you have diabetes. Damaging nerves in your feet the condition lowers blood flow. To make sure you are doing all you can for them, you may need to talk with a foot doctor, a podiatrist.
