It is a natural instinct for people to want to wear sandals and flip flops in warm weather conditions. However, it is important that your feet are taken care of before you choose to show them off in the sun. One of the biggest foot care tips you should follow is moisturization. You should always moisturize your feet in order to prevent dry and cracked feet. Coconut oil is a great moisturizer for those who opt to go the natural route. In order to avoid dry feet, you can also periodically exfoliate them to remove any dead skin. A mixture of coconut oil, honey, and brown sugar can be made in order to give you smooth and renewed feet. For more tips on taking care of your feet, consult with your podiatrist.

Everyday foot care is very important to prevent infection and other foot ailments. If you need your feet checked, contact one of our podiatrists from Sutera and Jones Surgical Podiatry. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

Everyday Foot Care

Often, people take care of their bodies, face and hair more so than they do for their feet. But the feet are a very important aspect of our bodies, and one that we should pay more attention to. Without our feet, we would not be able to perform most daily tasks.

It is best to check your feet regularly to make sure there are no new bruises or cuts that you may not have noticed before. For dry feet, moisturizer can easily be a remedy and can be applied as often as necessary to the affected areas. Wearing shoes that fit well can also help you maintain good foot health, as well as making it easier to walk and do daily activities without the stress or pain of ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or even flip flops. Wearing clean socks with closed shoes is important to ensure that sweat and bacteria do not accumulate within the shoe. Clean socks help to prevent Athlete’s foot, fungi problems, bad odors, and can absorb sweat.
