With the warm summer days finally arriving, it’s never been a better time to get outside and enjoy the weather. But if you’re like others suffering from dry feet, wearing sandals or flip-flops might fill you with dread.
Dry feet can be a result of many different things. For example, maybe you’ve been spending more time on your feet than usual, and you’re just tired and your feesome TLC. Or, a medical condition like diabetes or psoriasis could be to blame.
Whatever the cause, treatments are available to help soothe and repair your feet and get them sandal-ready in no time!
Keep Your Feet Clean – Clean feet are happier feet! Cleaning your feet removes any build-up of dead skin cells, dirt, and sweat that can lead to dryness.
Use A Moisturizer – A good foot cream or lotion can help lock in moisture and keep your feet hydrated. Look for products that contain ingredients like shea butter, urea, or glycerin, which are all known to be effective at treating dry skin.
Protect Your Feet – If you use public showers at the gym or a community swimming pool, always protect the bottom of your feet. These areas can be breeding grounds for foot fungus and athlete’s foot, so wearing flip-flops or water shoes is always wise. Further, if you’ll be walking on hot surfaces like sandy beaches, concrete sidewalks, or pool decks, you can avoid burning the bottom of your feet.
Foot Massage – Did you know there are millions of nerves in the bottom of your feet? Relax them with a foot massage and improve your circulation simultaneously. You can give yourself a foot massage, or if you want to pamper your feet, head to a spa for professional treatment.
Pumice Stone – This is a must-have tool for anyone suffering from dry feet. A pumice stone can help remove dead skin cells and callouses and help improve circulation. To use, wet your feet and gently rub the stone over any areas that are dry or rough.
Creams And Lotions – Regularly applying foot creams and lotions can help moisturize, deodorize, and protect your feet from further damage. Be sure to choose a foot cream or ointment that’s right for your needs. For example, if you have diabetes, you’ll want to select a foot cream specifically designed for people with diabetes.
Foot Soaks – Soaking your feet in warm water can help soften calluses and dead skin cells, making them easier to remove. Adding a drop of your favorite essential oils to your foot soak creates an extra relaxing experience.
