Take good care of your foot and your back will thank you too! It is the foot that provides support to the back
. Most of us fail to care for our foot while we spend hours caring for other parts of the body especially the face. Our foot bears the brunt of our body weight and without our foot we will never reach anywhere. So be thankful to your feet and give them the best possible care.
Foot care involves caring for every part of the foot like the toes, the toe nails, the heel and the entire foot as a whole. Foot hygiene is very important and keeping out foot clean becomes a necessity. The foot has to be given a thorough wash with soap and water to keep it scrupulously clean. While cleaning the foot ensure that care is taken to clean between the toes. Many of us fail to realize that dirt can hide itself between the toes and giving the toes a thorough scrub will help eliminate all the concealed dirt.
Accumulated dirt around the foot especially the hells can lead to cracked heels that can get infected and cause severe pain. To remove the dead hardened skin around the heels of the foot, use a pumice stone. After washing the feet thoroughly, ensure you wipe the foot with a dry towel and then apply some cream especially before you hit the bed. It pays to go in for a pedicure once a month where professionals will give your foot a good thorough cleaning and massage.
