6 Steps For Maintaining Your Feet At Home

For those of you who wish
to care for and maintain your
feet in between trips to see
your pedicurist, here are
The International Pedicure
Associations top tips:

   1. Wash your feet with a mild
    soap and water, rinse and dry
    well being sure to dry between
    the toes.

2. Moisturize feet using a product that is readily absorbed into the skin
such as urea-based rather than an oil-based product/salve/ointment
that coats the skin and leaves it feeling soft, but slippery.

3. Do not cut nails down into the corners, rather cut following the curve 
of the end of the nail.

4. Wear clean socks / hose daily.

5. If you are a diabetic, have decreased sensation in your feet or have

circulatory issues, keep a mirror somewhere to inspect the bottom of
your feet on a daily basis. If you notice any changes, visit your medical
practitioner.

6. It is preferable not to go bare-foot, particularly outside – especially

if you are diabetic or have any impairment in feeling on the bottom
of your feet.
