The feet are a very important part of the body, as they are responsible for supporting and mobilizing the body.

However, they are the most susceptible to problems as they support the weight of the body and are constantly in contact with the soil, moisture and other factors that are harmful to the health of this area.

That's why they deserve all the attention they can get, because excessive exertion and weight, the presence of fungi and bacteria, calluses and dryness can damage the feet.

To prevent this, you need to invest in regular care. In this article, we have put together some simple but very useful tips for you.

Read on to find out what they are.

How to care for your feet: our 4 most important tips

1- Make sure you disinfect your feet

Feet need special attention when disinfecting: wash well, rinse and dry. This process is important to prevent the occurrence of fungal infections.

Mycoses not only cause itching and discomfort, but can also develop and affect the health of your feet. That's why they must always be dry.

If your feet sweat excessively, it is advisable to dry them well after disinfection and then apply foot powder. They retain moisture and ensure that your feet always stay dry without drying out

2- Always moisturize your feet

As the skin on the feet is very exposed, it often becomes very dry and rough. In worse cases, cracks can develop, which become a gateway for bacteria and dirt, which can damage the health of your feet.

Daily moisturizing is the key to keeping your feet soft. So drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and use a moisturizer every day, especially for the foot area.

It contains natural and effective active ingredients that combat dryness in this area and promote the healing of cracks, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth.

3- Choose socks and shoes carefully

Socks should be made of cotton so that they absorb sweat well. They should also be soft and protect the feet from rubbing against the shoes.

These in turn should be soft and comfortable. Excessive wearing of high heels or very tight shoes can lead to long-term damage, including the development of bunions.

Therefore, when wearing shoes with high heels, prefer comfortable models, always alternating with other comfortable footwear.

4- Always consult a chiropodist

A Podiatrist is a professional who specializes in foot care. His work consists of assessing the area and offering personalized aesthetic care, such as exfoliation to remove dead cells and combat dryness, as well as deep moisturizing care.

He also assesses the health of the feet to detect symptoms of disease such as chilblains or other problems. For example, ingrown toenails or fungal infections.

Everyone should see a chiropodist regularly. However, if you suffer from diabetes, circulatory problems or obesity, or are over 40 years old, you should see this specialist regularly.
