care takes a back seat when compared to our other beauty treatments.
Unfortunately, a little care is given to the most strained and worked out part
- the feet. Thus, this article will give you tips to keep your feet clean and
hygienic during this torrential downpour.
•
Intense cleansing of feet is very important in monsoon because they get
accumulated with dirt and mud. Wash your feet with antiseptic water as soon as
you reach home and keep them clear of any infections. Use natural disinfectants
like soda and vinegar in a tub of warm water to kill bacteria.
•
Avoid scrubbing your feet during monsoon which can cause nicks or sensitive
skin prone to infections. So, just cleaning and keep them dry that is enough.
•
Make a mixture of water and lemon in equal quantity and use tissue or cotton to
apply it to your feet. This will help you to remove the odor and also smooth
your feet.
•
Do not neglect the spaces between your toes and fingers. Dry them properly and
sprinkle talcum powder between them. There are higher chances of fungal
infection in the spaces.
•
After drying, trim your nails and push back the cuticle. Then rinse your feet
once again and pat them dry to apply moisturizer for the feet. Moisturizer must
be applied every night before sleeping as it will not only help you get rid of
the dead skin but also, keep your legs flexible.
•
Applying petroleum jelly on feet after cleaning helps to moisturize and prevent
water contact directly with skin as it repels water.
•
Do not wear closed, tight-fitting footwear as wearing boots and shoes hold
water thereby, making it sodden. So, use only slippers or sandals instead.
•
Always keep a separate dry pair of work shoes at your office, college locker.
So you can swap the wet footwear with dry ones when you reach your work place.
That way you avoid sitting uncomfortably in the wet footwear and invite less
infections.
•
Always wear clean and dry cotton socks. Do keep extra pair of socks so that you
can change them once you reach your destination after the travel.
•
Do consult your family physician in case of infections neglecting any warts or
lesions on feet can leads to serious skin problems. Use safety shoes for your
foot.
Have
a lovely monsoon this time!
