I know this will probably sound odd, but one of the first things I notice about other people is their feet. Obviously this is easier in summer when everyone is wearing sandals or slides, but you get the idea. I think it's important to take care of your feet, and I just have to wonder about someone who lets their own go untended. I'm not saying you have to walk around with a perfect pedicure, but please at least trim and file your nails! Also, it would be nice if you could remove all the rough skin that's peeling off your heels, because that's highly unattractive. In fact, why don't I just tell you about a few essential foot care products that you should have at home.
If you have specific problems like corns or bunions, then of course you should definitely purchase foot care products designed to treat those issues. If you suffer from something more serious like fallen arches or plantar fasciitis, then by all means go see a podiatrist. But for now, I'm just talking about foot care products that can help your feet look and feel great on a daily basis.
At the top of the list of foot care products you need to have is a good pumice stone to help slough away dead skin on a regular basis. You work over your heels and any other problem areas several times a week while in the shower to help keep your skin soft and smooth. What I do is wait until the end of my shower before grabbing the pumice stone. It works much easier after I've been soaking in the hot water for 10 minutes. Pumice stones are very inexpensive, so go out and get one today.
Another essential product is a footbath and massager. You don't have to go to the spa to treat your feet to a luxurious soak and massage. Instead, you can buy a personal-sized machine to do the trick for about $20-$30. Make sure the bath is self-heating so you don't have to deal with tepid or cool water after 10 minutes. This is a great way to relax, especially if you spend most of your day standing or walking. Add some soothing salts or essential oils to treat your skin at the same time. It's wonderful!
No list of foot care products would be complete without mentioning a good moisturizing lotion. I'm not going to get into specific brands here, but it's critical that you apply lotion every single day. This keeps skin soft and healthy, and will have your feet looking beautiful in no time. The most effective approach is to rub on some lotion immediately after stepping out of the shower so the lotion can help trap in all that extra moisture. When you do this regularly, you'll absolutely notice a huge difference.
When it comes to pampering yourself and making sure you look and feel your best, don't forget about your feet. Grab these essential foot care products right now and get ready to show off this summer!
