Feet Maintenance: DIY Foot Spas and Foot Creams

Posted: Sep 23, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Worried about your feet's cracked, dry skin? Banish ugliness and discomfort by treating your feet with your very own foot spa at home. Whoever said that you can only do these at expensive spas probably does not have even a single strain of resourcefulness in their bodies because you can surely give yourself the ultimate spa treatment even at your own lovely abodes.

All you need to prepare is a small tub of water where your feet can comfortably fit, some towels, pumice, and a good foot cream that can both act as a moisturizer and exfoliant. If it's hard for you to look for foot cream products like these, then you can also buy them separately. To start, just soak your feet in the water for a couple of minutes, apply the foot cream, exfoliate, dry, and moisturize.

Repeat this once every two weeks but always make it a point to wash and moisturize your feet every day. Slipping on some socks after you apply the foot cream moisturizer can also make the skin on your feet more supple because of better moisturizer absorption.

If you are always wearing closed shoes throughout the day, always try to wear some socks to keep your feet from creating friction with the insides of your shoes and prevent calluses. If you have a problem with sweaty feet, however, the best you can do is to buy a foot cream or foot powder that battles the sweating. Leaving your feet in an always moist state can trigger the growth of bacteria and other fungi on the feet which thrives on moist dark places.

If you are a girl and loves colors, paint your nails with a bright color if you are feeling perky or with a romantic color if you have a date at night. Just make sure to remove the polish after five days. Never leave your nail polish on for more than a week or two because your nails can turn brittle and yellow. To keep your nails healthy, give them breathing time by letting them without polish for week before painting them again.
