Summer Foot Care Tips

Sandal season is upon us.  High temperatures, sandy beaches, salt water and barefoot walking can all take their toll on your feet.  Here are some quick tips to keep them looking their best. 
 
1: Exfoliate.  Use a good urea based cream nightly.  Urea acts as an emollient to help get rid of dry skin and keep you looking fresh and healthy.  
 
2:  Sun Screen.  Don't forget to apply to your feet!  We often forget them, but they are just as susceptible to a nasty burn as the rest of your body. 
 
3:  Pumice.  Keep a pumice stone in your shower.  Use it a few times a week to help keep thick callused skin away. 
 
4:  Nail Polish.  Take a break from polish.  Nails need some air too!  Prolonged use of polish can cause staining and, dry them out.  Try alternating weekly to keep them smooth and healthy. 
 
5:  Salt.  Limit your salt intake.  Salty foods cause water retention and can cause your feet and ankles to swell significantly.  Keep them looking slim and healthy by eating healthy!
