TLC for Tired Toes
Revitalize Your Feet
Our feet bear the brunt of our daily activities, enduring forces equal to several hundred tons each day. It's no wonder they often need some tender loving care. Treating your feet to a pedicure, whether at home or in a salon, can refresh and reenergize your entire body.
Pedicure Statistics
According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, 25% of women enjoy at-home pedicures, while 34% prefer professional spa treatments. Regardless of where you pamper your feet, following safe practices is essential. Here are some expert tips from podiatrist Dr. Marlene Reid:
1. Soothe Your Soles
Gently smooth away calluses on your heels, balls, and sides of your feet using a pumice stone, foot file, or homemade scrub (mix olive oil and sea salt). Avoid using a foot razor as it can remove too much skin, leading to infections or permanent damage.
2. Dry Thoroughly
After soaking your feet, rinse off any products and pat dry carefully. Pay attention to the spaces between your toes to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to fungal infections like athlete's foot.
3. Trim with Care
Toenails should be cut straight across, just above the toe tips, using a straight-edged clipper. This prevents nails from becoming curved or ingrown.
4. Clean Gently
Use a wooden or rubber manicure stick to remove dirt from beneath your nails?"be gentle to avoid puncturing the skin, which could lead to infections.
5. Shape with Precision
Smooth the edges of your toenails with an emery board, filing lightly in one direction without rounding the corners too much. Avoid sawing back and forth to prevent weakening the nails.
6. Moisturize Cuticles
Apply a cuticle or hand cream to moisturize, then gently push back your cuticles with a rubber pusher or manicure stick. Never cut your cuticles as they protect against bacterial infections.
7. Polish Carefully
Nail polish can lock out moisture, so paint your toenails only if they are healthy. Remember to remove the polish regularly using a non-acetone remover to allow your nails to breathe.
By following these tips, you can ensure your feet get the TLC they deserve, keeping them healthy and ready for every step you take.
