foot care
It is unfair how we treat our feet skin sometimes. The feet carry the weight of our entire body and often are one of the most abused and least cared parts of our body. Overall, everyone wants to have beautiful and healthy feet.

Foot care is an essential part of the hygiene regimen. You might not believe, but skin on our feet is very delicate. To have beautiful skin, you have to take care of the skin on your feet, and on a regular basis.

Foot care routine is not so time consuming and quite simple to follow.

==================================

[b]Here, below are some tips on how to take care of your feet skin, which you can find useful and easy enough to practice on a weekly basis or more often.

• The first step is the preparation of the skin of your feet for the treatment. One should remove hard skin to start with. In order to remove dead foot skin, you may have to use a pumice stone or apply a special cream on the appropriate areas. But before doing it, you will have to soak your feet in a bowl of slightly hot water to soften the tough dead skin. Then you could scrub the dead skin much more easily. You could use a foot file for rubbing the skin off, do it gently, and then rinse off the flaky residue.

• After scrubbing soak your feet for about 10-15 minutes in a bowl of warm water. It is always a good idea to add some mineral salts, essential oils into the water. Palm sea salts (or mineral slats) with a few drops of lavender essential oils, for example, relieve the aches and reduce the swelling.

• When you finish the soaking procedure, dry your feet thoroughly, especially between your toes. Trim the nails of your toes by cutting straight across the tip and then shape the corners with an emery board.

• Treat your feet with a rich foot skin cream by massaging it gently. Put your hands on either side of your foot and firmly pressing with your thumbs the upper part of the foot start move you thumbs outwards.

• To remove any stiffness in the ankle, gently massage the anklebone in a circular motion.

• Remove extra cream left from your nails
