Tips for Healthier feet



In between pedicures you can encourage healthy feet, ankles and toes by following these six steps to healthier feet:

·         Switch heel heights during the day to give the feet and calves a break. If you wear high heels during the day, slip into a pair of pumps in the evening.
·         Invest in a corrugated foot roller to give the feet a reflexology-style workout during the day. Simply move the feet along the roller to stimulate the nerve endings on the soles of the feet.
·         Use a rich moisture cream on your feet at night and wake up to softer toes.
·         Always wear well-fitting shoes and have your feet professionally measured from time to time when choosing a new pair, in case of change.
·         Apply a daily dab of Cuticle Cream or almond oil to the toenails to keep cuticles soft and well-conditioned.
·         Always trim toenails straight across, never down at the sides, to prevent in-growing toenails.
