6 Ways of Taking Care of Your Feet this Monsoon

After the very long wait, finally the season of happiness, greenery and joy, monsoon has arrived. This season is best know for its beauty, serenity along with a lot of dirt, muck and stickiness. Read through some tips to keep your feet clean and hygienic during the season.

1. Choosing the Right Footwear

Preparing yourself with the right footwear is as essential as equipping yourself with umbrellas and raincoats. Avoid wearing closed shoes since they tend to accumulate water, which will end up wetting your feet. Also wear your socks once you reach office to avoid bacteria to grow resulting in fungal infections.

2. Wash your feet immediately

Absolutely simple yet the most important is washing your feet thoroughly once you’re back home or in office in case of any contact with the muck on the roads. The season is known for its infections and hence it is crucial to get rid off all the dirt immediately.

3. Moisturizing your feet

Get yourself a moisturizer for the feet, which must be applied, every night before sleeping. This will not only help you get rid of the dead skin but also keep your legs supple.

4. Cut your nails

Long and un-kept nails are one of the biggest culprits, which store dirt for the longest time. Cutting your nails short can keep you away from any sort of contamination.

5. Pedicure

Take time off your busy schedules and go to your nearest salon for a pedicure regularly especially during monsoon. If time doesn’t permit, you must dip your feet in hot water once a week and do a mini pedicure. Don’t forget to add some liquid antiseptic to the water to help you get rid of all the dirt. Scrub your feet well using a good scrapper.

6. Dry your Footwear

If your shoes have been soaked in rainwater it is essential for you to dry them under the sun before putting your feet in them again. Damp shoes are home to a number of bacteria that can ultimately cause infection.

Enjoying this season in the best possible way also brings with itself some significant things to be kept in mind to take care of your body especially the feet. Follow these handy tips and stay away from all the infectivity.
