Foot Care

Athlete’s foot is a common complaint, and it is fairly simple to fix depending on severity.

The condition is usually identifiable through itchy white patches between your toes, fluid-filled blisters and red, sore and flaky patches on your feet.

Athlete’s foot is usually found on the soles or sides of your feet, but in some cases, it can also spread to your toenails.

This is not the kind of condition that will go away by itself and will need proper intervention.

The Miaderma Athlete’s Foot Spray has been designed as an athlete’s foot treatment.

Keeping your feet dry is one key to preventing athlete’s foot, so making sure you dry them thoroughly after washing, particularly between the toes, is important.

Try to make sure that you wear clean cotton socks every day and take your shoes off when you are at home, to allow your feet to breathe.

Athlete’s foot is contagious, so do not share towels or walk around barefoot.

Try to avoid anything that makes your feet hot and sweaty and do not scratch any affected skin, as it can spread to other parts of your body.

At some point in our lives, we will all have noticed a build up of hard skin on our feet.

This most commonly occurs around the heels, the big toe and the balls of the feet and is caused by repeated pressure and friction against your skin.

The skin starts to appear thicker and becomes hard and waxy in appearance. It is important to remember that whilst it might not look very pretty, there is not actually anything wrong unless it develops into corns or calluses.

Hard skin is your body’s way of responding to stress and preventing further damage.

There are many ways to get rid of hard skin, including the Dr Organic Manuka Honey Foot & Heel Cream which will soften and help reduce calluses whilst moisturising cracked and dry skin.

This luxurious rescue cream is suitable for vegetarians and combines unique Manuka Honey activity with a combination of extracts to nourish and hydrate the feet.

Soaking the feet in warm water for a few minutes will soften the skin, before using a pumice stone to buff the hard skin away in steady circular motions.

The So Eco Natural Lave Pumice gently and naturally removes hard skin from the feet.

By exfoliating dead skin from the foot, it reveals softer, newer skin beneath.

The Badger Mini Foot Balm is a handy product to have at home as its essential oil blend of peppermint, tea tree and rosemary offer cleansing and refreshing benefits that moisturise and soothe even the roughest dry and cracked feet and heels.

When it comes to natural foot care, it is important to make sure you are making this a regular part of your grooming routine.

These dry feet products are an important part of keeping your feet healthy, so put your best foot forwards and show those toes some love.
