Monsoons are the most enjoyable season, if one ignores the dirt and grim outside. This, in fact, is the best breeding season for bacteria and germs too. Feet, in monsoons, are especially most prone to infections. Therefore, it’s important that one takes good care of their feet during this season.
Below are a few tips to keep in mind when taking care of your feet in monsoons…
• Wash your feet each time you come in from the rains. Pat dry and apply an anti-fungal foot powder handy, especially between the toes.
• If you have to stay out throughout the day wearing boots or closed shoes, then add a few drops of shower gel in warm water and soak your in it. Scrub off the dead skin with a soft pumice stone.
• Wash and apply generous amounts of cocoa butter on your feet before bedtime.
• If you have cracked heels, then mix glycerin and rose water and apply it on cracked areas. This will help soothe burning sensations in cracked heels.
• Keep the toe nails trimmed to avoid the deposition of dirt. Make sure you don’t cut your cuticles for, they will breed fungi. A variety of anti fungal nail polishes have also hit the market. You can try using them to protect your nails.
• Open shoes are highly recommended in this season. Flip flops, rubber shoes, and gum boots are also advised.
