Dry and peeling feet: how to take care of your feet

1. Athlete's foot

Athlete's foot is a very common fungal skin disease, which is generally more common among male friends, and of course it is also more common among female friends. The main cause of athlete's foot is dermatophytes. Athlete's foot has a serious course and is more serious in people whose soles sweat easily. Dermatophytes can easily breed and spread, so these people are prone to peeling of the soles of their feet. Friends with athlete's foot must pay attention to foot hygiene, wash their feet frequently, and change shoes frequently.

2. Dry skin

People with dry skin are prone to peeling of their hands and feet. The main reason is that dry feet lead to insufficient oxygen or water supply to the epidermal cells of the feet, causing necrosis of the epidermal cells of the feet. The main high incidence seasons are autumn and winter. Friends of this type need to drink more water and eat more vegetables, which can effectively relieve the symptoms.

3. Lack of vitamin E in the body

People who lack vitamin E are prone to peeling of the soles of their feet. The main reason is that some trace vitamins needed by the human body are lacking, which causes the skin to necrotize and peel easily. It is recommended that this type of friends eat more vegetables and fruits, and also take some vitamin E appropriately.

How to care for peeling feet?

1. Warm and moisturizing care

The ankles are where the skin is most prone to dryness, so moisturizing is very important. Choose skin care products according to the nature of your skin and moisturize your ankles. If you have severe peeling, you can use repairing essential oils for massage.

2. Use tools for maintenance

Girls' heels tend to become rough easily because they don't have as much oil as boys. For hardened heels, you can first scrub them with a small round stone, apply nourishing cream after washing, and then put on cotton socks to sleep.

3. Scrub care

Apply the scrub to your feet and calves, massage for eight minutes, then cover your feet with a plastic bag and continue applying it for another 4 minutes. In addition to its moisturizing effect, it can also relieve fatigue of the feet.

4. Fresh care

After all the maintenance procedures are completed, it is time to enter the final stage. Because your feet have been buried in shoes for years, it is inevitable that some odors will be produced. At this time, spray and foot powder are the best choices. You can also spray some in your shoes on weekdays to eliminate odors.

5. Apply nail polish

Apply a layer of topcoat after applying nail polish. This simple step can double the duration of the nail polish. Using toe clips can prevent your painted toenails from being accidentally scratched. If you don't have any, stuffing a crumpled paper towel between your toes will have the same effect.

6. Keep slippers in the office

Ladies who love to wear high heels, please remember to keep a pair of slippers under your desk in the office so that you can rest your feet when no one is paying attention. Don’t be greedy for the slender visual effect brought by high heels. The heel height of 2-4 cm is the most beautiful size.

Foot Care

(1) Wear flip-flops for a maximum of 1 hour

Flip-flops can cause harm to your feet. Don't wear them for a long time when walking. You should take a break if you walk in them for more than 1 hour. So don't wear flip-flops when traveling. Another thing to note is that flip-flops, like sneakers, should be replaced after 3-4 months of wear. If the soles become worn or crooked, they must be replaced promptly.

(2) Soak your feet in hot water with coarse salt

If you have been running around all day and feel your feet are particularly tired and sore, you can mix coarse salt with hot water and give yourself a "foot bath" for 10-15 minutes. This can help relieve discomfort in your feet, promote blood circulation in your ankles and calves, stretch your muscles and veins, and improve stiffness in your lower limbs.

(3) Self-service foot massage

After taking a hot foot bath, if your feet still feel sore, you can also do a self-service foot massage. First, apply a layer of moisturizing lotion on your hands and feet, then use the thumbs of both hands to press the arch of your feet alternately. Do not just massage the painful part of your feet.

(IV) Simple "physical therapy"

For "bone and muscle injuries", rehabilitation-type physical therapy is always more helpful for recovery than drug therapy. Here I will teach you a simple foot exercise: lightly step on a small ball (a tennis ball will do) with your foot, and use the strength of the sole of your foot to gently roll the ball. This can massage and stimulate the acupuncture points of the arch of the foot, as well as stretch the calf muscles. If your symptoms are severe, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for professional physical therapy to enhance the therapeutic effect.
