The value of traditional methods is their reliability, simplicity and accessibility to everyone. The experience of many generations of people in studying the various properties of plants guarantees the safety and certainty of the therapeutic effect.
A lot depends on proper foot care. It is the feet that experience the greatest impact - mechanical, thermal, chemical. Therefore, most foot procedures concern the feet.
cleanse the skin of the feet in the following ways. Before the procedure, a skin softening agent is usually applied - a scrub or serum. Then the feet are immersed in a bath with extracts of medicinal herbs (for a 10-15 minute session).
After steaming, the feet are cleaned with soap and a brush. For a general tonic or relaxing effect, you can drop aromatic oil into the bath. After the bath, keratinized skin on the fingers, heels and feet can be easily cleaned off with scrubs or pumice stones. Calluses and corns are carefully removed with tweezers.
Foot care products are a separate group of cosmetics that have their own characteristics. Some people believe that face cream will be just as good for foot care. This is a misconception.
Based on their effect, foot care products can be divided into:
Also, foot care products include various types of pedicure.

Pedicure with SPA elements:
In foot care, an important point is to love yourself and your body. There is no limit to perfection! At your disposal is a huge arsenal of products to care for your feet - from folk remedies to the latest achievements in the cosmetics industry. Use it wisely and let your feet be beautiful and charming!
If you do not want to become the owner of unkempt feet, cracked dry skin on the heels, or fungal diseases, then the skin of your feet naturally needs to be looked after regularly. This is especially true for the sole. After all, it is on it that the entire weight of the body falls, in addition, the foot experiences the pressure of shoes and friction from walking.
Clean your feet once a week to remove rough skin. There are several ways to do this. The simplest is the usual rubbing of the foot after taking a shower or bath. For these purposes, use a regular pumice stone or a special pedicure brush. By the way, there will be a foot scrub here, which is sold in stores. Folk remedies like, for example, ground coffee are also good.
Calluses also cause us discomfort. By the way, the callus process goes through three stages. Initially, in the first stage, the influence of mechanical influences affects, resulting in redness, then swelling and, as a result, water blisters. It is better to seal these places with a bactericidal adhesive plaster and lubricate them with a solution of potassium permanganate. In summer, you can apply a mashed plantain leaf. If a water bubble forms, do not open it; it is better to cauterize it with a solution of brilliant green or potassium permanganate. If the bubble ruptures spontaneously, cover it with a bactericidal bandage.
For dry skin, it is advisable to use a softening cream specifically for this type of foot skin. This procedure is especially effective if done at night. To do this, lubricate your feet generously with cream, then put on cotton socks. The cream can be replaced with vegetable oil. The morning effect will really surprise you.
Pamper your feet regularly, for example using foot baths. Based on their action, they are divided into nourishing, tonic, and soothing. For example, warm water, a handful of sea salt and a bath with a tonic effect are ready. How nice it will be to hold your feet in such a bath. To complete the effect, rinse your feet with cold water afterwards.
By pouring a couple of tablespoons of pine needles, flaxseed and wonderful chamomile into a liter of boiling water, you can get a soothing bath. Baths made from the flowers of nettle, hawthorn, calendula, St. John's wort, celandine, and string will make your feet beautiful and healthy.
When caring for your feet, don’t forget about a massage that is useful in every sense. How to do it? We start by stroking the feet and move towards the toes, then stretch the toes, as if stretching them. For varicose veins, massage is generally contraindicated. If you feel unusual heaviness in your legs, it is better to undergo an ultrasound of your lower extremities to rule out the disease.
Use light pressure movements to massage the entire foot. It will be great if you roll the stick with your foot, but without excessive effort. Massage, by the way, has a beneficial effect on the entire body. In the summer, if possible, walk barefoot more often. Soft cool grass, pebbles, hot sand are the best massagers in all ages.
Use masks and treat the skin on your feet with nutrients and vitamins. A nourishing mask containing lemon juice mixed with kefir and cottage cheese works well.
Gymnastics will never be superfluous when caring for your feet. There are special exercises for them that help strengthen muscles, maintain mobility and help prevent injuries.
It happens that your feet sweat. This happens due to increased excitability of the autonomic nervous system. Sweaty soles are soft and smell unpleasant, this is a consequence of the decomposition of sweat in the shoes. In addition, the skin sweats between the fingers, and even wrinkles. To avoid this, take sedatives such as motherwort and valerian tincture regularly. Boric acid is good for sweating feet; it does not dissolve in sweat and does not lead to skin irritation. Warm baths containing medicinal plants are also great for sweating.
Chinese healers and Ayurvedic doctors have always been of the opinion that there are points on the foot that, if pressed, can heal a specific organ. This direction has an interesting name - acupuncture. Modern science, at present, is increasingly inclined to the assertion that the organs of our body are shrouded in a subtle energy connection, which is not possible to explain.
Don’t put off taking care of your feet until later, and you will have a flying gait.

The beauty of a woman has been glorified by poets for thousands of years, inspired artists, and simply drove men crazy.
But if you want your feet not only to please the eye, but also to withstand with honor all the loads that fall on them, then you should not only actively admire them, but also carefully care for your feet at home.
In my opinion, we do not take care of our feet as well as other parts of the body. This is completely the wrong approach. After all, not only our mood, but to some extent, the general state of health depends on the condition of our feet, so you should not neglect foot care.
I want to offer some simple tips on how to care for your feet at home and how to make your feet beautiful and healthy.
For normal foot care, it is enough to walk over your feet with a special hard washcloth, brush or cream-scrub during your daily shower to remove dead skin particles. After this, dry your feet, remembering to run a towel between your toes, dry them and massage them with nourishing foot cream. Then it’s good to sit and lie down for at least a quarter of an hour with your legs elevated, placing a pillow under your ankles - this will help relieve the load on your legs and relieve swelling.
Foot care at home includes cleansing procedures. At least once a week, you should carry out thorough foot cleanings: after steaming your feet in hot or warm water, remove the softened stratum corneum with a pumice stone, a hard brush or a special foot grater. Not with a razor! After drying, massage with cream. After cleaning your feet, it is very good to rub a rich cream into the heels and put on cotton socks. If you do similar procedures every week, the skin on your feet and heels will be tender and soft, like a child's.
When caring for your feet in the summer, it is especially pleasant to take foot baths. After all, in summer your feet get no less tired than in winter, and dust, heat, insect bites and sandal straps make them especially vulnerable. Sometimes, simply washing your feet frequently, accompanied by a light massage, can help prevent dry feet, small cracks and itching. Baths can be diversified by adding decoctions of medicinal herbs or essential oils - this is fun and useful. In addition, once you get a taste for foot care at home, you can “mix cocktails” from herbal infusions and aromatic oils.
If time is catastrophically short, and my legs “hum” after a hard day, I personally do this - pour warm water into the bath, pour in more salt, and let my tired legs sit for 10-15 minutes. Fatigue and pain disappear instantly. Salt and water cleanse and tone the skin of the feet. It is very good to make foot baths with coarse sea salt, it will be beneficial for your feet and the body will replenish the lack of iodine.
Here are herbs that can also be used to make foot baths:
- mint, St. John's wort and nettle refresh;
— pine extracts and oils, thyme and oak bark reduce sweating;
— calendula and chamomile disinfect;
- chamomile, linden blossom and honey help with swelling;
— potato decoction softens the skin;
- a bath with a couple of tablespoons of mustard helps at the onset of a cold.
Taking care of your feet at home can also quickly relieve tired feet. Contrast baths are a great way to deal with fatigue: stock up on two basins, fill one with hot water (as much as you can tolerate), cold water in the other, and step from one basin to another until you get tired.
In cosmetic stores you can buy various additives for foot baths, herbal mixtures, special milk or salt with additives.
Typically, a foot bath is taken for five minutes, for cracks - ten, for excessive sweating of the feet - up to three minutes. The water should not be too hot. For some diseases, such as varicose veins, inflammatory processes, swelling, and sweating feet, it is better to take cooling baths. Cold foot baths constrict blood vessels, reduce pain and relieve inflammation.
The next step in foot care at home after taking a bath is foot masks. After taking a bath, you need to apply a foot mask. Cosmetic stores offer us a wide variety of creams and masks for feet. At the same time, it is quite possible to make effective masks without leaving the kitchen. If you apply a “homemade” mask for a long time (from 15 minutes), then you should put plastic bags on your feet over the mask and wrap them with a towel.
Here are some tips for foot masks at home that I have used myself:
- I crush the celandine collected from the garden in a blender or meat grinder, cover the feet with the pulp, leave it for half an hour or an hour (you can do it all night) - after this the skin softens, and the stratum corneum is removed simply with a hard washcloth;
— lemon juice whitens and helps exfoliate horn cells — I rub my feet with a piece of lemon and leave for 10-15 minutes;
— mayonnaise extremely softens the skin, which can be applied to the feet for an hour or more;
— sour cream and curd masks soften the skin of the feet and whiten them, I apply them for an hour or more;
- a paste of cabbage leaves, ground in a blender or meat grinder, applied for half an hour to an hour, helps with cracks on the feet;
- a mask of warm mashed potatoes (it’s even better to make mashed potatoes from potato peelings) helps with calluses and corns, applied for half an hour or an hour.
Do not forget also that for the full effect of baths and foot masks at home, you need to do them in courses of 2-3 months. Only in this case, foot care at home will give the desired result.
Foot care at home also includes nail care. Toenails require the same careful care as fingernails. When trimming your toenails, do not cut off the corners, otherwise the nail will begin to grow into your toe. An ingrown toenail can also be caused by a foot defect or poorly fitting shoes.
For ingrown nails (in the initial stage), it is recommended to use daily baths of chamomile: 6 tablespoons of flowers, pour 2 liters of boiling water, cover the container with a lid and leave for 1 hour. The strained infusion is heated again and the feet are kept in it until the water cools down. For the bath, it is recommended to use a decoction (boil for 10 minutes). The duration of the procedure is 15 minutes. After drying, carefully separate part of the nail from the tissue and place a small cotton swab moistened with iodine tincture. For pain, baths with potassium permanganate are also recommended.
Foot care includes pedicure. How to do a pedicure correctly?
Pedicures should be done both in summer and winter, at least once a month. A pedicure should begin by immersing your feet for 10-20 minutes in a hot bath with the addition of a small amount of soap, 1 teaspoon of ammonia solution and 1 teaspoon of soda. After the bath, you need to wipe your feet dry with a towel, then lubricate them with nourishing cream. After this, use a pumice stone or pedicure file to carefully remove the keratinized layers on the heels, feet and toes. Carefully remove calluses and corns with tweezers. You need to cut or file your nails from the left or right edge, and not across.
The nail on the long toe should be slightly longer than on the other toes. Nails should be trimmed in a straight line, not in a semicircle. Then you need to remove the cuticle of the nail fold, lubricate the feet with cream and massage. To soften the skin, when massaging your feet, you can rub a mixture of orange or lemon juice in half with any vegetable oil.
The pedicure should be completed by applying clear or colored varnish. The color of the nail polish on your feet should either match the color of the nail polish on your hands, or be selected in the same color scheme. All you need to know is that if you have ugly fingers or toes, it is better to choose a clear nail polish.
We must not forget that not only foot care at home is important, but also shoes. After all, the health of our feet largely depends on the right shoes. When buying shoes, you should walk around the store a little to make sure that the shoes do not pinch or hang loose on your feet. It must be remembered that high heels or flat soles have a very negative effect on the foot. The optimal heel height, according to orthopedists, is 6.25 cm.
Women who wear narrow shoes constantly experience discomfort, as the skin of their feet is subjected to friction and pressure, which is why calluses appear. To prevent the appearance of calluses, you should wear comfortable shoes, lubricate your feet with a softening cream as often as possible, and periodically get a pedicure.
If you follow these foot care recommendations, you can remain irresistible in any situation. One of our main opponents in the struggle for beauty is laziness. When the mirror ceases to please us, and the clothes that suited you yesterday and made you beautiful, today only mercilessly reveal everything that you would like to hide, you only have yourself to blame.
As the French say, only a lazy woman can have rough heels and unkempt legs.
Many women begin to take care of themselves, believing in the healing value and immediate impact of the proposed measures. But most of them quit classes if they don’t see the expected results soon. Do not forget that visible results are not achieved instantly, take care of your feet at home regularly, do baths and masks in courses of 2-3 months, choose the right shoes, and your feet will be beautiful, healthy and attract admiring male gazes.
Every woman knows that she needs to use face and hand creams, regularly exfoliate her body, and do not neglect hair conditioners. But not everyone knows and knows how to properly care for their legs, feet and nails. But beautiful legs are that part of the female body that 90% of men pay attention to. They are exposed to enormous stress every day, because they must withstand the weight of our body. Therefore, caring for your feet requires regular procedures to improve their health. So, how to properly care for your feet at home.
Our feet and heels need love and care no less than other parts of the body. Knowing some tricks, you can improve your health, relieve stress, moisturize and pamper your feet, spending a minimum of time and money.
A girl, a woman who has seriously decided to take care of her legs should know and have an idea about all the procedures that are designed to give a second youth to her legs. This:
All foot care procedures can be divided into daily and weekly procedures.
Every day you can pamper your feet:
No more than once a week, but regularly you should clean your feet of rough skin. To do this, you need to steam your feet for 15-20 minutes in warm water, then remove the stratum corneum with a pumice stone or a special scraper.
After cleansing, you can apply a foot mask that will moisturize the skin and help get rid of cracks, calluses and corns.
Once every 7-14 days, do not forget about a pedicure, where you pay special attention to your nails.
There can be many reasons for discomfort. The health of the legs is influenced by both internal and external factors.
Firstly, it is a sedentary lifestyle and excess weight. Due to sedentary work, blood circulation in the lower extremities is disrupted, resulting in swelling and dry feet.
Secondly, incorrectly selected shoes. This can cause calluses and corns.
Thirdly, neglect of personal hygiene rules can cause various fungal infections.
Fourthly, a poorly done pedicure will lead to ingrown nails and infection of the skin.
It is equally important to take care of your toenails. They should be trimmed regularly, paying special attention to the technique of this procedure. An improperly cut nail causes the nail plate to grow into the skin. Sometimes this can lead to surgery. Therefore, adhere to the following rules:
By adhering to these simple rules, you don’t have to worry about the condition of your nails, because they will always be healthy.
At first glance, legs are not the most important part of our body. Most of the year they are hidden under shoes, and some problems (cracked heels, fungal nail infections) can be “camouflaged” by wearing closed shoes. But neglecting the health of your feet can lead to more serious problems that affect all organs. For example, wearing uncomfortable shoes, a woman runs the risk of rubbing a callus; due to discomfort, the foot takes an incorrect position, the load on the spine is distributed unevenly, it becomes deformed, and this entails problems associated with the normal functioning of the abdominal organs. This is a slightly exaggerated situation, but quite real.
In addition to high heels, shoes that are too tight or too loose have a negative impact on your feet. Because of such boots, shoes, and sneakers, the foot takes on an incorrect position and gradually becomes deformed. In addition, no one is immune from the appearance of calluses.
Shoes should be convenient, comfortable, made from natural materials, with a normal heel height (it should not be felt).
The beauty industry offers a huge range of foot skin care products. There are quite a few of them, each performing its own function. They are divided into the following groups:
Caring for the skin of the feet and legs in general involves such a pleasant procedure as massage and gymnastics. Scientists have proven that a huge number of nerve endings are concentrated on the feet, and by massaging them you improve the functioning of all internal organs. In addition, massage improves blood circulation and activates the internal strength of the body.
Every day, use pressing and rubbing movements over the entire foot, starting from the toes, moving towards the heel. Pay special attention to each finger.
In addition to massage, legs require special health-improving gymnastics. It is not at all complicated and takes a minimum of time and effort, and the effect is felt instantly.
These few exercises will help restore vigor to the entire body and relieve tension after a hard day at work.
Never miss the opportunity to walk barefoot on grass, sand, or pebbles. Even if you walk over the scattered children's construction toys on the carpet, you will involuntarily massage your feet.
Taking care of your feet at home does not require a lot of special knowledge and skills. By making baths, masks, scrubs from existing products, you not only fill your feet with life and energy, but also spend virtually no money.
This bath can be done daily. Pour a handful of sea salt (or regular table salt) into a bowl of warm water and place your tired feet there. After 15-20 minutes there will be no trace of fatigue left.
Take 2 containers, pour warm water into one and cool water into the other. Alternately dip your feet in cold and warm baths. This procedure perfectly relieves swelling, but is contraindicated for varicose veins.
Excellent for healing cracked heels. For this procedure, you need to pour 2 tablespoons of St. John's wort into 1 liter of boiling water.
In 3 days, this mask will eliminate the unpleasant odor of foot sweat. You will need 1 raw egg, 1 tbsp. vinegar and 1 tbsp. vegetable oil. Beat the egg and mix with the rest of the ingredients. Apply the resulting mixture to your feet, then put on socks and go to bed. In the morning, wash off the mask.
Gently cleanses the skin and gives it a healthy appearance. Grind the dried orange peels, add olive oil and apply the resulting mass to the skin with massage movements from the knees to the tips of the fingers. Then rinse with warm water.
Beautiful, healthy feet and heels are not a myth, but a reality. Every self-respecting woman should take care of her legs; for a girl, it’s not at all difficult, it doesn’t require a lot of time and money. Regularly cleansing the skin, using masks, and massaging the feet can transform any legs beyond recognition. Please yourself with pleasant procedures, and then you will not be afraid of problems associated with your feet.
Scholl Velvet electric file which has already been tested by millions of women, can also help you in the fight for beautiful legs.

At home, it is advisable to do simple exercises such as jumping ups and especially squats.
To prevent blood from stagnating in your legs, massage your legs regularly: from bottom to top, from toes to thighs. Stretch each toe, stretch, bend and straighten. This is also useful for preventing the formation of spurs.
Rub the sole thoroughly with your hands.
I also perform reflexive foot massage using a special device, which, in addition to benefits for the whole body, has a beneficial effect on the feet, softens their skin, and prevents the formation of corns.
Beautiful skin of the feet, heels without cracks are a sore point for many women, especially in the summer, when our legs are open, and we are also fiddling around in the ground on ridges.
Therefore, proper foot care in summer is even more important.
Caring for your feet at home is very simple and takes little time.
After all your household chores in the evening, take a five-minute foot bath, then rub the rough areas with a pumice stone or a special grater and lubricate the skin with a nourishing cream.
You can also make a compress from chopped lemon peel, which has a softening effect and heals wounds. I usually remove calluses with lemon peel.
By the way, lemons will also help with rough knees. Cut it into two parts and place each half on your knees, sit there for a few minutes.
Or squeeze the juice out of a lemon, soak napkins in it, place it on your knees, and massage.
Yes, you can simply wipe your knees with a slice of lemon, just like your feet, and this procedure is useful for your elbows.
After it, apply moisturizer to your skin.
Foot baths can be made from different herbs, for example, like this.
Mix equal amounts of mint, medicinal chamomile, and birch leaves.
Pour five tablespoons of this mixture into two liters of boiling water. Next, leave for about one hour, filter and pour the infusion into a bowl of warm water. There is no need to make the water too hot. We lower our legs, sit for about five minutes and that’s enough.
You can also prepare a foot bath at home using celandine. For two liters of boiling water you will need about a glass of dry herbs.
Also try making an infusion of flax seeds for a bath (you need to take two tablespoons of seeds per liter of boiling water).
By following the foot care procedures described above, you are guaranteed beautiful heels at home, and there is no need to visit beauty salons. It also prevents the formation of calluses.
But in some cases, with rough skin, you can try additional care.
We will make a heel bath from soda and soap solution. We thoroughly steam the heels and again treat them with pumice.
After this we prepare a milk bath. Pour a glass of milk into a bowl of warm water and soak the legs for 10-15 minutes.
Then pat your feet dry with a towel and wipe with a slice of lemon.
After only 7-10 such procedures, the heels will become smooth, pink and tender.
Take a milk bath with baking soda for your whole body and feel like Cleopatra!
If corns and cracks appear on the heels, then the matter is more serious. But there is a way out!
Masks and compresses for heels will help us: from apples, strawberries, potatoes and others. Recipes here>>.
We need to know not only how to care for the skin of our feet, but also not to forget about our nails.
Beautiful, well-groomed nails on both hands and feet speak volumes about their owner.
How to properly care for your toenails?
We'll probably talk more about how to do a pedicure at home next time. This is already a long article.
But in short, in principle, everything can be described in a nutshell.
Steam your feet, move and carefully trim the cuticles, then you need to shorten your nails with scissors, file them and paint them with varnish.
Nowadays they use a variety of the most extravagant colors, but sophisticated French manicure and pedicure are always in fashion.

I agree with all your advice on foot care, but I live in a big city, I don’t have a summer house, and herbs from the pharmacy and lemons from the supermarket are very expensive. I make salt baths and use a lot of cream, any cream, for the legs, and expired for the face, and one that was given as a gift, but did not suit me, I squeeze it into a jar, so it’s more convenient for me to use. I often see women in beautiful, fashionable shoes, with worn out toes and heels covered with plaster. This can be avoided if in the evening the shoes are thickly coated with cream on the inside, where they rub. Of course this applies to leather shoes.
Prackowia, you don’t have to buy anything expensive to take care of your feet. You can simply soak your feet in a soda solution, and castor oil also perfectly softens the skin and fights cracks. It's not expensive and a bottle lasts a long time.
Daily and proper foot care will ensure the health of our feet and their beautiful and well-groomed appearance. The main thing is to do the procedures regularly and not to be lazy and your legs will thank us)
The children gave me a special electric foot bath, so it is possible to do a salon procedure directly at home.
Thanks for the advice! I use many of these recommendations and can confirm their effectiveness. And I generally have lemon for all occasions; it is especially indispensable for cleansing hands and nails after fiddling with vegetables and other “dirty” work.
Yes, lemon is a miracle of nature! I also love using it as a mask to strengthen my nails.

Very timely and competent advice just in the summer, when your feet suffer from open shoes, and especially if you have to work in the garden.
I tried a lot of products to care for my feet and heels, and most of all I liked shea butter, I use it every day at night and my heels are in excellent condition.
Warm foot baths, especially tired feet, work wonders. And if you then smear your feet with something else pleasant, then it’s absolutely great.
Of course, we can’t forget about our legs, especially now, in the summer. Thank you, Olya, for the necessary advice, I took note of something.
In the summer, it’s just a struggle for your heels. Dust, dirt, shoes injure your feet so much that it’s just a nightmare. I do a lot of what you described and it really has an effect on my face. In winter I relax a little and net. ??
Good ways to take care of your feet at home. In summer, the skin actually gets rougher, and sometimes the heels crack.
Thank you Olya for the tips you offer in the article. I already do some things, but I haven’t tried treating my elbows with lemon, I’ll definitely have to do that. I periodically treat my elbows with golden mustache tincture. It softens the skin very well.
But I didn’t know about this use of the golden mustache. And lemon really does help wonderfully.
In the summer, your feet need more careful care; everyone mostly wears open shoes and their feet get tired of them faster, especially if they are new and a little tight... Thanks for the timely advice.
In summer, you especially need good care for your legs and heels. Good advice. Thank you.
It’s really easy to take care of your feet, the main thing is not to be lazy and find time for yourself every day. After all, this not only helps to maintain beauty, but also peace of mind and harmony.
For me, foot care is a separate topic, all the masks that I apply to my face are then transferred to the heels and soles, well, it’s very convenient.
I really liked the tips, thank you!
Olechka, thank you for all the advice. And I liked the recipes because they were accessible.
Interesting recipe with apples, I have to try it... I haven’t used it myself, although I heard about it, I forgot, but you reminded me and wrote it like that.. And other recipes are good. And the legs always require our attention.. How...
Thanks for the advice. I’ll forward your article to the female part of our family, and it won’t hurt to use these tips yourself.
Oh, I took care of my feet myself, all kinds of masks, it’s great. Before September 1, I treated myself to a pedicure, but no one canceled the masks and baths. Olya, thank you for the tips on foot care.
These are the kind of recipes that will definitely come in handy for me. My heels get very dry. In the summer, even a pedicure does not help, cracks appear. I'll try the above recipes, I hope they help.
When I started massaging each foot daily for 5 minutes, my legs stopped cramping and the bones stopped clicking when I made circular movements with my feet or moved my fingers.
Excellent recipes for foot care, thank you, I wrote them down.
It’s great when there are so many tips in one article, I’ll arrange a series of procedures and try everything))))
Good tips for caring for your feet at home.
I like baths with sea salt and lemon to rub my heels. They become soft, super.
Thank you! Lemon is a cool thing, no matter where it is used!
Everything is well described. You don't have to worry about your heels if you take proper care of them. I also need advice on removing corns. I will be very grateful.
I don’t have such experience, but I will definitely select information for you.
Svetlana, I remembered that lemon peel with a small amount of pulp helps well with corns, as well as with calluses, and that’s how I removed the calluses myself. You need to apply the crust to the sore spot, pre-steam your feet, wrap the top with cellophane and put on socks.
You can also try making compresses from raw potatoes, or honey, or from aloe leaves
You need to try foot baths and buy a socks mask. My heels have become rough lately.
I just love all kinds of foot baths with herbs. sea salt perfectly relieves heaviness from the legs (coniferous is best) I really like lotions for feet) in general, well-groomed legs are very cool))) I really like coffee cream. for legs. for corns I use a file like everyone else) and for cracks if they appear I buy Swiss Aftofix. It’s a wonderful remedy)) here’s my list))))
Thank you for your list of foot care products! In general, our feet love different baths.
Beautiful legs are, first of all, a complete ban on everything that depletes: potassium, calcium, magnesium, silicon, B vitamins. And this is all refined sugar, semolina, bread, flour, pasta, rice, candy, cakes, etc.;
— sunflower oil (margaine) (i.e., again, all baked goods, cakes, and other semi-finished products). It is useful - but what did you just squeeze out of seeds of northern origin (for example, Altai, because the south - Krsnodar began to be sown with oleic varieties, with gamma-tocopherol). And it can not be used. 2 tbsp per day. Omega-3 comes from greens a lot, fish oil is not necessary, and only that which has not been heated to +50.
And also a lot of greens, mostly cruciferous (pak choy, kale, broccoli are good). This is organic sulfur MSM (which in dietary supplements is made from dimexide, i.e. “from sawdust” :). And calcium-rich greens - chervil and dill are champions.
All this GUARANTEES excellent collagen synthesis (SYNTHESIS! - and not gelatin - which only causes kidney stones, arthritis, gout). This means: skin elasticity, elasticity of venous valves. Those. There will NEVER BE varicose veins!
Prohibition of an excess of omega-6 oil guarantees the absence of hormonal disorders, “riot” of prostaglandins-inflammation - which means again, slimness, healthy cartilage - joints and strong blood vessels, without cholesterol. Yes, it’s a paradox - there is no cholesterol in sunflower oil - but it is precisely this oil that causes atherosclerosis and cholesterol plaques. But at the dawn of the USSR, butter (from free-grazing cattle) was eaten “without measure” and no one reported CVD or diabetes.
Well, whole grains with a full complex of B vitamins go without saying. Without this there is no health.
And pay attention - do not allow blood to stagnate in the pelvis! And it’s not like the legs - they make a diagnosis of oncology of the reproductive organs! Because the symptoms are similar (falsely, of course, erroneously - but they still CUT! Do you understand?!)
