Here are some home remedies to help your feet relax after a long night out and give them a massage or a long “bath” to relieve tense foot muscles.
1. Combat ingrown nail problems by soaking your feet in a liter of warm water with a tablespoon of Epsom Salts from a pharmacy for 15 minutes daily.
2. For corns, calluses and cracked heels, exfoliate feet once a week with a foot file for corns or massage with foot smoother.
3. Moisture and re-hydrate feet with foot creams. Put on moisturizing socks to ensure creams penetrate deeply and keep treatment on overnight. Don’t use body lotions as feet need a more intensive and richer moisturizer.
4. When cushioning footwear at home rather than walking barefoot on hard flooring.
5. Alternate your footwear and allow enough time for airing before wearing again.
