Your feet have been wrapped in warm socks, boots or closed shoes all winter, but the sunny weather and the heat is the perfect excuse to start paying a little more attention to them and showing them off. But the reality is that most of us walk between 15,000 and 20,000 steps a day, something that is undoubtedly thanks to our feet.
During the winter, the feet, having been closed for so long, may have developed warts, ingrown toenails, athlete’s foot, fungus, etc. And also, now with the arrival of summer, you may be worried about whether your feet sweat or smell more than necessary. But it is possible to prevent your feet from sweating in summer so that you can show off spectacular feet without fear.
How to prevent your feet from sweating in summer?
- One of the easiest ways to beat sweaty feet is to start a daily foot care routine. You will have to start by washing the feet as a routine with warm soapy water. The antibacterial soap will help you keep your feet clean and with a better smell, it will also make your feet have less sebum so they will sweat less.
- When you go to dry your feet it is very important that you dry them very well, especially between the toes to avoid the appearance of fungus. If you have hard skin on your feet, you will need to gently remove it with a pumice stone, but this should only be done once a week to avoid peeling off too many layers of skin. If the skin is very hard or painful, do not do it yourself and go to your podiatrist, especially if it is calluses.
- At the end of the routine and when your feet are completely dry, apply a moisturizing cream all over the foot, but avoid getting it between the toes as the humidity will favor athlete’s foot.
- Also, to prevent your feet from sweating too much during the summer you can wear open shoes.
