Getting regular footcare is a great way to provide basic care for your feet. What is foot care? Foot care is treatment for the feet and toenails that cleans your feet, provides nail care and foot/calve massages. Contrary to popular belief, foot care is NOT just for women! It is beneficial for every one. Here are the top six benefits of getting foot care regularly. Early Detection of Problems... Receiving regular foot care can help detect early signs of corns, bunions and fungal infections. These conditions are easier to treat when they are identified in its earlier stages. Decreases Chances of Infections Clipping, cutting and cleaning of the toe nails prevents them from growing inward and causing infection. The elimination of dirt and bacteria from your feet will also help prevent nail diseases, disorders (fungi) and foot odors. It is also important to keep toenails healthy because they protect toes from trauma. Preserves Skin’s Moisture Foot Care can include soaks in warm water and massages with oils and lotions that help preserve the moisture and integrity of your feet. Moisturized feet are less likely to get blisters, cracks or other foot problems. It is also important to keep your cuticles moisturized to prevent nails from growing out with ridges or split ends which can cause the nails to lift out of the nail beds. Exfoliates the Feet Exfoliation, or removal of dead skin cells, prevents the cells from accumulating and causing bunions or corns, which can be uncomfortable and painful. The removal of the dead skin on your feet, especially on the heel, encourages new cell growth which creates smoother and more attractive feet. Promotes Circulation The most enjoyable part of foot care is the massage. Massaging helps promote circulation and helps relieve tension in the calves and feet. Increase in blood circulation can reduce pain and help distribute heat throughout your body. Relaxes the Body Foot care can be very relaxing. It helps you relieve stress and can be therapeutic. According to the British NHS information, "massage therapy eases tension, stiffness and enhances well-being. Feet get little care compared to other parts of your body such as your hands and face. Healthy feet are vital to our overall health so don’t neglect them!
