In summer, feet are put under a lot of strain. So there are a few recommendations to keep them in the best possible condition.
Summer is the perfect time to let your feet out in the open air. Sandals, flip-flops, slides, bare feet in the sand, they can finally breathe. However, it is always more enjoyable to have well-groomed feet to show them off. However, it is not always a reflex to take care of them and many mistakes are also made when caring for your feet.
First of all, it is necessary to wash your feet well during the shower, without forgetting the spaces between the toes, before drying them well. Elisa Siivonen, beautician at the Fenix beauty center, told the newspaper Iltalehtiadds that it is important to apply moisturizer to your feet daily, especially the soles of your feet. If your skin is dry and your heels are cracked, it is a sign of dehydration. The expert also recommends filing your feet once a month, preferably after showering.
In addition to foot care, another part is important: the nails. They must be cut straight and the white part must always remain at least slightly visible. You should not round the corners too much either because the nail protects the tip of the toe. Applying nail polish is not a problem if it is of good composition and you alternate with phases without nail polish in order to let your nails breathe in turn.

For sandals, avoid choosing the flattest ones, even 1cm in height is enough, and favor those with straps to better support the foot. It is also advisable to wear shower sandals around swimming pools to avoid a possible infection especially if you have fragile feet. If you follow all these tips, your feet will never have enjoyed the summer so much!
