It is enough to follow a few rules so that the legs are healthy and well-groomed:.

* In the evening, be sure to wash your feet with warm water and soap. After the legs are slightly steamed, they should be treated with a pumice stone or a hard washcloth.. This will help remove dirt and dead cells.. Then rinse your feet with cool water, dry with a towel and lubricate with a rich, nourishing foot cream.. The cream should be applied in the direction from the toes to the heel.. Rub the cream with massaging movements. This will help relieve fatigue and tension, and make your skin soft, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net * If your feet are buzzing after a busy day, then do contrast foot baths. They will improve blood circulation and increase overall tone.. Alternate water several times. At the same time, keep your feet in hot water for 2 minutes, and in cold water - no more than 10 seconds.. Finish with cold water. Then carefully dry your feet with a towel, not forgetting the areas between the toes.. Apply cream and put on cotton socks.

* If you have corns, then hot soap and soda foot baths will help. Take 2 teaspoons of baking soda per liter of water and soak in this solution for 30 minutes. Then gently scrape off the callus with a pumice stone without touching healthy skin.. After the bath, lubricate the corn with a special anti-corn liquid or apply a corn patch (they are sold at a pharmacy).

*Some women experience sweaty feet. The sweat glands become overactive and excessive sweating can lead to chafing, making the skin an easy prey for fungi and pathogens.. Therefore, if you are faced with a similar problem, use special lotions or take hot baths with infusion of oak bark, chamomile decoction or strong tea (duration 10-15) minutes.

*If your feet are swollen, warm compresses will help.. Wrap your feet with a piece of cloth soaked in warm water. Then wrap with a warm scarf and leave overnight. It is advisable to repeat the procedure within a month.. Then take a break for a month and do it again.

* If you have cracked feet, starch or potato peel footbaths will help.. At the same time, potato peelings should be washed well, add a handful of flaxseed to them and boil until the consistency of a thick slurry. Then cool a little and put your feet in it for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and lubricate with a rich cream, rubbing it until it is completely absorbed.. Put on cotton socks.

Pedicure:.

An important step in the process of foot care is a pedicure..

* Push back the cuticles with a cuticle spatula, but do not cut it.

* Remove dirt and dead cells from under the nails with a wooden stick. Do not use sharp and metal objects, as they can damage the inner surface of the nail.

* Process nails with a nail file, in the direction from the edge to the middle.
