Put your best foot forward
Pedicures are a wonderful way to pamper yourself, but you don’t have to wait for one to take care of your feet.
Use a thick cream* on your feet before bed – really slather it on. Then put on a clean pair of cotton socks, and sleep with the socks on. Your feet will love you for it. (Besides, it’s cold, and you’ll sleep better with warm, socked feet!)
Use the same thick cream* on your feet before putting on your socks and shoes for exercise. If your feet are prone to blisters, try wearing two pairs of socks. Sweaty feet also benefit from special athletic socks that wick moisture from your feet.
*Some people like petroleum jelly for this, others prefer a cream made just for feet. Use your favorite product, just make sure it’s really thick, not just lotion.
