Foot Hygiene Tips - How to keep the funk out of our funky socks.

Ok, let's be honest.  With the warm temperatures in the summer, we sometimes may get a bit of funk coming from our beloved feet at the end of the day. Gasp!  We don't want our hip and funky socks to start smelling funky too!  

Here are a few helpful tips to keep your feet smelling like roses:

1.  Check out those sexy feet.  You should take a visual check of your feet at least once a week.  You want to ensure you do not have symptoms of athlete's foot or a nail fungus.  Scaling of your skin between the toes may be a sign of athlete's foot and discoloration of your toenails is a sign of a nail fungus.  Take care of these right away! 

2. Keep those toenails trimmed.  This elevates any issues with ingrown toe nails. It is also a great excuse for the ladies to get a relaxing pedicure.  Oh, and we should mention is also assists in keeping your socks hole free:)

3.  Keep your feet clean and dry. Yes, like all parts of your body you should be scrubbing your feet while you are in the shower.  Keeping them clean and dry keeps the funk at bay.

4. Wear breathable footwear.  It lets the air within your foot to circulate warding off unwanted moisture and smell.

 

5.  Avoid bare feet in public areas. Seriously, that's just asking for trouble.  Ew!
