Easy Tips to Have Beautiful Feet:

A person spends a lot of time each day walking or standing on his feet. Still we tend to neglect them. In order to take proper care of your feet follow these tips:

(i) Exercising :
The first important point to remember is to buy shoes of right size and also consider the length of heels. It is preferrable to buy shoes in the afternoon or evening when the feet are swollen from the day's walking so that you get the right size.

Next important point to remember is to exercise your feet. Just because you have been walking all day long that does not mean your feet have been exercised. You need to relax your tired feet muscles. Sit comfortably in a chair and clench your toes, then relax them - do this about 5-10 times each day.
Next draw circles in the air with your feet, one foot at a time - first in clockwise direction then in anti-clockwise direction. This strengthens the ankle muscles.

(ii) Bathing the feet :
Besides exercising, also have a footbath in the evenings on a regular basis. Take a basin of warm water and add a little salt to it. Then soak your feet in this. This should provide instant relief to your aching feet. You can also apply a lotion of glycerine and rose water. After your feet dry, apply talc.

(iii) Massaging the feet:
You can massage your feet with useful lotions. Below you can find a recipe to make feet lotion at your home so that you doo not have to buy expensive products from market.

Mix together (in a bowl) half water and half lemon juice, then gently dip a paper towel into the mixture and apply to feet. This Softens and smoothes the feet and removes foul odors.
