JAKARTA - Ignoring foot health can cause various disturbing things such as unpleasant odors, fungus, cracks, bacterial infections and various other things. To avoid this, you can do the following things to take care of your feet easily and you can do it independently at home, launches Verry Well Health, Tuesday, June 7.

Nail clippers

Trimming your nails regularly can make your toes look beautiful and prevent dirt from accumulating on your nails which can cause bad odors. Use a stainless steel nail clipper to trim your toenails. To prevent cuts that are too short, trim your toenails straight first, then round the corners using an emory board.

Soaking and scrubbing feet

Soaking the feet for 15 to 20 minutes can provide a calm and comfortable sensation. If you want, you can add aromatherapy oil or lemon slices in the soaking water. Soaking your feet can remove dead skin cells and soften the thick, hardened layer of skin on your heels, toes, and ankles.

Use warm water. Because water that is too hot can cause the skin to become dry and cracked. Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub your nails, ankles, back and soles of your feet.

Clean with lemon

You can use lemon to clean the nail and foot area. The method is quite easy, you just rub the lemon slices on the nails and feet slowly and rinse with water.

Olive oil

Olive oil contains natural antioxidants and fatty acids that are very effective for moisturizing the skin. You can apply olive oil after doing the above series of treatments by gently rubbing it all over the surface of your feet.
