Trim your nails


Overgrown nails serve as a magnet for the filth that collects beneath them and as a haven for fungus diseases. Maintain neat, short toenails. Trim your toenails regularly to make washing your feet simpler and reduce the amount of filth that collects there.

Apply a quality foot lotion or moisturiser every day to keep your feet moisturised, shield them from allergens, and maintain the softness and smoothness of the heels. Once in the morning after getting out of the shower and once at night before bed, moisturise dry feet. Make an investment in a quality foot lotion that will keep your feet moisturised, stop allergies, and maintain soft, smooth heels.

You should resist the urge to give in and go barefoot on the chilly floor or on the soggy grass during the rainfall. Walking barefoot increases the risk of developing warts and creates an environment that is conducive to bacterial and fungal infections, both of which are challenging to cure.


If your feet become wet in dirty rainfall, immediately apply an excellent antifungal talcum powder to dry feet and let them air for a few minutes before putting on shoes or socks.
