Natural Foot Care Products

They say that to really get to know someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes, but what if those shoes are home to feet that are less than desirable?

We often do not pay enough attention to our feet, especially in the winter. And that is when problems such as athlete’s foot, cracked heels and bad odour start to occur.

These problems can go unchecked for a long time, and we often do not deal with them until they become overwhelming, painful or we are aware that our feet will be on show in summer flip flops.

But don’t worry! A good foot care routine is easy to implement, and it can help to keep your feet looking and feeling great all year round, no matter what you put them through.

What kind of problems can my feet suffer from?

Hard skin

One of the most common problems that most people’s feet encounter is hard skin.

This can build up on the parts of the feet that work the hardest, such as the heels and the underside of the toes.

Despite the fact that many of us have it, we very often ignore it. This can lead to it becoming cracked, sore and uncomfortable.

Hard skin is caused by repeated friction and pressure and in some cases, it can also turn into corns.

This should not be a cause for concern; it is your body’s way of protecting your skin from further damage. But you may want to address it if it becomes uncomfortable or looks less than attractive in summer flip flops.

Using a foot cream such as the Dr Organic Manuka Honey Foot & Heel Cream is a great way to tackle this.

The combination of manuka honey and a complex blend of extracts means that calluses are softened and eliminated, whilst dry and cracked areas of the feet are moisturised.

Athlete’s foot

Athlete’s foot is another common problem that most people will experience at some point in their lives.

This is a fungal infection that occurs when feet have become very sweaty, usually in tight fitting shoes.

It can begin to look like a scaly rash that can itch or sting. And one of the best ways to deal with this is with a product such as the Miaderma Athlete’s Foot Spray which is intended for the treatment and prevention of athlete’s foot.

What natural foot care products are there?

There are a whole range of different foot care products available, all harnessing the best that the natural world has to offer.

CBD is increasingly popular as an aid for foot discomfort.

CBD foot cream

The Jacob Hooy CBD Foot Cream combines CBD with vitamin E and menthol for a nourishing and fresh feeling. It is a vegan product which uses rosemary, eucalyptus and lavender essential oils to calm, nourish and care for dry skin.

Our feet might be what helps us to get from one place to another, but they are actually a tool for so much more.

Reflexology footpads

The Crystal Spring Detoxology Footpads contains 14 natural purifying footpads which can be worn overnight.

Foot deodorant

When we think of feet, many of us often think of that unfortunate odour associated with them.

The vegan-friendly Salt of the Earth Peppermint & Tea Tree Natural Foot Deodorant Spray uses a mix of natural mineral salts, essential oils and aloe vera to offer long-lasting and effective protection from foot odour.  

Pedicures

If your feet are in some serious needs of help, then the Magnitone Well Heeled 2 Rechargeable Express Pedicure System could be for you.

This uses long-lasting, micro-crystal rollers to gently buff away dry, hard and rough skin from the soles and heels. This is much easier to use than foot files or pumice stones, and is a splashproof and fast drying path to salon-soft feet.

These products are an amazing way to help you put your best foot forwards, knowing that your feet feel fantastic, look great and smell fresh.

This is something that can now be achieved by using gentle and natural containing products, ensuring that you really do give your feet a treat.
