Avoid Athletes Foot

Tips on Tuesday

It is common knowledge and my experience that prevention is far more pleasant than treatment of just about any ailment.  Athletes foot can certainly be prevented by adopting these simple habits:

Each time you exit the bath/shower use a hair dryer to thoroughly dry between all your toes...this is also a good time to improve your toe-spread....flexible toes are also happier toes.

Floss your toes with some soft gauze 2-3 times a week to remove any potential dampness or debris that can cause trouble....by the way, flossing between your toes feels sooo gooood!

Pull out the insoles of your shoes whenever possible to let them dry out between each wear.

Wear water friendly footwear in public showers instead of going barefoot to avoid picking up any fungus.

Use only your own towel to dry your feet. 

Wear moisture wicking socks when you are planning to work up a good sweat.

Applying some tender loving thought and care to your feet way down there is apt to put a smile on your face that you can share!

happy dry feet,
