A Sprinkle of Foot Powder a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

You may not have trouble with your feet now, but foul odors, bacteria and uncomfortable, itchy feet are maladies that many of us experience at least once in our lifetime. Foot care is an important, yet oft-overlooked part of an overall hygiene regime and will help to reduce your susceptibility to the likes of athlete's foot, Bromhidrosis (smelly feet) and Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Sweat and moisture are the leading causes of fungi and bacteria that result in the myriad of foot ailments. Foot powder is designed to absorb excess moisture and combat odor and is a simple and inexpensive way to prevent or fight the ravages of foot disease and to ensure that reinfection does not occur.

But before you go rushing out to stock up on every brand of feet powder you can find, be sure to follow these basic, yet effective foot care tips:

• Clean your feet regularly. Use anti-bacterial soap if possible.
• Keep your shoes dry and clean; wear a number of different pairs in rotation if possible to allow sufficient time for each pair to 'air out'.
• Avoid synthetic sock materials. Wear socks that allow your feet to breathe.
• Footbalms can also be very benificial.
• And of course, feet powder serves as a wonderful complement to all of these measures. Using it before the onset of typical symptoms (itchiness, irritation) can go a long way to ensuring your feet stay healthy.
