A pedicure once a month is not enough. You need to take care almost on a daily basis. Most of the foot problems are caused because of neglect and almost no maintenance of your feet. You must pamper your feet once in a while and give them special treatment and also care for them every day.

Following tips will help you ****to take care of your feet:
Scrub your feet with a foot scrubber as it removes the dry cells. Then, apply moisturizer generously.
Apply foot cream before going to bed, to avoid cracked heels.
Avoid wearing high heels as they put pressure on the feet. Ill-fitting shoes or weakened arches may cause corns and calluses. Hence selection of proper shoes is essential. If at all you suffer from corns and calluses, use corn remover pads and ointments, after consulting your physician.
• **To prevent foot odor **[due to perspiration], use odor-control products that comprise of foot powders, foot sprays and specially designed insoles. These keep the feet dry and fresh as well as prevent foot odor.
