N Skin Care Alert

Put your best foot forward

There’s a big shoe sale in your favorite mall and you rush off to find a pair of sandals to go with your new dress. You spot a sexy pair and slip them on your feet. The strappies look perfect – but your feet seem as if they endured a long trek to the mountains.

However, you’re not alone. Millions of women suffer from having bad feet. Dry, flaky skin, dark patches from scars, insect bites or other physical traumas, chafing and blisters are some common foot problems. 

Foot for thought

It is estimated that the average person walks at least 112,500 kilometers or 70,000 miles in a lifetime! Though your feet take most of the strain, they are often the most neglected part of the body.

Think of this: your feet spend hours at the office, waiting in lines, running errands, hurrying to appointments, traveling on short- and long-term trips, hitting the floor during powerful workouts, and just keeping up with the day-to-day rush they endure. Plus, your feet can’t be modified or improved by diet, exercise or even plastic surgery.

Nowadays, women are stepping beyond just having nice pairs of shoes for great-looking feet. Indeed, what’s more important is the health of your feet. Here are some tips on how to keep your feet healthy: 

●  Buy shoes that fit. Shop late in the day when your feet are at their largest.

●  Change your socks, tights or stockings daily to prevent odor and avoid infections.

● Keep your toenails trimmed.

● Wash and dry your feet every day with an anti-bacterial soap like Godiva Green Tea Transparent Soap.

● Ease foot fatigue and moisturize by applying Godiva Squalane Cool Anti-Stress Lotion during nighttime. Massage gently  to soothe tired feet and relieve minor aches and pains.

● To lighten scars on feet and even out skin tone, apply Godiva Licorice Whitening Lotion mornings and evenings.

So, put your best foot forward by following the tips we’ve given – and do justice with the new strappy sandals you’ve just bought!
