Puja means a lot of walking – you have to go from one pandal to another pandal with your friends. So first of all it is important to take care of the feet. A lot of pressure is passed on our feet every day. But even if we take care of our skin or hair, we do not think of taking care of our feet. But if you have cracked ankles, rough skin, what shoes are suitable for those feet? Foot care can be done at home if desired. It is not necessary to find time and go to the parlor (Durga Puja Skincare).
Keep these habits in daily care
- Avoid very hot water when cleaning feet. It is best to use lukewarm water and mild soap. Gently exfoliate with a pumice stone or foot scrub two to three days a week. However, excessive rubbing can damage the skin.
- After washing your feet, wipe them well and apply moisturizer immediately. Foot creams containing urea, shea butter or glycerin help to retain moisture in dry skin. Wear comfortable, breathable shoes and socks.
- Clean and dry your feet before going to bed at night. Then apply moisturizing cream or petroleum jelly on the ankles and wear soft cotton socks. It keeps the skin moist throughout the night.
- Aloe vera gel helps soothe dry and irritated skin. Coconut oil also helps to retain moisture in dry skin. You can also make a light 'foot soak' with oatmeal and milk if you want. However, if irritation or allergy occurs after using any ingredient, stop using it immediately.
- Most importantly, this maintenance should be done regularly. Moisturizing the skin of the feet every day is much more effective than treating after a cracked heel. But if the crack is deep, if there are signs of bleeding or infection, or if there is a physical problem like diabetes, don't forget to go for home remedies. In all such situations it is important to consult a doctor.
