As the temperature rises, our feet often bear the brunt of the heat. From increased sweat to exposure to various elements, the summer months can be particularly harsh on our feet. However, with a few simple tips and the right care, you can ensure your feet stay happy and healthy throughout the hot season. Here are three effective summer footcare tips.


Summer Footcare Tips


1. Maintain Proper Hygiene

Proper foot hygiene is essential, especially in the hot season when sweat and bacteria can cause unpleasant odors and infections. Here’s how to keep your feet clean and fresh:

  • Daily Washing: Make it a habit to wash your feet thoroughly every day. Use warm water and a mild soap to clean your feet, ensuring you scrub between the toes where bacteria and fungi can easily accumulate. Dry your feet completely, particularly between the toes, to prevent fungal infections like athlete’s foot.

  • Exfoliation: Exfoliate your feet regularly to remove dead skin cells and prevent the buildup of calluses. You can use a foot scrub or a pumice stone to gently exfoliate the skin. This not only keeps your feet smooth but also helps in preventing infections. We recommend JoEllen's Whipped Sugar Scrub available at Remedi Nail Spa.

  • Nail Care: Keep your toenails trimmed and clean. Long nails can harbor dirt and bacteria, leading to infections. Cut your nails straight across and avoid cutting them too short to prevent ingrown toenails.

2. Moisturize and Protect

The summer heat can dry out your feet, leading to cracks and discomfort. Proper moisturization and protection are key to keeping your feet soft and healthy:

  • Daily Moisturizing: Apply a good quality foot cream or lotion daily to keep your feet hydrated. Look for products that contain ingredients like urea, glycerin, or shea butter, which are effective in locking in moisture. At Remedi Nail Spa, we recommend Gehwol Extra Universal Foot Cream, known for its excellent moisturizing properties.

  • Sun Protection: Your feet are just as susceptible to sunburn as the rest of your body. When you’re out in the sun, don’t forget to apply sunscreen to the tops of your feet. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to provide adequate protection.

  • Proper Footwear: Wear shoes that provide good ventilation and support. Avoid walking barefoot in public places like pools and locker rooms to prevent infections. Opt for breathable materials like canvas or leather, and consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to keep your feet dry.

3. Regular Professional Care

Sometimes, home care isn’t enough, and professional attention is required to keep your feet in top shape. Here’s how regular visits to a nail spa can help:

  • Medical Pedicures: A medical pedicure at Remedi Nail Spa offers more than just cosmetic benefits. Our expert technicians provide thorough cleaning, trimming, and addressing any foot health issues like fungal infections or ingrown toenails. This ensures your feet are not only beautiful but also healthy.

  • Callus Reduction: Calluses can become particularly bothersome during the summer. Regular callus reduction treatments help in maintaining smooth and pain-free feet. Our waterless pedicure service is designed to effectively address calluses without the risk of infection.

  • Specialized Treatments: For those suffering from specific issues like fungal toenails or extreme dryness, our specialized treatments using products like Nail Mycosis Solution and Gehwol Extra can provide relief and promote healing.
