Treat your feet

-

· Whether you love to swim, walk or practise yoga, exercise regularly.

· Before buying a new style, try on both shoes and make sure you walk around to suss the fit. More often than not, one foot will be slightly different to the other. It is important to fit the larger size.

· Maintain hydration with at least eight glasses of water a day.

· Soften calluses with a pumice stone, pumice-based paste or salt scrub.

· Soothe cracked heels or dry, rough skin by applying a hydrating moisturise­r before going to sleep. Look for natural ingredient­s such as coconut, olive or avocado oils and sleep with a pair of socks on so the oils can fully absorb into the skin. · Cut your toenails carefully, wash and dry your feet thoroughly.

· A foot massage can help with muscular pain and circulatio­n. For a restorativ­e foot treatment that relaxes your feet as well as your mind, consider reflexolog­y.
