take better care of my feet

I’m slowly but surely eliminating those huge crevices that reside in the heels of my feet and finally, I can go to bed at night and rub my feet together without the sensation of sandpaper scraping against my skin. Just a little further to go; another week and I reckon I’ll be tripping the light fantastic on smooth skin :-)

I bought one of those foot file things-disgusting I know and have been using it (almost) every day since I got it. I’ve also been using an exfoliating scrub on them in the shower, putting moisturizing cream on them after exfoliating and then putting cotton socks on afterwards. Although the socks don’t stay on very long…it’s incredibly hot here.

I’ve been giving myself long foot baths, and I bought a pedicure set for my cuticles and nails. I’ve also been treating my nails for a weird fungus problem that has plagued me for years, and filing down my disgusting dry cracked heels.

I haven’t been as good about putting lotion on my feet before bed every night. I will try a little harder with that.

I also want to get the Ped-Egg thingy that’s on TV. I keep hearing good things about that.

I think maybe just a few more weeks to a month before I’m not too ashamed to get a professional pedicure!

(8/4/08) I go barefoot most of the time and now my heels are dry and rough. Sometimes they even crack. It’s not pleasant. I really need to start soaking them on a regular basis and applying more moisturizer. I think I’ll start tonight with a long soak in my Dr Scholl’s Footbath.

I’ve had some issues with my left foot for a few months. Went to the doctor today, got a prescription, and everything should be back to normal in a few weeks. But I’ll be really happy to have healthy feet again…

My feet look quite bad right now because I’ve got blisters and dead skin coming off. But I have been taking foot baths regularly and I’ve also put creme om fy feet almost every night when going to bed. So I hope they’ll be fine soon. I also bought a new foot creme and some products for foot baths, but I haven’t tried them yet.

Painted my toenails and am using my foot file every time I get out of the shower. Of course, sandal season is motivating!

I found out during the weekend that my feet are much softer and smoother than my girlfriends so I think its safe to mark this one off as done.

I noticed the other day that my feet have a fair amount of thick dry skin on them, especially at my heels. Given that sandal weather will be coming soon and that dry cracked heels are a real pain to deal with, I need to do something about it and keep it up throughout the summer to make sure it doesn’t become an issue.

I need to tend to them more regularly.
