How Should you Use Foot Scrubs?

It is almost impossible these days to avoid our feet being sore at some point. Dr. Jeff Bowman, foot specialist in Houston, TX often reminds his patients that a little attention can make a big difference in the health of their feet. If your feet need some extra TLC, try a foot scrub the next time you take a shower or bath. Foot scrubs are a great way to remove dead skin and bacteria from the soles of your feet that cause odor and infections and get your feet feeling clean and refreshed.

Whether you buy a foot scrub like Baby Feet (available at our office) or make a homemade version, follow these easy tips to get the most out of your efforts:
  • Use a scrub with moisturizers such as shea butter or coconut oil and anti-fungal properties such as tea tree or grape seed oil. An ingredient like peppermint oil is great for tired feet as it stimulates circulation.
  • Always soak feet first to soften skin then rub a teaspoon of the scrub over your soles and heels. Rinse it off well and dry your feet thoroughly, especially between your toes. Leaving extra moisture provides a place for bacteria to thrive. 
  • End your foot scrub with applying a good lotion or moisturizer to keep feet from drying out.
It is important if you have an injury, wound or a condition such as diabetes to consult Dr. Bowman to make sure a foot scrub is safe for your feet. If you have any foot questions or an injury that needs treatment, call our office at (713) 467-8886 or visit us at www.houstonfootspecialists.com.
