Riddle # 1: What does a dog say? (ans)’RUFF’
Riddle # 2: How do your hands and feet feel?(ans)ROUGH.
But, they don’t have to be.
Let’s start with those dancing feet.
They walk thousands and thousands of miles during your lifetime. Sometimes in ill fitting shoes. They sweat(ok ok perspire). You walk barefoot(so do I). You trudge through hot sand on the beach in the summer and stuff them into non-breathable rubber boots in the snow.
And doing all that, you expect them to stay baby smooth? I think not! Your feet take a lot of abuse, for two important parts of your body.
Here are some tips, I hope will help.
1- Keep your feet clean and dry.
2- Wash them with your regular soap(every day!) and use a pumice stone to rub away rough areas.
3- Use a lotion or moisturizer every night before bedtime. Don’t be afraid to slather it on. Petroleum jelly can also be used. Place cotton socks on your feet to help the moisturizer work.
And do your feet a favor. Treat them to a pedicure once in a while. Your feet will thank you for it!
Now, on to your hands.
1- Same as with feet. Keep them clean and dry.
2- Use rubber gloves when washing dishes, or cleaning the bathroom or doing anything that involves submerging your hand in hot water, or strong detergents or cleaners.
3- Moisturize every night, as you do with your feet. Slather the moisturizer on and wear cotton gloves to sleep in.(Alright, I know there are times you don’t want to be wearing socks and gloves to bed, give me a break! Don’t wear them on those nights! heh heh heh.)
And do your hand a favor too, they deserve a manicure once in a while.
Follow this and you’ll have happy hands and feet!
And this means you too guys! Care of hands and feet is not just for women.
