Any self-respecting woman should bewell-groomed from head to toe. How could it be otherwise? Otherwise, a woman simply does not love and respect herself. Therefore, all sorts of excuses about lack of time are just an excuse for inattention and neglect of one's own person. However, even a perfectly well-groomed woman can face some almost insoluble problems. It is clear that many shortcomings can be easily hidden with skillfully selected clothes or the right makeup and hairstyle. But what about what cannot be hidden? For example, how to get rid of sweaty feet? Sweaty feet, of course, are more of a man's problem. However, women also suffer from this affliction. Not only does such a problem cause terrible discomfort (slippery feet, wet tights and socks), but also a smell that can interrupt the aromas of the most expensive perfumes and the best deodorants. Therefore, it is necessary to fight this problem in the most effective ways. And what measures can rid us of this problem - let's figure it out.

Footwear

Firstly, quality shoes made from"breathing" materials, helps to get rid of this problem at least partially. But most of us are forced to be content with fashionable and beautiful boots, sandals and shoes made of artificial leather and other synthetic materials. Sometimes due to financial capabilities, and sometimes, paying tribute to fashion (popular rubber boots, for example). But it is almost impossible to find a person whose feet would not sweat in such shoes. Therefore, try to follow (as far as possible) these rules.

Try to wear genuine leather shoes.

During the season, wear at least two pairs of shoes alternately (in the summer - two pairs of sandals, in the winter - two pairs of boots).

Try to purchase shoes with a woven, cloth or perforated top.

Even if your feet do not smell, change socks and stockings daily.

If the shoes can be washed or washed from the inside, then be sure to do this at least once a month.

Keep shoes in ventilated cabinets.

Try using insoles that absorb odor.

When taking off shoes, put pouches with deodorizing agents (shavings of coniferous trees, for example).

Such measures will help not only to get rid of the unpleasant odor resulting from sweaty feet, but also to reduce this sweating.

Hygiene products

The best remedy for sweating isRegular washing of feet with regular (or better yet, antibacterial) soap. This product is actually the best, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work for very long. Of course, you can start using a special ointment, cream or gel right away, but try simple hygiene products that you definitely (or most likely) have. We are talking about regular antiperspirants that I use under my arms. They are equally effective on all parts of the body, including reducing foot sweating. Before putting on clean tights or socks, just spray or smear your feet with such a deodorant. To prevent odor, sprinkle your feet (before putting on clean stockings) with regular talcum powder or baby powder. They act as dehydrators, absorbing sweat well, and suppressing the growth of bacteria that cause odor. A special foot massage using tea tree, cypress, lavender or orange oil will also help get rid of this nuisance. Foot baths with a few manganese crystals added are also effective. Ten-minute baths are recommended no more than two or three times a week. Dry your feet with a hair dryer, setting it to the lowest temperature. The principle of drying and warming at the same time is in effect here. This method helps to avoid the development of infections and fungal diseases. It is especially recommended for those who are predisposed to such diseases.

Folk methods

Hydrotherapy is excellent for treating sweaty feet.For example, tea foot baths. Two bags of regular black tea should be boiled for fifteen minutes in a liter of water. Then the bags are thrown away, and a couple more liters of water are added to the tea leaves. This "tea" is allowed to cool and then the feet are kept in it for half an hour. Such (daily!) baths reduce sweating due to the tannins in the tea, which tighten the pores and kill bacteria. Baths with the addition of oak bark, chamomile or horsetail infusion are no less effective, which can also be prepared at home. To do this, pour two tablespoons of dry chamomile, horsetail or oak bark with two liters of boiling water and let the herbs brew. After the procedure, it is recommended to powder the feet with talc. Deodorizing foot bath. A glass of apple cider vinegar is diluted in a basin of warm water, to which a few drops of thyme oil are added (it contains an antiseptic that kills bacteria). Keep your feet in this solution for twenty minutes, and do the baths every day for one week. After some time, repeat the procedures. However, vinegar baths are contraindicated for open or non-healing wounds.

Special Tools

Don't pass by the pharmacy if your feet are sweatyhas become a real problem for you. Special products will help to solve it. Perhaps a cream or ointment will suit you, which you will start using. It is best to buy a special cream that normalizes sweating and has deodorizing properties. You can use a universal product designed for application to the soles of the feet, palms and armpits. True, such a cream will be quite expensive. But you can buy a special foot cream, for example, the domestically produced Five Days cream. This cream helps to get rid of excessive sweating and unpleasant odor, and also softens the skin of the feet and prevents the appearance of diaper rash and cracks. Well-known cosmetic companies also produce products for sweaty feet. This includes Dove cream and Vichy deodorant cream. Algel antiperspirant gel (also from the category of expensive drugs) will help with excessive sweating. This product blocks the work of the sweat glands and is considered very effective. Among all kinds of ointments, it is worth noting the time-tested Teymurov paste (very effective, and ridiculously cheap). However, this remedy is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women. In fact, it is possible to list all the creams, ointments, pastes and gels available for sale indefinitely. Special hygienic and medicinal products for getting rid of sweaty feet are available in pharmacies in abundance. Some of them are intended for daily use, others are used less often. Only when choosing a foot cream, be sure to read the instructions, paying special attention to contraindications. And even better, consult a doctor. By the way, excessive sweating can be caused not only by hot weather or bad shoes, but also by diseases of internal organs or problems with the endocrine system. So it is still worth visiting a doctor if folk methods or cosmetic (hygienic) products do not help. Be healthy and beautiful! We advise you to read:
