Save Your Summer Toes

How many of us are thinking every time we put on our flip flops about how our feet look. I know I look down and don't necessarily think do my shoes look awesome but are my feet in any shape to go "naked", yes, sock-free, with my bareness hanging out, or are they needing some attention and I better choose to cover those bad girls up with a ballet flat or a full on tennis shoe. It is summer time and frequent trips to the pool and beach can actually dry out your skin on your feet as well as contribute to the cracked heel look. So get out that pumice stone and don't be shy. My daughter had dry cracked feet the day after she was born and with that sweet newborn baby skin I felt so bad that it was cracking and dry. My fantastic pediatrician who we love gave me the best advice ever. It's a little ointment called Aquaphor. Yep, put that ointment on my babies cracked dry feet and within a day she was looking better. So I thought to myself if it's good enough for my baby girl it's good enough for me. So scrub away that dry skin, soak those feet in a lavender foot bath and throw some Aquaphor and socks on before you go to bed and help heal those tired cracked looking feet and let your feet breathe the rest of the summer and not be tired from the non-supportive flip flop, barefoot beach walking.
