When it comes to foot care, choosing which specific products to use can seem overwhelming. Most beauty stores and cosmetic lines sell their own brand of foot care products, including moisturizers and scrubs. While some of these are higher quality foot products with ingredients and properties that actively cater to foot health, many of them don’t differ from moisturizers and scrubs for the rest of the body.
Using professional foot care products helps ensure that you’re getting more than just average products to take care of your feet. Professional foot care solutions contain specialized ingredients and are specifically formulated for good foot health. If you suffer from conditions like arthritis, calluses, or diabetes, specialized foot products are typically safer to use and will help treat your conditions more effectively.
At FootStore.ca, we believe in providing quality foot care solutions to Canadians to ensure their feet can be in tip top shape!
Where to Use Professional Products for Foot Health
Pedicures
Too many foot problems and conditions stem from unprofessional pedicures. Ingrown toenails, foot fungus, toenail fungus, cuts, and abrasions are just some of the most common conditions that can arise from unclean or unsafe pedicures.
Pedicurists should always be using clean utensils and operate in a clean, sterilized environment. They should be using professional salon products that are formulated for optimal foot health. Diseases and fungi can be spread extremely easily during pedicures. It’s important that you ensure your salon or esthetician is using professional foot care products and practices on your feet.
Splints
Many people suffering from bunions, claw toes, and hammer toes think that invasive surgery is the only way to correct these conditions. However, a variety of less extreme solutions exist for people who want relief from pain and discomfort from bunions and claw or hammer toes!
Toe splints that can be worn either in the day or over night to provide relief. These typically come in various sizes or are adjustable to suit your unique feet. These products range in price, depending on their use, and can only cost a few dollars. These professional foot and toe splints can help alleviate pain or even work over time to correct the issue without any surgery.
Diabetes
If you suffer from diabetes, you should always use foot care products specially formulated for diabetics. These usually contain ingredients that are suitable for sensitive skin and won’t cause itchiness or swelling in the feet.
It’s important for foot care products for diabetics to be formulated so as not to create the opportunity for fungus, blisters, or abrasions to occur. It’s very easy for these to go unnoticed and get infected, causing a variety of health problems for those living with diabetes.
There are diabetic foot products available from professional foot care lines, including moisturizers, scrubs, lotions, sprays, and soaks. Always do your research before buying any foot care product if you suffer from diabetes!
Odour
There are tons of products on the market for removing foot or shoe odour. How can you choose the right one? Many of them consist of just alcohol, water, and some type of artificial smell (often peppermint). If you’re just looking to freshen up after a walk on your lunch break, these may be enough.
If you spend all day on your feet, are an athlete, or otherwise suffer from foot odour, your permanent solution will likely need to be more robust. Ensure you’re using a spray or lotion that is specially formulated by a professional foot health company to remove odour and keep it away. Don’t just mask the smell with peppermint oil – you need a formulation that removes the odour-causing bacteria so it doesn’t continue to grow.
Moisturizer
How many hand or body lotions did you try until you found the right one? Not too thick, not too thin, not too greasy, not too smelly, long lasting, effective – these are just some of the requirements for body lotion and they apply just as well to foot lotion as well.
Everybody has different skin and needs for their lotion. Experiment and ensure that the moisturizer you use for your feet fosters healthy skin without any redness, itchiness, or residual grease. Double check the ingredients, particularly if you have allergies, diabetes, or sensitive skin, to make sure that they are all suitable for you.
