Foot care

1. Check your feet - try to look at your feet regularly - pay particular attention to the soles, heels and the area between your toes. This way you will notice any changes and adjust your care to the needs of your skin. 
2. Wash your feet with mild preparations in warm water. Hot water and soaps can have a drying effect on the skin.
3. Dry your feet thoroughly - infections tend to develop in damp areas, so make sure you dry the area between your toes thoroughly.
4. Use specialist foot care products - proper moisturising, protection against excessive perspiration, heel care and prevention of corns are the basic principles to keep your feet healthy and beautiful.

Foot abrasions occur as a result of the skin reacting to friction and pressure - most commonly from ill-fitting footwear.

The most common symptoms:

1. rough, hard, yellowed skin that has developed at the site of pressure,
2. skin sensitive to touch,
3. pain when wearing shoes.

Corns can be prevented with BALERINA SOS stick against abrasions and blisters, which forms a protective layer on the skin surface.
