"Be sure to put your feet in the right place, then stand firm." Even way back then, Abraham Lincoln knew the importance of paying close attention to your feet. Our feet often take a back seat when we consider skin care, which seems negligent when we consider how important our feet are to us. In fact, our feet are the most strained and overworked parts of our bodies, so they deserve to be pampered. Ignoring our feet can result in ingrown nails, bunions, chapping, infections, dryness and cracking. The bottom line is that happy feet equals a happy you. Aside from keeping your feet clean and wearing shoes that fit properly, it's important to practice good foot skin care.
