10 Ways On How To Deal With Smelly Feet

Have you got a problem with smelly feet and no matter what you do or have tried to rid the foot odor, the smell remains? Having smelly feet can be really unpleasant for you and everyone around you.. This problem is  known as bromhidrosis. If you want to deal with this now, take a look at the following tips to achieve stink-free feet.

1. A  quick rub with soapy water in the shower isn’t enough.  So when you wash your feet, exfoliate the entire surface of your foot with a washcloth,  brush, or any other abrasive mechanism and use anti-bacterial soap.

2. Salt pulls moisture out of your skin, reducing the amount of bacteria that can survive there. If you want to create an inhospitable environment for bacteria, bathe your tootsies in vinegar.

3. Putting on a dirty pair of socks for a second day in a row is essentially going to reheat that sweat, leading to a foul smell. Change your socks every day, especially if your feet tend to get sweaty.

4. Drink a lot of water. It is a better way to fight body odor.

5. Mix two tablespoons of Epsom salts in two quarts of warm to clean and freshen up the feet, this solution will also help keep feet dry.

6. Fill a bowl with warm water and oatmeal, squeeze oats till water is milky then soak for 10 minutes and pat dry.

7. It is best not to wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row – they need time to dry out. Remove the innersoles from to help with the drying.

8. Use a spray deodorant or antiperspirant on your feet. A normal underarm deodorant or antiperspirant works just as well as specialist feet products – and costs less!

9. Try soaking your feet in strong black tea for half an hour daily for 7 days. The tannic acid in the tea destroys bacteria and closes the pores keeping the feet dry for longer periods.

10. Wear open toe sandals in summer and go barefoot at home in the evenings.
