editor Caring for your feet is vital for overall health and comfort. Since your feet support your body all day, they face a lot of stress and pressure. Start by keeping them clean: wash daily with gentle soap, and make sure to dry them well, especially between the toes. Regularly trim toenails straight across to avoid ingrown nails. Moisturize your feet to prevent dryness and cracks, but steer clear of applying lotion between the toes to reduce the risk of fungal infections.
