Stinky feet are extremely embarrassing since the stench that is left behind after the removal of shoes is normally unbearable. It is therefore important to ensure that you employ the essential techniques that will enable you to get rid of the foul odor. The process is moderately easy and the things that you will need include: Soap, Kosher salt (1/2 cup), Lemon juice (3 Tbsp.), socks and talcum or foot powder. The first thing that you should remember when you want to get rid of stinky feet is to keep them clean always. You can handle bacteria effectively when you wash the feet well since this is mainly the cause of the foul odor. In addition to this, you should also ensure that you apply lotion to your feet to prevent them from drying out.
Another thing technique that you can also implement is soaking your feet in water that has ½ cup of the kosher salt and also 3 Tbsp. of the lemon juice. When you are through with the soaking, which normally takes a period of about 15 minutes, you can let the feet dry without rinsing. There are many anti-perspirants and feet deodorants that are available in the market and you should rub them on your feet so that they can control the effects of the bacteria. In case you still suffer from stinky feet after trying these remedies, you should consider changing the socks that you wear twice daily if possible. Another thing that you should also do at this point is to wash the inside of your shoes so that you may be able to eliminate the bacteria that cause the foul odor.
Take the talcum powder or the anti-perspirants and sprinkle on your socks in order to keep the feet dry all through the day. Constant walking, running, etc during the day causes the feet to sweat and when it accumulates, the bacteria are triggered to release the foul odor. These techniques should be implemented in one’s daily lives routines because this is the only way of being sure that the feet will not stink when the shoes are removed. Having numerous pairs of shoes is also another great way of avoiding stinky feet since each pair will get sufficient time to breathe by allowing fresh air to flow freely. You will even have a higher self esteem when you are confident enough knowing that your feet are fresh and cannot cause air pollution when the shoes are removed.
