Make sure to wash your feet while you’re in the shower and scrub in between your toes. Don’t forget to use soap, so your feet are left smelling fresh and clean!

Dry your feet and get all the water between your toes! When your skin is left moist, it becomes a breeding ground for fungi that can make your feet smelly!

Keep your toenails trimmed! Long nails provide a space for bacteria to grow, so while you’re washing your feet, give your nails a good scrub, especially underneath those toenails!

Get rid of the dead skin! Dead skin makes your feet look all dry and hard, but when it’s wet, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria! So file your feet and keep them nice and smooth!

Change your socks every day! Your feet are sweaty, and the sweat collects on your socks, so make sure to change your socks often!

Sticking to one pair of shoes means you’re sweating and making the same shoe moist every day without giving it a chance to breathe! Wet shoes are an ideal space for bacteria to grow, so alternate your shoes!
