How to Have Happy and Healthy Feet for the Summer

  The warmer months are the time to swap winter boots and heavy socks for strappy sandals and let your feet get some air. But with that freedom comes a new set of concerns to keep in mind. Before you step out, make sure you’re covering the basics of keeping feet healthy all summer long:

Slather on the SPF

 You know you should protect your face, arms and legs with sunscreen, but it can be easy to forget about your extremities. Your hands and feet are just as vulnerable to sun damage as the rest of your body, and a painful sunburn on your feet can make wearing shoes uncomfortable. When applying sunscreen, pay special attention to the tops of your feet, and be sure to re-apply as needed (every two hours, or more if your feet get wet or very sweaty).

Wash Your Feet Regularly

 This may seem obvious, but keeping your feet clean in the summer is extremely important, particularly if you spend time outdoors barefoot or in thin-soled sandals.
To protect yourself, remove your sandals before you enter your home and promptly wash your feet with warm water and soap every day.

Don’t Wear Flip Flops All the Time

 They’re easy, comfortable and fun, but besides making it easy for you to pick up germs, flip-flops can do a number on your posture and lead to orthopedic problems.
 A study at Auburn University found that when people walk in flip-flops, they take smaller strides than they do in athletic shoes, and tend to dig their toes into the sandals to help keep them from sliding around. As a result, flip-flop wearers may experience pain in the feet, hips and lower back. If you’d rather not cover your feet up in the summer, consider ditching your flip-flops (or reserving them just for the beach) and investing in a supportive pair of sandals for daily wear.

Let Your Shoes Air Out

 To protect yourself, let your footwear air out completely before you put it on, and wear fresh socks (preferably cotton) every day. To dry shoes quickly, try stuffing them with crumbled pieces of newspaper, which will absorb the moisture. (Just be sure to replace it every few hours, or whenever it begins to feel damp.)

Keep Your Feet Exfoliated and Moisturized

 Exfoliate your feet daily with a metal foot file, pumice stone or a grainy foot scrub. Moisturize them at the end of the day with a thick lotion to keep them hydrated. For a treat, try a cream with peppermint oil; it will feel especially cooling after a long, hot day.

Drink Plenty of Water

 Many people spend more time outdoors (and on their feet) in the summer, which can cause feet and ankles to swell—often because of dehydration. When you don’t get enough water, your blood becomes slightly thicker, which hampers circulation and can lead to uncomfortable swelling. Aim to carry water with you at all times, particularly if the weather is very hot, and drink often (even if you aren’t thirsty).

How to get a dark & even tan fast

  Tan is still preferred by many people, even if prolonged exposure to sunlight increases the risk of skin cancer.
With alternative solutions, solar bronze or bronzer, do not always give you the look you want. If you want a nice and quick tan without putting your health at risk, here are some important six tricks to tan faster.

Exfoliate before you tan

 A beautiful and durable bronze occurs when the skin is well exfoliated. Layers of dead tissue may affect later bronze if is not eliminated.
It is important to carefully exfoliate the skin in a gentle way, paying extra attention to areas with thicker skin: elbows and knees.Once you exfoliate your skin, it is important to properly protect with moisturizer and tanning lotion.

                                         

Tanning Lotion

Regardless of skin tone, ultraviolet radiation can harm the skin. Even if you want a quick tan, it is important to use a sunscreen lotion with an SPF of at least 15. If you do not protect your skin, the risk of burns is great and even if you get the tan that you want, it will last less because the burnt skin is peeling quickly. If you swim either in the pool or in the sea, it is important to reapply the lotion on all sun-exposed skin areas.

Position

 Long exposure of skin to direct sunlight is not recommended even for healthy skin, not even for a good tanned skin. If you want an uniform tan, turn back on the belly or back within 30 minutes while sitting in the sun. Some women prefer a topless tan, but remember that nipples are the most susceptible to sunburn as the rest of your skin.

The movement after the sun

 Avoid the period 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. when ultraviolet rays are at full intensity. Tan up in the morning until about 11 am or afternoon, shortly before 17:00. Once the skin starts to change hue in a few days, you can spend more time in the sun to get the perfect tan.

Hydration after shower

 Perhaps the most important step for a quick tan is hydration  after sun exposure. Take a quick shower, but do not use soap on the body. soap or shower gel are stronger and  delay the tan.
After shower it is important to apply a moisturizing lotion possibly one created specifically for times after the beach, which helps the skin retain moisture. Thus, your skin will be ready the next day to continue to tan quickly and efficiently.

Nutrition

 First drink plenty of water, water provides the best skin moisturizers.
Vitamins B1 and B2 which are found in meat, vegetables and dairy which favorize the release of melanin in the body. Eat vegetables such as spinach or lettuce, green or white tea and eat carrots daily.
Vitamin E is found in nuts, olive oil, soy and egg yolk. As for chocolate,do not avoid, because it accelerates tan (of course, we should not exaggerate with doses).
