Whether you’re spending Independence Day indoors or outdoors, always make sure to take good care of your feet!

Happy Independence Day, fellow Malaysians! No matter how you’re celebrating this public holiday, don’t let the painful feet ruin your day off. Read on for some tips to keep your feet healthy and holiday-ready.

Going on a vacation

Travelling can be exciting, but nothing ruins a trip with sore feet and other foot problems. So, start by choosing the right shoes to keep your feet safe and injury-free on your vacation. Always check on any minor injuries and ensure they don’t get infected. Put on Ellgy Plus Cracked Heel Cream to keep your feet moisturized when exposed to rough weather and harsh conditions.

Holiday shopping

Whether you're spending the holiday working or going on a shopping spree, standing for a long period on a hard floor puts excessive pressure on your heels, causing the skin to crack. Meanwhile, walking in tight-fitting shoes brings discomfort when the friction against your skin makes heel dryness and cracking worse, resulting in soreness and blisters.

After a long day of being on your feet, soaking them in warm salt water for 20-30 minutes helps to relieve the pain and remove any dead skin. This improves the absorption of moisturizer, like Ellgy Plus Cracked Heel Cream, or Ellgy Plus D Factor if you have severely dry and cracked heels. Before going to bed, try relaxing with some foot stretches to reduce muscle tension on your feet and also to keep it strong and healthy.

Staying at home

If you're a homebody or have no plans to head out on your day off, perhaps it’s a good idea to indulge in a “me-day”, with some foot care to get rid of those tired-looking feet at the comfort of your home.

Pamper your feet by starting with a foot soak of your choice! Leave your feet in for 15-20 minutes and don’t forget to clean between your toes and gently scrub your heels to reduce any rough patches. Pat dry, then take some time to trim your nails, file them to your desired shape, and keep them nourished with some cuticle oil.

After that, soothe your feet with a rich, chemical-free moisturizer, like Ellgy Plus Cracked Heel Cream or aloe vera gel, then slip on a pair of socks to help lock in the moisture and hydration. Alternatively, you could apply a base coat to your toenails, polish them with your favorite color for pretty feet, and protect it with a top coat after moisturizing.

Whether you’re working, travelling, or staying at home, it’s never too late to get started with basic foot care. In fact, it only takes a few easy steps to keep your feet in optimal condition during the holidays. Start by using Ellgy Plus Cracked Heel Cream as a daily moisturizer for your feet and get them at your nearest pharmacy now!
