8 bathroom habits that ruin your feeling of freshness (and how to fix them)

Feet spend hours in socks and closed shoes, trapping sweat, dead cells, and microbes. This leads to odor, itching, and thick patches of skin.

How to care for your feet

  • Wash them daily with warm water and mild soap, including between toes.
  • Dry thoroughly, especially between the toes.
  • Exfoliate weekly with a pumice stone or soft file.
  • Use antifungal powder if you wear closed shoes often.
  • Change socks daily and choose breathable materials.
