<p>Warm weather means summer sandals and going barefoot, but if you’re like most people, your feet could use some tender loving care before making a public appearance. Taking good care of your feet is important not only for vanity’s sake, but also for good health: Regular foot and nail care can prevent painful heel cracks, calluses and ingrown toenails.</p>
<p>Plan a relaxing and rejuvenating pedicure once a week (or every other week). You can keep feet soft and smooth in between pedicures by running a pumice stone or foot file over your heels and smoothing on a rich moisturizing cream at night after washing your feet.</p>
<h3>Sweet-Smelling Feet</h3>
<p>The pleasant fragrances of many essential oils, such as cypress, lavender and patchouli, not only freshen the feet but provide potent antimicrobial properties that eliminate odor-causing bacteria. To prevent foot odor, spray your feet daily with an aromatherapy foot spray, and dust your feet with an aromatherapy foot powder before putting on closed shoes.</p>
