- Strengthen your feet and toes by consciously straightening your toes, then wiggling them around.
- Increase foot flexibility by standing facing a wall about two feet away. Place one foot against the wall, 3-4 inches from the floor, keeping your heel on the floor.
- Gently move your knee towards the wall until you feel slight stretching. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat five times, and then do the same with the other foot.
- Stretch your heels by standing with your back to a wall with your feet shoulder width apart. Take a step forward and bend the front leg, keeping the back leg straight.
- Walk in sand whenever you have the opportunity, which both keeps feet smooth and gives them a thorough workout.
- Get rid of corns with Carnation Corn Caps.
- To improve circulation, line a basin with marbles and fill with cold water. Immerse your feet and move them over the marbles. Then give your feet a good rub and put on some warm socks.
- File away unsightly hard skin for silky smooth feet.
- For strong ankles do 20 ankle rotations per foot per day – ten in each direction. Make sure you keep your leg as still as possible, and rotate the foot from the ankle joint.
- Prevent and treat blisters with Carnation Hydrocolloid Blister Care Dressings.
- Whilst sitting, roll your feet backwards and forward over a tennis ball or a plastic bottle (filling it with sand helps). Concentrate on rolling on the arch of your feet.
