Happy Wednesday! Get ready for the soggy days ahead...🌧☔️
Here are some rainy day foot care tips:
~If you want to jump in some puddles, make sure you wear moisture wicking socks to help your skin dry quickly.
~Sprinkle a foot powder inside shoes or socks when wet feet are inevitable, this will help absorb the moisture...and the smells🤢👣
