2. Keep your nails short
During monsoon, keep your nail short. This will prevent any dust from getting collected under nails.
3. Cleansing foot soak
Once a week, soak your feet in hot water with a pinch of salt and shampoo for 10-15 minutes.
This will keep all the bacteria and make your skin soft.
4. Pick the right footwear
Ditch your heels and sneakers. Choose flip-flops and sandals as the water gets easily washed from them and make your feet dry.

Yes, I know there may be excess of moisture during the monsoon but still, your feet need moisture.
Always ensure to keep your feet moisturised by nourishing foot cream.
