Care for your tired feet @ AkeruCaring for our feet is very important, especially as we get older, as they are our means of transport and independence. Over time our feet wear out, just like tyres on a car and the skin thins and slackens. Neglected feet are often the main cause of falls and can also lead to impaired mobility. Often this problem is exacerbated as routine footcare becomes more difficult due to age related problems such as lack of flexibility and diminishing eyesight.

Over time, the skin's ability to produce sweat, oil, and other fatty substances diminishes. As a result, the water content of skin is reduced and the skin becomes dry. Skin on the soles of the feet may become thick and hard, especially around the edges of the heels.
