Bare Feet and Sandals Make Summer Carefree - But Unattractive Feet Ruin the Fun

(PRWEB) May 13, 2009 -- Even if you look fantastic in the latest swimwear, it's hard to hide ugly feet. For those who are too embarrassed by unattractive toenails or dry, cracked heels to go barefoot or wear sandals, going to the pool or beach can be just another ordeal. In fact, many people with unattractive feet simply avoid any situation that requires them to expose their feet in public.

Carol J. Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation (www.xenna.com), a distributor of natural foot care products, says, "The solution to less-than-perfect feet is to start caring for them now, well before the 4th of July when the heat sets in nationwide and sandals and swimming at your favorite pool or beach becomes a regular part of summer socializing."

For more attractive feet podiatrists recommend a regular foot care regimen that includes the following.

• Wash feet daily and dry thoroughly, especially between toes and remove dirt from underneath toenails

• Keep your toenails neatly trimmed flat to slightly rounded corners

• Don't neglect your feet when applying sunscreen; sunburned feet can be very painful and make it difficult to wear shoes or sandals

• Use foot powder. In hot weather, feet sweat more, causing them to slide around in shoes or sandals

• Moisturize. Chlorine pools tend to dry skin, which includes skin on feet

Experts agree that even good hygiene may not prevent toenails from becoming unattractive. Sold in pharmacies and the foot care section of national chains, Xenna's NonyX® Nail Gel (pronounced "Non-X") is a topical, easy-to-use, gel that breaks down and removes keratin debris -- the discolored, yellow or thick, granular buildup under nails, causing them to become unattractive. Used by podiatrists since 2001, NonyX Gel softens keratin debris, allowing it to be gradually scraped out from under the nail, beginning after about four weeks.

Applied twice daily, use of NonyX Nail Gel results in improved nail color and clarity with 5 to 9 months as keratin debris is softened and exfoliated from under the nail. Once keratin debris is removed, NonyX Gel keeps nails clear and healthy-looking with regular use. NonyX Nail Gel is diabetic-friendly and offers a $4 mail-in rebate on NonyX Gel at http://www.xenna.com/xenna_coupons.html)

For others, the "Achilles heel" causing their feet to be unattractive actually IS the heel. As we age, heels and skin on feet retain less moisture. Xenna's CalleX® Ointment is a moisturizing exfoliant which offers a unique, fast-acting way to get feet in shape for summer.

Diabetic-friendly CalleX® Ointment softens and exfoliates dry, cracked feet with natural, fast-acting enzymes. This unique, patented ointment is applied twice daily to dry or hardened areas of the foot and eliminates the need to use an abrasive device. After applying CalleX Ointment, a gentle rubbing action with a wet washcloth is sufficient to gradually exfoliate hardened, scaly skin while it moisturizes dry or cracked areas. CalleX doesn't require scraping, and leaves heels and soles supple and smooth in two to four weeks. (A $3 rebate coupon on CalleX Ointment is also available at http://www.xenna.com/xenna_coupons.html)

CalleX Ointment is free of acids, including urea and salicylic acid, parabens, lanolin and colorants. To ward off unpleasant foot odors, CalleX contains a small amount of natural peppermint oil.

Buck says, "Our goal is to solve the problem of unattractive feet and toenails with effective, easy-to-use products found in the Foot Care section of pharmacies, mass retailers and even grocery stores. No one should ever feel embarrassed by exposing their bare feet."
