In earlier times, people used to wash their feet before going to bed. But nowadays, all we care about is our skincare regime. However, washing our feet is as important as our daily skincare routine. 

Washing our feet is as important as our daily skincare routine. Washing our feet before going to bed is an essential step to maintain hygiene. Our feet carry dust and germs which get transferred to our bed resulting in infection in other body parts. Thus, experts recommend washing your feet twice a day to keep infections at bay.

Why washing your feet is important at night? 

Hygiene: Washing your feet at night helps remove dirt, sweat, and bacteria accumulated throughout the day, preventing odour and infections.

Skin Health: Regularly washing your feet before bed can help prevent skin conditions such as athlete's foot and fungal infections.

Relaxation: A warm foot bath before bed can help relax tired muscles and promote better sleep, enhancing overall relaxation.

Improved Circulation: Massaging your feet while washing them can improve blood circulation, reducing swelling and discomfort.

Prevention of Bed Contamination: Washing your feet before bed prevents transferring dirt and germs from your feet to your bed sheets, promoting a cleaner sleeping environment.
