Your feet work hard to keep you going. And during hot summer days, they can really take a beating. It’s especially important for seniors to take care of their feet. We’ve put together some tips for keeping all ten toes cool and clean during the hot summer months.

Cut away the excess

It all starts by getting rid of what you don’t need. That means trimming your toenails and clearing away dry, excess skin. It can be quite a pain (literally!) to clip brittle toenails. But the ergonomic Evolution Toenail Clippers can make it much easier. They offer a design that gives you a better grip and stronger cutting power. If you have thick, very curved, or brittle toenails, you’ll enjoy a clean cut of the Japanese stainless steel blades and the wide jaw opening.

As we age, our feet tend to get dry and even callused. The ADL280P Helping Hand Foot Scrub Brush with Pumice helps you get rid of dry, callused skin–gently. It features a soft bristle brush and pumice stone that allows you to smooth your foot up and down, side to side, or in gentle circles. People who have difficulty bending to reach their feet will find the long handle ideal for making bathing and foot care easier.

Clean and caress

The next step in keeping those feet cool and cared for in the summer is cleaning and stimulating them. The Helping Hand Comfi-Grip Foot Scrub Sponge is a long-handle foot care product that will do just that. The unique sponge is designed for cleaning between the toes and the shape allows users to clean, massage, and stimulate their feet — all without bending over! That’s because the Helping Hand Comfi-Grip Foot Scrub Sponge has a long handle that can be heated and bent to the desired angle for easily reaching the feet and legs. The "Comfi-Grip" handle provides a secure hold, even when hands are wet.

Wash the top and soles of your feet in the shower or bath using the contoured base of the foot sponge. Then using the tapered toe sponge, easily wash in between your toes without having to bend or stretch forward. People who have difficulty washing between their toes will find this personal hygiene product makes it easy to scrub without bending down or losing their balance.
