Feet need pampering, too

CARING FOR aching feet needn't
be expensive. Everything you need
to get your tired tootsies feeling
fresh again can be found around
the house.

Common cornstarch, for in-
stance, is just as effective a foot
powder as the costly ones made
especially for the purpose.

To soften callused skin, try a
footbath of weak camomile tea.

If calluses are too bulky to
smooth away with pumice, apply
a paste of crushed aspirin and a
small amount of water and lemon
juice. Wrap your foot in plastic,
cover with a warm towel, and
unwrap after about 10 minutes.

Then use the pumice to rub

away dead skin. Remember that
aspirin is an acid, so take care to
avoid the normal skin surrounding
the cailus.

Relax your feet ir a homemade
soak. Add any combination of
these household products to luke-
warm water: borax to cleanse and
soften; witch hazel to help relieve
swelling; pure peppermint tea to
seothe; ordinary black tea as an
antiperspirant.

Add a few drops of iodine of
Betadine to the soak to keep your
feet free of infection, especially if
you have an ingrown toenail.

lf you must be on your feet
when your arches are beginning to
feel tender, create arch supporis
