Have you ever wondered why you have a crack on the heel? Or do you just want to have a baby foot? This entry is proven 100% to reduce the risk of dry and cracked heels (well at least for myself).

Foot soak
Once a week or maybe twice weekly. A mixture of Epsom salt and warm water foot soaking can boost your mood besides some studies have shown Epsom salt soaking can improve blood circulation to your foot. I would advance this step to scrubbing or exfoliate as soaking can soften the dead skin cell.
Scrub
Physical exfoliator or scrub can remove all the dead skin cells as our feet always have dead skin cell build-up going through (due to friction). We walk every day, our feet dealing with friction which may cause the build-up of dead skin cells. You may choose either a tool such foot scrubber or soap that contains small beads-- make sure follow-up with a moisturizer.
Nail
Keep it short. Keep your nail short. You don't need all those fancy pedicures, u just need a great nail clipper. Long nails tend to collect specks of dirt and bacteria more than short nails do. Trimming toenails can be tricky. You don't want to keep it too short or square as it may cause pain.
Moisturizer + Socks
Moisturize your feet before your sleep time and always comprises with socks. Choose moisturizers that are very thick or you can switch it to an ointment which is better (you may use a moisturizer that contains urea or as simple as vaseline). But bear in mind, thick moisturizer or ointment can be really messy if you don't include socks in your routine besides of retain the moisture to your feet.
Blister/warts management
You need to do some research regarding blister management especially for those who wear heels. The blister can turn into warts. Always make sure you have dry feet before you wear socks. Hygiene is very important to prevent infection (which may cause warts). Treat blister or wound on feet fast. Let your feet breathe.

Things can get overwhelmed especially for ladies when drugstores on their sales. So I will share what I usually buy during drugstore sales or what I have been eyeing. This entry is just to give you a better picture of what to look for at drugstore Malaysia.
Typically I will buy something that isn't sold in the other store and I will sort accordingly from head to toe.
For the tips to shop at Drugstore Malaysia:
- Hold yourself
Make a list and stick to it. Limit yourself to buy only 1 product for 1 purpose. - Price comparison
Popular drugstore in Malaysia is Guardian, Watson, Caring, Big Pharmacy, AA pharmacy. There's a lot of choices, so please do some price comparison before you decide to buy. - Understand the marketing strategy
Please understand buy 2nd for 60% is equivalent to only 30% less for each product so it is just a marketing strategy and not really worth buying. Wait for buy 1 free 1 promo or 50% off which can save you more. - Understand the sales trending
From my POV, Guardian and Watson usually will have specific trends in sales. For example, this week skincare will have a 50% promo, that week I will buy or restock my skincare product only and I will wait for hair promo week to buy my hair product.
So after you already understand the tips and tricks, maybe you may want to try the product that I usually buy.
