I wash my feet every day but they still stink, why is this?

Some friends have developed the habit of washing their feet every day, but they still have smelly feet. This situation indicates that the amount of sebum in the feet is relatively high and cannot be discharged in time, which is likely to cause foot odor.

The "culprit" of foot odor is actually acidic substances!

Earlier media reports showed that American scientists found through research that the reason why people have foot odor is mainly related to the amount of sweat. Our feet have an average of about 620 sweat glands per square centimeter. When there is a lot of activity or the weather is hot, sweat will be secreted. The sweat accumulates and cannot be discharged in time, so it naturally becomes a smell! On the other hand, there are a large number of bacteria on the surface of human skin. When mixed with foot sweat, it will produce an acidic substance, which is also the root cause of foot odor.

In this regard, scientists have given advice: first wipe off the dead skin on your feet, and then use deodorant to eliminate foot odor.

In addition, there are many lifestyle factors that cause foot odor. For example, eating too spicy food will stimulate people's perspiration, increase foot sweating, and cause foot odor. Therefore, adjusting eating habits is also one of the ways to relieve foot odor.

Not loving cleanliness is also the main cause of foot odor!

Why do most people with smelly feet are men? On the one hand, it is because they exercise a lot and sweat more easily. On the other hand, most men don't like cleanliness. In this regard, Xiaojiu specifically asked the male friends around him. Most of them only brush their hair a few times a year, and some don’t even brush it. They just wipe it with paper when the outside is dirty. But the bacteria are all inside the shoes. If they are not washed or exposed to the sun, can they disappear automatically? If you wear such shoes frequently, even if you change to new socks, they will soon become smelly.

Therefore, shoes and socks should be changed, washed and dried frequently. Also, when choosing socks, you should pay attention to the fact that polyester fibers are more likely to produce odors than cotton fabrics, so it is best to wear cotton socks with better breathability.

Tips for getting rid of foot odor:

① Add rice vinegar to hot water

② Add salt to the foot washing water

③ Soak your feet in boiled tea water

④Put grapefruit peels in your shoes
