I like to think that I do. I don’t do anything special to maintain my feet or legs, so I’m not sure what advice to give you.
I don’t think bruises, scrapes, mosquito bites are that big a deal. I get them now and then and just ignore it.
As for going barefoot, I don’t really do that unless I’m at the beach. I once heard that a walk on the beach is a natural pedicure, and I agree. The idea of going to a salon to get one gives me the heebies. I’ve heard so many horror stories of people getting bacterial infections, and frankly the acetone small radiating from the salon space usually drives me away. I don’t often polish my nails. They are healthy and I think they look fine as they are. I’m not against it though, and I think polished nails can also look nice. It just depends on preference I guess. People always say polished toe nails are a must for summer, but I don’t really agree. When I want a change, I’ve been using Honeybee Gardens nail polish. It’s the most ‘natural’ polish I could find. Doesn’t have acetone or any smell at all. Pretty much impossible to remove though since it is water based – it basically lasts so long you get tired of the color. I need to get their remover.
You could try the Vibram 5 finger toe shoes, which I’ve heard feels like you’re barefoot while giving you the support and padding of a shoe. I wear slippers all the time and have slowly been transitioning to wearing shoes more often because slippers seem to have made my feet get a little wider over time. Sometimes my feet feel dry and I’ll apply some lotion at night before bed.
Good skin I think is partly genetic, partly diet and exercise, partly environment, and good hydration. Oh, and the conscientious application of sunscreen. I feel like eating a balanced diet, drinking lots of water, and getting good exercise does a lot for skin, hair, and nails.
