How Does a Foot Powder Work?
The foot powder absorbs the perspiration of the feet and controls the foot odor. Cornstarch is the ingredient used in the foot powder to absorb the sweat. The foot powder contains fragrances and other agents which can neutralize the odor. In addition to this, they contain anti-bacterial agents. As foot odor is caused due to the action of bacteria on the sweat, anti-bacterial agents eliminate the bacteria and reduce the foot odor. How to Apply Foot Powder? A foot powder can be applied to the feet or sprinkled in the shoes or socks. After having bath, dry your feet completely. Now sprinkle the powder liberally on the soles of the feet and between the toes. You can sprinkle the foot powder in the socks and shake them gently to remove the excess powder. Now you can wear the socks. You can also sprinkle the powder in your shoes. If you have sweaty feet and suffer from foot odor, get yourself a foot powder. Applying it on your feet, in your socks/shoes can help you to be free from foot odor.
