This trick will help reduce and prevent unpleasant foot odor.

Brilio.net - Wearing heels is often a favorite choice for many people for formal events or as a style addition. However, these shoes can cause foot odor for several reasons related to the design and conditions of use.

Heels are often made from synthetic materials that are less breathable than natural materials such as leather or canvas. When feet are trapped in shoes that do not have adequate ventilation, moisture from sweat tends to become trapped, creating a damp environment that is ideal for the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi.

The design of heels which are often narrow at the toe also contributes to this problem. Squeezing your toes in a cramped position not only makes your feet feel uncomfortable, but also increases sweat production and makes it difficult for air to circulate.

If you are one of the people who experiences this condition, there is no need to worry, because you can prevent smelly feet when wearing heels with 1 skincare product. As shared by one TikTok user with the account name @patriciangelss. The skincare product in question is body lotion. Make sure to choose a body lotion that has a light texture, is not sticky, and is easy to absorb.

"Solution for sweaty smelly feet," wrote the account owner in the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net quoted from the TikTok account @patriciangelss, Monday (5/8).

Apart from using body lotion , the TikTok account owner also uses pantyliner to absorb sweat in the leg area. The method is quite easy, you only need to attach the pantyliner to the heel area of the shoe. After that, apply body lotion or similar to the foot area thoroughly.

Make sure to apply body lotion between your fingers. Then, wait until the body lotion is absorbed and you can immediately wear your favorite heels. This trick will help reduce and prevent unpleasant foot odor.

Pantyliners are designed to absorb moisture and odors, so that when placed inside shoes, the product functions to absorb sweat produced by the feet. By absorbing this moisture, pantyliners prevent sweat from building up inside the shoe, which can create a damp environment where odor-causing bacteria can grow.

Using body lotion can moisturize the skin of the feet, thereby preventing dryness and irritation. Dry skin tends to crack and become irritated, creating areas where bacteria and fungus can grow, potentially causing an unpleasant odor. By maintaining skin moisture, body lotion helps create conditions that are less than ideal for the growth of these microorganisms.

Some lotions also have fragrances that can mask or reduce unwanted odors. However, it is important to ensure that the lotion used is not too oily or heavy, as excess oil can also cause sweat buildup and odor.
