Now, as a avid gamer (and first gen Pokemon Fan), I have been reading a lot on injuries gamers got when they are playing Pokemon GO, especially their feet, some got it so bad they had to go to the ER. (I can’t help it, it is all over the web, especially twitter)…
So to prevent all of us from suffering the same fate…
Here’s 3 Tips For You Before You Go For Your Pokemon GO Adventure
1. Make Sure You Are Wearing Appropriate Shoes:
Sneakers or Sports Shoes are the best choice. Since you will be doing a lot of walking, you need something that will not rub or “bite” you.
While I know our slippers are part of our national attire, they are not good for long distance walking because they are VERY likely to cause you feet pain and sprained ankle if you trip.
You won’t want to be sidelined sitting on your bed recovering when everyone else is playing Pokemon GO, right?
2. Start Scrubbing Away Dead Skin & Unclog The Pores On Your Feet
Dead Skin and Clogged pores can cause your feet to stink. Bacteria in your shoes feeds on them and produces the odor. Imagine taking off your shoes after a long day of Pokemon GO and that…smell comes out.
Scrubbing your feet is also good for you because it can remove hardskin (calluses), They tends to form after constant walking and will cause quite a bit of pain in the future.
3. Moisturize, Moisturize And More Moisturize
Aside from moisturizing your body, this is mainly to make sure your feet are not too dry and flaky due to the local weather, dry and flaky feet can easily cause cut and blisters on your feet.
Plasters helps to cover the blister wounds caused, but can you imagine taping 5 or 6 plasters on your feet….while your friends laugh at you? Quite Paiseh right…
While I can’t fix the elusiveness of Pokémon, but as a feetcare expert, I can give you a simple solution to prevent these problems…
Blisters, Cracked Heels, Cuts and Callus, are usually caused by feet that are dry because they were never taken care of
Contrary to the normal belief that Feet care is troublesome…
The simple truth is that you would only need to follow 3 steps a day: Exfoliate, Moisturize, Revive
Which is why I would recommend our Carnation Foot Scrub, Foot Cream and Cracked Heel Cream
What Feet Problem can these products solve or prevent?
- Itchiness
- Redness
- Skin Cracks
- Cracked Heels (that will cause you pain while you walk or even just standing)
- Rough skin
- Flaky skin
- Peeling skin
- Foot Odor caused by excess amount of dead skin cells on the feet interacting with sweat
- Cuts and Blisters (Which are usually easier to get when the skin of the feet is too dry)
How Solving or Preventing These Feet Problems Can Help You Catch Pokemons
Blisters and cuts are what happens when you walk around more than you’re used to.
So they are a good thing, you are walking about and getting some health benefits – but they also HURT LIKE HELL, it also usually takes a week or two to heal on its own, which means 1 week of little to no Pokemon GO.
By taking this 3 simple steps for your feet, you can literally spend all day and night catching them all.
We don’t want to just help you travel to work and play without pain, we want to take you from Charmander to Charizard and conquer that gym in comfort, and defeat that trainer in style.
Isn’t Feetcare Just For Ladies? Do Men Really Need To Use These?
While Men’s feet are pretty low-maintenance compared to ladies or if you are not planning to play THAT MUCH Pokemon GO, they can still benefit from basic foot care.
After all, nobody likes funky feet. Rough flaky skin and bad odor are big turn-offs – ask anyone.
Think about it, If you use basic facial wash and exfoliate your face as a daily routine, why shouldn’t your feet have the same basic care and protection when they are one of the most hardworking body part?
