Valentine's Day Tip: Rough, Ugly Feet Turn Cupid Off

Valentine's Day Tip: Rough, Ugly Feet Turn Cupid Off

It's difficult for most of us to feel romantic when we see yellow, discolored toenails or feel the scratch of rough, cracked heels. Without a doubt, when a person's feet are unattractive to the opposite sex, it can dramatically affect their self-confidence.

Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) January 25, 2005

When celebrating Valentine's Day, flowers, chocolates and candlelight usually come to mind - not the appearance of your feet. However, it's difficult for most of us to feel romantic when we see yellow, discolored toenails or feel the scratch of rough, cracked heels.

According to Dr. Jack Morgan, a leading California podiatrist and podiatric surgeon, "Whether young or old, my patients care very much about the appearance of their feet. When a person's feet are unattractive to the opposite sex, it can dramatically affect their self-confidence." Psychiatrists agree that the person who doesn't feel lovable or good enough, or who is lacking in self-confidence doesn't project sex appeal.

According to Dr. Morgan, some individuals are so embarrassed by the appearance of discolored toenails they hide the problem by always keeping their feet concealed with shoes and socks, making the problem worse. He adds, "I've had patients who even slept with their socks on. Sometimes a spouse will be asked to sleep with socks on, to prevent the scratching that can come from unattractive, thick toenails."

Carol J. Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation, is well aware of the impact unattractive feet can have on a person's self-esteem. Xenna distributes NonyX® Nail Gel (pronounced "Non-X") for yellow, discolored nails and CalleX® Dry Heel Ointment for rough, dry feet and cracked heels.

Ms. Buck says the comments she's gotten from users of Xenna products emphasize how important foot appearance is to many individuals. Some of the comments have included: "Thank you so much for giving me back my ability to wear sandals and to feel good about my appearance." "I love this product - you have changed my life!" "I've gone all summer with open-toed sandals after 30 years of never doing that."

NonyX Nail Gel rids nails of their yellow or dark discoloration by exfoliating the source of the problem - keratin debris buildup under the nail. Dark, yellow or thick keratin debris can build up under nails over time, causing them to lose their clear, healthy-looking appearance. Patented NonyX Gel softens, breaks down and then clears out this unattractive keratin debris using natural ethanoic acid.

Newly patented CalleX Dry Heel Ointment is acid-free and diabetic-friendly. CalleX contains natural enzymes that exfoliate thickened areas and rough, flaky skin, while leaving normal skin completely unaffected.

Both NonyX Nail Gel and CalleX Ointment are used by podiatrists around the country, including Dr. Morgan, who says, "Among the many products for dry feet, only one contains natural enzymes, which have proven to be remarkably effective for softening and thinning thickened areas, exfoliating dry cracked heels and moisturizing dry, scaling skin."

According to Ms. Buck, "Valentine's Day is the perfect time to take stock of how the appearance of our feet may be affecting our self-confidence, and make a commitment to doing something about it."

NonyX Nail Gel is money-back guaranteed, and can be purchased in the FOOT CARE section of Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-Mart, Meijer, TARGET, Snyders, Longs, Duane Reade, ShopKo, Kerr Drug, Giant Eagle, HEB, Bruno's, Hannaford, many other grocery stores and most Medicine Shoppe pharmacies.
