  1. Rinse Immediately: Use beach showers to remove salt and sand. Salt draws out moisture; don’t let it dry on your skin.
  2. Dry Between Toes: Fungus loves moisture. Use a dedicated towel (not your face towel) to dry each toe crack.
  3. Apply Antifungal Powder: Especially if you wear boots or sneakers after the beach. Tinactin or simple cornstarch works.
  4. Moisturize with Urea Cream: Look for 10-20% urea. It breaks down thick callus without shaving. Apply to heels and balls of feet before bed.
