Podiatrist Jack Morgan of Monterey Park, California, deals with patients whose self-confidence has been affected by unattractive feet. He says, "Exposing feet in open-toed shoes or sandals results in more emotional, psychological fear regarding the appearance of toenails. Whether young or old, even with a pedicure, yellow or discolored toenails and rough, cracked heels are not socially or emotionally acceptable."

C. J. Buck, MIA of Xenna Corporation (www.xenna.com ), a distributor of natural foot, skin and hair products, says, "Most women and a surprising number of men are concerned about whether or not their feet look attractive, and are especially self-conscious at the beach or pool if they're not."

Buck adds, "When I go to the Jersey Shore, I can't help but notice people's feet, because - well - that's the business I'm in. You'd be surprised at how many people I see wearing hot, sweaty sneakers on the sand and boardwalk. If they're not joggers, I often suspect it's because they're embarrassed about the way their feet and toenails look."

Xenna distributes NonyX® Nail Gel and CalleX® Ointment, which were developed and patented using formulations that focus on the exfoliation of excess keratin - the protein contained in skin and nails. The result is innovative, natural foot care products that address the cosmetic appearance of unattractive heels and toenails.

Calluses, which are usually associated with dry, cracked heels, develop when there is excessive pressure on a particular area of the foot. Recommended by Dr. Morgan and other podiatrists around the country, Xenna's diabetic-friendly CalleX® Callus Ointment with natural exfoliating enzymes combats the problem of calluses and cracked, dry heels.

CalleX has been shown in consumer studies to significantly reduce callus, dry, flaking skin and cracking on soles and heels within 15 to 30 days. Acid-free and safe for diabetic use, CalleX moisturizes dry, rough or flaky skin, and exfoliates and thins callused areas, while leaving normal skin unaffected.

Another problem that diminishes self-confidence in the summer is yellow, discolored or unsightly toenails. Xenna's patented, diabetic-friendly NonyX® Nail Gel, takes a unique, natural approach to the problem.

NonyX is a topical, easy-to-use gel that breaks down and removes keratin debris - the discolored, yellow or thick granular buildup under nails that causes them to become discolored and unattractive.

NonyX Gel softens keratin debris using natural ethanoic acid, which permits it to be scraped out with a manicure tool, beginning after about four weeks. Once the white or yellow keratin debris is removed, nails look clear and regular use of the gel keeps them keratin debris free and attractive.

"Attractive feet are an important part of feeling youthful," concludes Buck. "There's nothing like baring your feet in soft sand or sandals knowing they look terrific!"
