Why Winter Destroys Your Foot Health
During winter, low humidity and cold temperatures strip your skin of natural oils. Your feet, constantly enclosed in socks and shoes, become particularly vulnerable.
The lack of moisture leads to:
- Rapid skin dehydration
- Increased dead skin cell buildup
- Reduced natural skin elasticity
- Higher risk of painful heel cracks and fissures
Essential Winter Foot Care Routine
Protecting your feet requires a strategic approach:
- Exfoliate gently 2-3 times a week to remove dead skin
- Use warm (not hot) water for washing feet
- Apply thick, oil-based moisturizers immediately after bathing
- Wear breathable, moisture-wicking socks
- Use overnight heel repair socks for intensive treatment
