Foot care in winter

It is easier to get your feet in sandal condition when you start caring for them already in the winter.

It is not to be forgotten to take care of your feet, even if your toes are not visible in winter. If you leave your fat on and off your feet only for the warmer months, getting them ready for summer will be much more challenging. Regular foot care, regardless of the season, helps here.

– Dry indoor air combined with frost weather dehydrate the skin in winter. This also applies to the feet. When they are still pounded into thicker socks and tight boots, everyone’s feet are much more tested, especially in winter, open Katja Juurinen Scholl Chiropodist and Chiropodist.

The easiest and most important treatment for winter feet in boots and socks on a monthly basis is foot cream. It should be spread, for example, every night before going to bed.

– Moisturization is the a and o of everything. In winter, it is definitely a good idea to switch to a fuller foot cream. This does not necessarily mean a thicker foot cream, as in base creams, but specifically a more caring version. You avoid challenges when you take care of your feet all year round, says Juurinen.

To better absorb the creams, the feet can be prepared in advance. This is aided by a home bath and scrubbing to remove dead skin cells from the surface. Intensive treatment once a week, for example in the form of a sock-like foot mask, is a particularly good way to pamper dry clogs.

– If the skin becomes very thick or hardens, it is a handy tool. But as a better, regular alternative, I recommend a foot exfoliator, because at the same time it treats the skin, and not just removes dead skin cells, Juurinen opens.

It is a good idea to take care of your feet in the pedicure even in winter, because this way potential problem areas are noticed by professionals and can be treated. This will prevent potential health problems such as inflammation of the feet. Even after the treatment performed by a professional pediatrician, home care of the feet becomes easier even in winter.

– One of the possible problems with winter feet is the cracks in the heels, which are best treated for home care with precision products, ie crack creams containing corrective urea. Another common problem this season is related to the toe gaps that squeeze inside the layers of socks and thick shoes, exposing foot problems, Juurinen explains.

– If your feet are prone to sweating, talcum powder between your toes will help. Another old and traditional trick is to spread sheep wool purchased from a pharmacy between your toes under a layer of stockings. It warms and at the same time ventilates the sweaty toes, removing moisture and separating them, Juurinen suggests.
