Winter can wreak havoc on our feet, leaving them dry and cracked despite spending most time indoors. Factors like cold air, indoor heating, aging, and poorly fitting shoes contribute significantly. Dr. Claire Wolinsky highlights the tribulations feet endure daily, emphasizing that high heels aren’t the only culprits. Dr. Paul Greenberg recommends keeping feet warm and hydrated; a practical tip includes wearing a plastic bag over moisturized feet before bed. Both experts agree: proper foot care, especially at nighttime, is essential for combating foot dryness and damage during winter months.
It shouldn't make sense. It's winter. We're indoors most of the time. Our big treks are from the kitchen to the couch. And yet, our feet. Our poor, poor souls/soles (sorry, had to). They look like they've just run a marathon... barefoot... in the snow. How?
We traumatize our feet every day just by walking around. Everyone thinks it's just high heels, but flats or shoes that are too tight can do just as much, if not more, damage.
Keeping your feet warm and regularly hydrated is your best bet for giving them life again. It's rare that I have a patient who doesn't have this problem.
One of the best times to put on any topical is at night because it stays put. When you're walking around all day, the topical won’t have time to work.
