Winter Months Can Be Hard On The Soles

Posted: January 3rd, 2020

Wintertime Foot Care

During the winter, you probably keep your feet covered as much as possible. To remain warm, you will wear heavy socks and shoes, but this can lead to problems for the soles of the feet. If you take the time to inspect your feet, then you will notice that the skin on the soles has become thicker and itchier. In addition, you may notice a foul foot odor from the lack of air circulation around your feet while you wear socks and shoes.

Visit a Day Spa

This is a great time of year to enjoy a professional spa treatment for the feet to eliminate the disgusting foot odor and the thickened skin. At a day spa, you can enjoy a professional pedicure that includes bathing the feet in a whirling tub of water. After washing your feet, you can have a paraffin wax treatment that will moisturize the soles of the feet. The pedicurist can use a callus remover device to eliminate the rough areas of thickened skin tissue.

The Removal of Dry Skin

Thorough washing of your feet with granulated scrubbing products is a great way to remove the dry, flaky and itchy skin from your ankles, feet, and toes. The layers of dry skin often contribute to the horrible foot odor that emanates from your feet. When your feet are clean and fragrant, you won't feel embarrassed about taking off your shoes and your socks.

An Application of Nail Polish

Your professional pedicure will include trimming the toenails along with applying your choice of nail polish so that your feet feel healthy and look beautiful. Remember that it is as important to care for your feet and toenails during the winter so that when spring arrives, you can begin wearing sandals right away.
