Winter-Proof Your Feet with Our Ultimate Care Guide

Winter’s here and while we’re all about cosy blankets and hot chocolate, there’s one thing that often gets left out in the cold – your feet. We’ve all been there with those shivering toes, cracked heels and rough, flaky skin. But guess what? It’s time to treat those feet like royalty and keep them warm, smooth and comfy all season long. Say goodbye to cold feet and hello to happy, pampered toes with our ultimate winter foot care routine.

1. Start with a Foot Soak

The first step to pampering your feet? A warm foot soak! Soak your feet in warm water for 15-20 minutes to relax them and give them a little extra hydration. You can add some Salt & Peppermint or Lavender Essential Oil to make it even more soothing.

Winter Tip: Keep the water warm, but not too hot. Hot water can dry out your skin.

2. Exfoliate the Rough Spots

Winter can leave your feet feeling rough, especially around the heels. Use Foot Scrub or Pumice Stone to gently exfoliate and get rid of dead skin. This helps keep things smooth and prevents calluses.

Winter Tip: Be gentle. Over-scrubbing can irritate the skin, making it more prone to cracks and dryness.

3. Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise

Dry feet are a winter problem, but the fix is simple. Use a moisturizer! Apply a generous layer of Foot Care Cream or Coconut Oil to your feet after exfoliating. Pay special attention to the heels and any dry patches. For extra hydration, put on socks right after moisturizing and leave them on overnight.

Winter Tip: Thick creams work wonders in winter, so apply generously.

4. Keep Your Feet Warm and Dry

Cold feet are no fun and neither is walking around in damp socks. Keep your feet warm by wearing cosy wool or fleece socks, and make sure to switch out of wet socks as soon as possible to avoid discomfort or fungal infections.

Winter Tip: Opt for moisture-wicking socks to keep your feet dry and comfy all day.

5. Treat Yourself to a Foot Mask

If you want to go the extra mile, try Shea Butter Foot Mask. It’s packed with moisturizing ingredients that will give your feet some deep, nourishing love. Use one on before bed, and you’ll wake up with softer, happier feet.

Winter Tip: Use a foot mask once a week for an extra boost of hydration.

6. Stay Hydrated and Eat Well

Healthy skin starts from the inside. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin, including your feet, hydrated. Also, make sure you’re eating foods full of vitamins and healthy fats, your feet will thank you for it!

Winter Tip: Warm herbal teas are perfect for staying hydrated and keeping cosy.

7. Fix Cracked Heels

Cracked heels are a common winter issue, but they’re easy to fix. Use Crack Heal Cream which will help soften tough skin. For extra TLC, slather on some Skin Protecting Jelly at night and wear socks to lock in the moisture.

Winter Tip: Don’t peel or scratch at cracked heels. This can make them worse.

8. Give Your Feet a Massage

A good foot massage isn’t just relaxing, it also boosts circulation and helps keep your feet comfortable. Use Foot Oil to massage your feet and focus on pressure points for extra relief.

Winter Tip: Do this before bed, and you’ll sleep like a baby.

9. Protect Your Feet with the Right Shoes

Winter weather can be harsh, so make sure you’re wearing shoes that keep your feet warm and dry. Waterproof boots are a must for rainy days, and remember to wear socks that keep your feet cosy.

Winter Tip: Avoid tight shoes. Comfort is key, especially in winter.

10. Take Care of Your Toenails

Toenail care is just as important as caring for the skin on your feet. Keep your toenails trimmed, clean, and filed to prevent ingrown nails or infections. Apply Cuticle Moisturising Cream to keep your cuticles hydrated and nourished.

Tip: Consider giving your nails a break from polish during the winter months to let them breathe and maintain their natural strength.

Cold feet? Not anymore! Your feet’s new best friends for winter are here. A little pampering goes a long way and with these simple steps, you can keep your feet soft, warm and ready to take on whatever winter throws your way. So, slip into those cosy socks, give your feet the love they deserve and strut into the new season with confidence.
