5 PRODUCTS FOR WINTER FOOT CARE WINTER FOOT CARE TIPS

5 Winter Foot Care Products For You!

We love the crispness in the air, the smells of hot, smoky food, and the fashion in winter! However, all good things come with some side effects. The problems of winter are, likewise, many. The worst of it is the toll that it takes on our skin. While we are acutely conscious of our face all the time, we often have a delayed response to the rest of our body that suffers the same, if not more. The cracked feet, flaky hands, and feet, and white calloused elbows take a while to show; but once it appears, it takes a long time to reverse. Thus, most of us end up spending more time, effort, and money on the reversal of conditions rather than preventing the occurrence. The prevention is far easier than imagined and you forsake the pain usually associated with extreme conditions like cracked skin. We have a list of products that we recommend for use so as to make your winter all pleasure and no pain.

1. KAYA DEEP NOURISH ELBOW & FOOT CREAM

It’s a no-brainer that dry skin requires moisturizing. And for dry feet and hands, we should be looking for a very good moisturizer. But did you also consider that a good built-in exfoliant will help take care of the flakiness of dead skin already and recurrently present? If not exfoliated properly, the moisturizer stays on the surface of dead skin, softening it and soothing the appearance but not doing much for the skin underneath. This winter foot care product comes with a lot of good moisturizing agents like Shea Butter and Coconut oil. It also contains a small percentage of glycolic acid that is a very good exfoliant for thicker skin. It is easier to use as compared to physical scrubs, too. It also contains hydroxyethyl urea (a urea derivative) which is an excellent moisturizer and humectant, which means it helps the skin to cling onto moisture for a long time.

2. BIOTIQUE FOOT CREAM BIO COSTUS

This is another wonderful product for foot care in winter from the Biotique stable.Feet treatment in winter should consider issues like pain in the feet due to poor blood circulation and cold conditions. The result of keeping feet packed up for a long time is also itching and infections.This cream from Biotique has a host of natural ingredients that are anti-septic and anti-inflammatory in nature and a great winter foot care product. Very underrated benefits but extremely important for cracked skin. It also has the properties to improve blood circulation with regular use.

3. DR. BATRA FOOT CREAM KOKUM BUTTER 

A general-purpose foot moisturizer for feet that do not suffer from any complications other than dry and cracked feet, this is a true blessing. Kokum butter is a known powerful moisturizer and a great winter foot care product. It had the additional advantage of being non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores. Kokum butter has been used for dry skin treatments in traditional Indian medicine/recipes. Some modern research is causing it to make a comeback as one of the most balanced and nutrient-dense natural butter. Rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, with anti-inflammatory properties, it makes a perfect ingredient for winter skincare.

5. SCHOLL ELECTRONIC/HARD FOOT FILE 

To execute a good pedicure at home, the most important element is a good foot scraper, to file away the hard dead skin cells. Point to mention, never use hard files on dry feet, especially during winter. Always soak in warm water to soften the skin before scraping. This will avoid any unnecessary injuries and over-exfoliation. Scholl’s range of top-end pedicure tools is best-in-class. The hard file is for thickened skin caused by a build-up of dead skin cells that become painful and start to crack over time. It is a mechanical solution for hard skin that is yet unbroken and not irritated. People with diabetes or poor blood circulation should seek a doctor’s advice before using such tools as injuries may cause other complications. The Scholl Electronic foot file is an alternative tool that requires less manual effort as it is battery -powered and takes less time.
