Taking Care of Your Feet in the Winter


Taking care of your feet is important during the winter season since the soles of the feet tend to get dry, cracked, and itchy. It is also vital to take care of your feet if you are diabetic because your feet are more sensitive and more prone to getting dry cracked skin. First, inspect your feet for cuts, bruises, and blisters. Then, wash your feet with lukewarm water and with Epsom salts. Consult with your doctor if it is okay to use Epsom salts on your feet especially if you are diabetic. Second, moisturize your feet with a non-scented lotion such as a hydrating lotion for Diabetics and to give relief from dry skin. 

Make sure it has no acids. It is recommended to use hypoallergenic and fragrance-free lotion. Therefore, it will not irritate the skin and makes the skin feel smooth. These lotions can be applied on dry rough areas of the feet, elbows, and on hands. In addition, it will moisturize the skin. 

Apply lotion when needed especially in the morning and at night. Avoid putting lotion between your toes to avoid a fungus infection. Third, wear socks that have extra cushions and socks that control the moisture of the feet. Sleep with socks at night to keep you warm during the colder winter months and to lessen the cracks on the bottom of your soles.
