Is Dry Skin on the Feet Inevitable?
Dryness, itching, cracks, and peeling on the feet are particularly annoying issues that affect many people in Israel, and not without reason. The warm climate in our small country leads to us wearing open shoes, flip-flops, or sandals for most of the year, with some even going barefoot. The hot and dry weather doesn’t help maintain the natural moisture of the feet’s skin, and instead, it causes it to dry out and crack. You might expect that the arrival of fall and winter would improve the condition of your feet that dried out during the hot summer, but surprisingly, the changing weather tends to worsen the situation rather than help it. So, how can we alleviate the condition? Here are some helpful tips:
How to Deal with Peeling Feet?
Fortunately, peeling, cracked, and irritated feet are not an unavoidable fate. Today, there are many methods available to effectively treat foot skin. Many of these treatments are natural and very beneficial for foot care. However, before we dive into available solutions for dry and peeling feet, it’s important to understand the root causes of the problem so that you can choose the most effective treatment for your feet.
What Causes Dry and Cracked Skin on the Feet?
Tough skin on the heels, toes, or the pads of the feet can result from various factors, with weather changes and humidity levels being the most common culprits. The cooler seasons are characterized by dry air that causes the skin on the face, hands, and feet to lose its moisture and vitality, leading to dryness and cracking. On the other hand, walking in flip-flops, sandals, or going barefoot during the hot season doesn’t allow the feet to maintain their natural moisture. Therefore, foot care is needed throughout the year, without exception.
Another factor contributing to dry and rough skin on the feet, a phenomenon known as “calluses,” is localized pressure on certain areas of the feet that bear significant load, such as the pads of the toes. The hardened skin forms to protect these areas, which are under heavy mechanical pressure due to poor posture or the shape of the foot and the natural distribution of load across its different parts.
Beyond these causes of rough feet, dryness and peeling can also be due to additional medical conditions, which may indicate a need for a more thorough evaluation and treatment. In such cases, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
Is there a Natural Solution for Dry Skin on the Feet?
The best method for treating dry feet is to prevent it from occurring in the first place. To do this, it’s important to cleanse the feet daily, use natural foot scrubs, and dry the feet thoroughly after washing them. To complete the foot care routine, it’s recommended to apply a nourishing foot cream based on natural ingredients that will deeply hydrate the skin, making it soft, smooth, elastic, and healthier than ever.
Pedicures are also highly effective in removing dry and tough skin from the feet and improving the texture of the skin. Many pedicurists use specialized products to remove tough skin from the feet, combining this with a foot massage to improve blood circulation. However, before opting for this solution, we recommend ensuring that the professional you’re consulting is qualified, certified, and using only natural cosmetic products free of harmful chemicals that could irritate your skin and worsen the condition over time.
However, if your feet are already dealing with dry, cracked skin, it’s likely that your regular skincare routine won’t provide the ideal solution. Fortunately, there are excellent therapeutic products available that can effectively address very dry and cracked feet. A great example of a therapeutic foot cream that works wonders for dry, irritated feet is Lavido’s Therapeutic Foot Cream. This cream is based on a unique formula enriched with organic oils such as Yarrow Oil, Tea Tree Oil, and Myrrh, which nourish the skin on the feet, alleviate peeling and irritation, and leave your feet feeling soft, smooth, and pampered like never before. It is recommended to apply the cream to your feet twice a day or as needed, and after application, cover your feet with socks to allow the product to absorb optimally and deliver effective results.
