Hi lovelies,
Your feet are important - they help you get to where you need to go! But it’s very easy to neglect them in winter when they’re not always on show.
Left to their own devices, your feet can end up dry, cracked and sore, and your pedicure can end up looking a bit less than fresh.
Your feet aren’t for life, not just for the summertime, so make sure you treat your feet this winter with the following tips.

Keep them soft
The cold, wet weather and dry conditions in your home due to heating sources can cause all kinds of problems for your feet. They can start to feel dry and cracks can appear easily. Fortunately, there are plenty of products out there designed to keep your feet soft. With lotions and hydrating socks, it’ll be much easier than you think to help your feet soft. Remember to remove dead skin from your feet too, it will help to keep your feet in good condition.
Cover them up
While you’re more likely to put your feet on display during the summer months, in the winter, when it’s colder, you should focus on covering them up instead! Exposing your feet to the elements can leave them vulnerable, so be sure to cover them up when you go out. Wearing socks and slippers at home will help keep your feet toasty and warm, while stopping them from drying out too! Why not treat yourself to some new cozy footwear items to give your feet a gift this winter?
Give them the full pamper treatment
Taking time to pamper your feet is great for them, but it’s an ideal way to de-stress too! There are a lot of things you can do to pamper your feet, including foot rubs and reflexology treatments. Why not invest in a foot spa to help soothe tired feet and help you relax? You can even get foot spas for large foot individuals that can make things a bit more comfortable. With some soothing soaks added to the mix, your feet will thank you!
Keep on top of your pedicure
It’s easy to neglect your toes over the winter. Suddenly those pedicures don’t seem so important anymore! But a regular pedicure is good to keep your toes in shape, and it’s a great pick-me-up too! Whether you do an at-home pedicure or you head to the salon, you can keep your feet looking fresh ready for anything. Winter colors like greys, deep purples and reds make the perfect palette to dress up your feet during the dull winter months.
Taking care of your feet is a fantastic example of self-care. It’s a good way to spend time on yourself, while also helping your feet to stay in tip-top condition. In the winter months, it’s important to learn to relax in a way that suits you, and some time to pamper now and then is ideal. Take care of your feet this winter, and they’ll take care of you!
