In winter, feet lose moisture faster due to cold air, indoor heating, and prolonged time in socks & closed shoes. The result is dryness, rough skin, & painful cracks.
What truly helps in winter:

• Daily use of rich foot creams with urea or lactic acid to soften thick, dry skin
• Night-time moisturizing followed by cotton socks to seal hydration
• Gentle exfoliation once weekly—never aggressive filing

Professional pedicures can support maintenance, but they cannot replace consistent barrier repair at home. Over-filing or frequent salon visits may actually worsen dryness if the skin barrier is already compromised.

Doctor’s Note:
Healthy winter feet depend more on repairing the skin barrier than on cosmetic treatments. Pedicures have a role, but disciplined hydration does the real work. As with good skincare, lasting results come from consistency—not intensity.
