Winters are a mark that you are going to lose the softness of your hands and feet. Majority of us experience this painfully dry skin problem in winters. Here are a few remedies which would help you this winter.
Wear socks to prevent cracks
When your foot is constantly exposed to trauma, it responds by thickening the skin on the sole of your foot. Walking around barefoot is the most common cause. This thick skin can lead to deep cracks in your heels if you don’t treat it. Make sure to wear comfy socks or slippers when walking around your house.
Soothe with a yogurt mask
For a cheap alternative to that high-end cream, try coating dry feet and hands in full-fat yogurt. The lactic acid in yogurt acts as a natural exfoliant to gently remove dead skin while the fats restore moisture. For an extra boost, mix a teaspoon of raw honey into the yogurt before slathering on skin. Leave the mask on for ten minutes before rinsing off.
Mash an avocado
The fats in avocados are extra nourishing for dry hands. Mash half of an avocado and combine with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/8 cup sugar. The sugar will exfoliate dead skin away while the oils moisturize skin.
Put on vitamin E
Vitamin E is known to quench parched skin. Look for lotions with vitamin E already in them, or buy vitamin E capsules. Pierce 3-5 of the capsules and squeeze the contents into a small bowl. Mix with one spoonful of olive oil and massage into dry patches of skin. Olive oil is a natural source of vitamin E and will also reduce the stickiness of the capsules.
Try products with vitamin B3
B3 is another vitamin that will work to repair damaged skin. Vitamin B3 increases the production of ceramides and fatty acids, two components of your skins outer protective barrier.
