Do your hands in the winter sometimes feel as dry as the branches of this snowman? It always seems strange that our hands should get dry in the winter when there is so much more moisture in the air … or is there? Well – actually when the air temperature is colder, the air cannot hold as much moisture and the excess moisture condenses into droplets. So in the winter, when temperatures are lower, the air is actually dryer. The use of heaters also dries out the air inside and it is easy to understand why we suffer more from dry skin in the winter.
When the skin on our hands dries out and starts to crack, bacteria can enter the cracks causing pain. The solution for cracked winter hands is to moisturize and prevent or stop the bacteria. Rub winter hands and feet cream several times a day. Once the cracks in the hands/feet have subsided, you can apply the cream just once a day to prevent cracking Winter Athlete’s Foot.
Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection that tends to be found between the toes. It is highly contagious and spreads rapidly in the summer in warm and damp places such as swimming pools and gym dressing rooms. In the winter, when our feet are closed up in shoes and socks all day, they may stay moist and allow the fungus to grow. A flare-up of Athlete’s Foot normally shows an imbalance in the body which more often than not is due to stress.
Wash the area of the toes and between the toes well, preferably using a natural soap that doesn’t dry the skin. Many of us forget about soaping this area and it is important for preventing fungus.
After a shower/bath gently dry your feet well with a towel by patting the affected areas (not rubbing) especially between the toes.
Since the fungus thrives in a warm, moist environment – we want to change that environment. This can be done by using a hair dryer! After drying the feet, take the hair dryer, and on medium heat dry the area of the feet and the areas between the toes, and also dry the tops and bottoms of the toes.
If you repeat this every day – you may even forget that you use to have intense itching!
