Quick podiatry reminder 📣 As we come into winter you may notice your skin becomes dry. As it gets colder the humidity level drops, this causes the water in your skin to evaporate quicker. Combined with cold wind that is harsh on your skin, we lose more than 25% of our ability to hold water during winter. So grab a moisturiser and pop some on those feet and legs. If your feet are especially dry, grab some cream with a higher Urea % and rub that in. Applying cream just before bed and putting on socks is also a great way to soak it up without slipping and sliding all day. . . . . . #podiatry #moisturiser #podiatrist #alliedhealth #winter #winterskin #dryskin #urea #healthprofessional #moistureloss #alliedhealthprofessional #feet #foot #toes #lowerlimb
