The reasons may lie in a variety of factors.

Experts shared their opinions with the publication " Gazeta.Ru ".

Causes of dryness

Dry skin on the feet during the cold season may indicate a deficiency of iodine and vitamin A.

This phenomenon can also be age-related. Due to changes in hormonal levels, the skin becomes less elastic and loses its fat "cushions".

Experts advise to consult a dermatologist and also follow simple rules:

  • take care of your skin with special foot creams;
  • choose and wear only comfortable shoes;
  • go to a salon for a pedicure at least once a month;
  • Move more to get blood flowing to your feet.
