Causes of dryness

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

In addition, peeling and calluses are caused by wearing shoes that are too tight and using cosmetics with the wrong composition.

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

How to combat dryness

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.
