Most of us suffer from cracked heels and dry peeling cuticles during winter months. Both can be very painful conditions. Here again you need to exfoliate and moisturize on a regular basis.
In case of dry hands, you should try to re-apply hand and nail cream every time you wash your hands during winter. To buff your hands, take a bit of your body scrub and rub it into your hands taking extra care around your nails and fingertips. Wash off with nearly cold water. Do not cut your dry cuticle; instead push it back with a cotton bud dipped in cuticle cream. Then dip your hands in a bowl of olive oil for 10 minutes.
Massage your hands and wipe off oil with a warm wet towel.
Finally, moisturize with your body cream to keep them petal soft. To soothe dry cracked heels and feet, buff the rough areas daily with a foot file and pumice stone. Pat your feet dry and massage in a thick coat of Vaseline on the cracked area and rub some on your feet as well.
Put on your socks and go to sleep.
If you generally have normal skin, then you can even try glycerine mixed with rosewater instead of Vaseline. When going out during the day, apply a creamy foot balm to protect your feet. You can even try creams with chamomile and mint or eucalyptus extracts for faster healing.
