It’s that time of the season where you see different shades
of cracked up feet which look unhealthy and a sight for sore eyes. The harmattan season isn’t a reason for your
feet to look bad because the foot is composed of naturally thick and dry skin
unlike the remaining parts of the body. The feet have no oil glands so it
relies on thousands of sweat glands to keep it moisturised. The feet can become
dry for a number of reasons, but during the harmattan it dries out cracks up.
There are many ways to prevent this, such as:
1. Remove dead dry skin with feet filler: when our feet get
dry it becomes ugly and have a cranky look which creates an unhealthy impression
about you. Feet filler are used to take off dead dry skin during this season.
2. Wash and Moisture your feet: it is advisable to always
keep our feet clean at all times. Because our feet are dry and it requires thousands
of sweat to make it sweat washing the feet is the best thing to do. After
washing moisturize the feet to make it look good, attractive and smooth
3. Avoid rubbing or scratching the feet: It is very
important to avoid rubbing and scratching the feet in other to get a smooth and
clear look. When the feet are scratched it looks rough, and ugly.
4. Do oils: instead of lotion try some olive oil, coconut
oil, Vaseline or Shea butter on your feet to keep it moisturised and smooth.
5. Wear socks to bed: wearing sock improves dry feet not
only during harmattan season but always after washing and moisturising them.
This speed up the moisturising process and makes your feet to look and feel
much softer and smoother in the morning.
