Why Your Feet Take a Beating in the Okanagan (And What to Do About It)
Hot summers, cold winters, and an outdoor lifestyle add up. For a lot of people in Lake Country, a professional pedicure has shifted from an occasional treat to something their feet genuinely need. Here's why.
Dry, Winter Skin
Cooler, dry, winter air tends to create a perfect storm for creating or exacerbating a compromised barrier with dry, irritated, red skin. Skin likes around 60% relative humidity. Winter in the Okanagan is around 30-40%. It’s why skin goes from a raisin-like to grape-like shortly after you step off the plane in Mexico.
Dry Hands?
Hand Washing & Moisturizing The peanut butter and jelly of skin care
It's incredibly important to wash our hands. Also important is using moisturizer to replenish what's lost when we constantly strip the skin through washing and use of harsh sanitizers.
