Seasonal Nail and Foot Care: Tips for Every Time of Year

Your nails and feet face different challenges in every season.

Quick answer

Nails and feet need different care across the year. In winter, dry indoor air and heating make nails brittle and heels crack, so moisturise more and use a humidifier. In spring, gently exfoliate and trim to prepare for sandals. In summer, protect feet from sun and wear sandals in public pools and showers. In fall, check shoes, refresh socks and restore moisture.

Key takeaways

Just as your skin changes with the weather, so do your nails and feet. Adjusting your routine each season keeps them healthy all year.

Winter

Fight dryness

Cold air and indoor heating pull moisture from nails and skin. Moisturise nails, cuticles and heels twice a day and consider a humidifier.

Warm, dry feet

Wear moisture-wicking wool socks and change out of wet boots promptly.

Spring and summer

Sandal prep

Gently exfoliate rough heels, trim nails straight across and give nails a polish-free break.

Sun protection

Apply sunscreen to the tops of your feet when wearing sandals.

Public spaces

Wear sandals around pools, gyms and public showers.

Fall

Refresh footwear

Check shoes for wear, replace old socks and let summer-worn feet recover with extra moisture.

Restore routine

Get back into a regular foot care routine before winter.

Daily support

Take AppaNail as directed year-round for consistent support from within.
