Haath aur pair roz sabse zyada kaam karte hain, lekin routine me unko sabse kam attention milti hai. Result – dry hands, cracked heels, rough toes, jo suddenly sandals season me yaad aate hain.
Hands ke liye sabse bada villain hota hai frequent washing + harsh soaps. Cleanliness zaruri hai, but har wash ke baad halka sa hand-cream ya glycerin-based lotion use kar loge to barrier recover hota rahega. Dish-washing, strong cleaners ke time simple gloves bohot difference la dete hain.
Feet me dead skin naturally accumulate hoti hai, especially heels pe. Har roz thoda sa moisturiser lagana, aur week me 1–2 baar gentle file/pumice stone use karna cracking prevent kar sakta hai. Aggressive razors ya bohot hard filing se micro-cuts aur infection ka risk badhta hai.
Night-time trick: thoda thick cream/ petroleum jelly type layer laga ke cotton socks pehen lo, subah noticeable softness feel hogi.
Agar heels frequently bleed ho rahe, yellow thick patches ban rahe, ya diabetes jaise issues hain, to podiatrist/doctor ka guidance lena safe rahta hai. Fungal infections (itchy, smelly, peeling skin between toes) ko normal dryness samajh ke ignore mat karo.
Nails trim karte waqt sides ko too deep cut karne ki habit bhi ingrown nails ka reason ban sakti hai. Straight cut, thoda corner visible chhodna generally safer pattern hota hai.
