PEEL AWAY DEAD SKIN WITH EXFOLIATING SOCKS

WINTER can be a good thing for toe nails. ‘It’s no bad thing having a break from nail polish,’ says consultant podiatrist Emma Supple. But skin often needs a moisture boost.

‘Give your feet a facial,’ says Supple. ‘I’d soak them in Epsom Salts, which softens and helps remove dead skin.’ Or try Starskin Exfoliating Double Layer Foot Mask Socks (£11.50, feelunique.com) pictured.

These contain lactic acid and calendula oil. Wear for an hour and over the next week dead skin will peel away.

Supple suggests metatarsal exercises to help stiff feet: draw up the arch of the foot, curling in your toes.
