Skiers, Skaters and Snowboarders: Keep Feet and Foot Gear in Top Shape
Winter sports are hard on skin, feet and ankles when the combination of lower temperatures and reduced humidity extracts moisture directly from skin. Foot care expert, Carol J. Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation (www.xenna.com), says, "For outdoor winter activities, it's important to keep feet dry, but moisturized, have a daily foot care regimen (or at least look at your feet), and wear the right socks."
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) February 6, 2009 -- Winter footcare and foot gear is sometimes neglected by skiers, skaters and snowboarders. But the combination of lower temperatures and reduced humidity almost doubles the incidence of dry skin in winter compared to summer. Dry skin can reduce agility, performance and fun.
Foot care expert, Carol J. Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation (www.xenna.com), says, "For outdoor winter activities, it's important to keep feet dry, but moisturized, have a daily foot care regimen (or at least look at your feet), and wear the right socks."
Podiatrists agree that proper footwear for activities such as skiing or walking is also extremely important.
Keeping feet dry and comfortable by choosing properly fitted footwear and the right socks can go a long way to prevent problems, such as blisters.
Tips from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) include:
| | - Start easy and build up your distances slowly.
- Don't forget to stretch regularly.
- Use sport specific shoes.
- Fit your shoes with the socks that you plan to wear

Particularly suitable for winter (and summer) athletes is CalleX Ointment for Dry Feet.
Its natural enzymes exfoliate thickened skin areas, while moisturizing and rejuvenating dry, cracked heels. According to the company, CalleX Ointment produces significant improvement within 15 to 30 days.
"For winter athletes who enjoy a relaxing hot tub, toenails should not be neglected, either," says Ms. Buck. "And winter is the right time to start caring for unsightly toenails as they grow slowly and improvement in how they look can take 6 months or longer."
Xenna's patented NonyX® Nail Gel offers a unique, natural approach to improving the appearance of yellow or discolored nails.
It's a topical, easy-to-use gel that gradually breaks down and removes keratin debris - the off-white, granular buildup under nails that makes them look so ugly.
Both NonyX and CalleX are diabetic-friendly and offered at a major savings with mail-in rebate coupons downloadable at http://www.xenna.com/xenna_coupons.html
On a per ounce basis, NonyX Nail Gel is just $6.25 or less an ounce. Sold in a 4 oz. bottle, one bottle will typically last 3-4 months. It's also moneyback guaranteed.
