Does anyone else totally neglect their feet in the winter? I’m the worst. My feet never see the light of day, I rock the same nail polish that was on my toes in September, it’s not a good situation. However, winter is the best time to be taking care of your feet and prepare them for summer. It’s so easy too. It only takes one simple step.
Are you ready for it?
Wear socks to bed.
I’m serious. That’s it.
If you remember a couple of months ago, I did a foot peeling mask that I was less-than-thrilled about. But wearing socks to bed is something I can totally get behind. I’m all about passive self-care ya know?
By wearing socks to bed you loosen dead skin, keep your feet hydrated, and hydrate your nails.Ā You can make it a smidge more complicated and use lotion before putting on your socks. This will add a little extra moisture for extra hydration. I like to use the Gold Bond Healing Lotion with Aloe. I use this for sunburns, but it works great forĀ feet too.Ā This lotionĀ also super cheap and you can buy it anywhere.
I’ve actually taken it a step further with these awesome moisturizing gel socks. They are almost sold out, but this pair is really similar. These socks have a gel lining that are infused with jojoba oil, lavender essential oil, and Vitamin E.
You can still put lotion on while using these, but they are also able to be used on their own.Ā All the oils and and vitamins penetrate rough, dry, and cracked skin and lock in moisture. It’s recommended to wear them at least three days a week, but you can use them daily. Just be sure to only wear them to bed. Don’t walk around the house too much and definitely don’t wear them with shoes. Night time use only! You can also wash them, but only hand wash and hang dry.
So you sleep with warm feet and wake up with pretty ones. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

This would be a great thing for me to try, especially since my feet were FREEZING last night! I’ve always been self-conscious of my feet, and I never really do anything to care for them. I think I’ll give this a try.
Wow I never would’ve thought it made that big of a difference! I have put lotion on with socks over to keep lotion from spreading when my feet got REAL dry, but I didn’t know just wearing socks regularly could help. Awesome tip, thanks!
I actually love pampering my feet bc I hate dry heels lol I love smothering on a thick cream and covering them with socks. Softest feet ever!
easy peasy leomn squeezy! thanks babe!
Thank you for doing this post! I have always had horrible feet, but they are especially bad in the winter.
Great tip! I don’t wear socks to bed, I will have to start wearing them. I too have had the same polish on my toe for the past couple months.
Duly noted and bookmarked . gonna try this from now on. I am done with my ugly feet.health check
I definitely need to buy some socks like these, my feet can get pretty bad. LOL!
i hate socks when i’m trying to sleep. but then again, no one has ever said my feet were ugly
I do and I don’t haha. I get cold easily so I wear socks at night, then I get hot and take them off lol.
I have to try this as my feet are like nasty with crack skin and dry nails. I try to moisture twice a day but it is still hell.
