🦶 Did You Know?

Your Feet Do NOT Have Oil Glands

This is one of the biggest reasons feet become dry, cracked, and uncomfortable.

👣 Here’s why foot skin is different:

The soles of your feet do not have oil (sebaceous) glands
They do have thousands of sweat glands
Sweat = water, not moisture

💦 What this means

Even though your feet may sweat, they cannot naturally lubricate or protect themselves. Without oil, the skin barrier breaks down more easily.
This can lead to:
Dry, flaky skin
Callus buildup
Heel cracks and fissures
Increased risk of skin breakdown and infection

🧴 Why daily foot care matters

Because your feet can’t moisturize themselves:
Regular washing and soaking can actually make dryness worse
Aging, circulation issues, diabetes, and neuropathy increase risk
Daily moisturizing is essential, not optional

✅ What helps

Use a foot-specific cream (not body lotion)
Look for ingredients that:
Add moisture (humectants)
Seal it in (oils/butters)
Support skin repair
Apply daily — especially at night

🦶 Simple truth

Sweaty feet are not moisturized feet.
If you’re unsure which products or routine are best for your feet, professional foot care can help keep your skin healthy, comfortable, and protected.

📍 Healthy feet support your whole body.

Hello Everyone, nurse Victoria here.

I want to share with you that I’ve been facing a particularly intense illness over the past little while, which has left me needing significant rest and recovery—most of my time has been spent sleeping and regaining strength. I deeply appreciate your patience and understanding during this time, and I kindly ask for your continued support as I navigate this difficult period. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I focus on healing. I look forward to returning to full strength and continuing to serve you with the care and dedication you deserve.
