Cold Feet
Although they rarely see the light of a winter’s day, feet can suffer as much as more exposed areas. Suzanne Levine, a Manhattan podiatrist, recommends sloughing feet in the shower daily with a pumice stone coated with body lotion to help keep them soft and odor free. As important as this step is, drying is equally vital, paying special attention between the toes. "Winter is a wonderful time for fungus to grow," says Levine. For a nighttime treatment, Levine raves about a copper cream, Complex Cu3, that can be found a her Web site, www.institutebeaute.com. Other creams that keep feet happy include Michael by Michael Kors Barefoot Beauty Crème and Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Foot Repair Balm.
