One of our favorite wintertime activities is throwing a pair of thick socks over just-moisturized feet. Because while we love going to the spa and having our feet rubbed down, actually getting to the salon when it’s below zero degrees outside is like searching for a needle in a haystack: really difficult and the type of needless suffering we try to avoid. For that reason, we have some of the best foot masks on deck to make our self-care sesh a lot more convenient but equally effective.
Like hand masks, foot mittens aren’t exactly necessary. You can always slather your skin in Vaseline or some other heavy ointment when flaking and ash become an issue. It’s also way more affordable than investing in a special treatment. But that’s just it; they’re not special. And as far as we’re concerned, you deserve special things… like a nourishing foot mask that forces you to put your feet up and stay hydrated from head-to-toe, literally.
There are peels that take days to kick in, but ultimately shed skin beyond belief. And then there are heavy-duty lotions that work best with overnight use. Ahead are options for both.
Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.
