Most winter dryness can be fixed at home with a few simple habits, done every day. The trick is to start early, before cracks and peeling set in. In this guide, Dr Asma Parveen, a <\/span><\/i>skin doctor in Lucknow<\/span><\/i><\/a>, explains easy ways to care for cracked heels, chapped lips and dry hands this winter.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n In Lucknow, winter brings cold mornings, foggy days and very dry air. Cold air holds less moisture, so it pulls water out of your skin. Then we add hot baths, room heaters and less water drinking. Together, these weaken the skin’s natural protective layer.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n The parts of the body that suffer first are the ones with the thinnest protection or the most use: your heels, your lips and your hands. Let’s look at each one.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n This guide is all about body care. If you want a step-by-step morning and night routine for your face, read our<\/span><\/i> complete winter skincare guide for Lucknow<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cracked heels heal when you soften the thick skin and then lock moisture in, every night.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Why heels crack: The skin on your heels is thick and has few oil glands. Walking barefoot on cold floors, wearing open-back chappals, standing for long hours and extra body weight all put pressure on dry skin. The edges then split.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Simple home care:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Most people see softer heels within one to two weeks of doing this daily.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n See a doctor if:<\/strong> the cracks are deep, bleed, hurt while walking, look red or swollen, or ooze pus. People with diabetes should get any foot crack checked early, as small wounds can turn into serious infections.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The fastest fix for chapped lips is to stop licking them and keep a plain lip balm on all day.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Why lips chap: Lips have no oil glands of their own, so they dry out faster than any other skin. Licking feels soothing, but saliva evaporates quickly and leaves lips even drier. Breathing through the mouth, cold wind and some flavoured lip products make it worse.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Do:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Don’t:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n If your lips stay cracked for more than two to three weeks, crack at the corners of the mouth, or swell and itch, it could be an allergy, infection or another skin condition. A dermatologist can find the cause.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dry, rough hands improve when you moisturise right after each hand wash, while the skin is still slightly damp.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Why hands dry out: We wash our hands many times a day. Soap, detergent, dishwashing, hand sanitiser and hot water all strip away natural oils. Cold air finishes the job, and the skin on the knuckles and fingertips can crack and even bleed.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n A simple hand care routine:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Keep a small tube of hand cream in your bag, at your desk and near the kitchen sink. Easy reach means you’ll actually use it.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n If your hands have red, itchy patches, small blisters, or deep cracks that don’t heal, it may be hand eczema or a contact allergy. These need proper diagnosis and treatment.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A few small changes to your daily routine protect all your skin, not just the dry spots.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If dryness doesn’t improve after two to three weeks of regular care, it’s time to see a dermatologist.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Sometimes what looks like simple winter dryness is actually eczema, psoriasis, a fungal infection, an allergy, or a sign of a health issue such as thyroid problems or diabetes. Using random creams can delay the right treatment. Book a visit if you notice:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n If you’re looking for a <\/span><\/i>skin doctor in Lucknow<\/i><\/b>, Dr Asma Parveen (M.D.) can check your skin, find out what’s really causing the dryness, and suggest a care plan that fits your skin type and daily routine.
