🍂 Fun Friday Fact: Autumn can be “blister season” for your feet! 👣

As the weather starts to cool, many of us swap sandals and lighter footwear for trainers, boots, and closed shoes again.

And that seasonal wardrobe change can give your feet a surprise. 😅

A few quick facts:

👟 Shoes you have not worn for months may rub in slightly different places
🧦 Thicker autumn socks can make familiar footwear feel tighter
👣 Extra pressure and friction can create “hot spots” before a blister appears
🍂 Gradually breaking footwear back in can make the transition much more comfortable

Practical tip:
If you notice a hot spot or rubbing, stop before a blister forms. Adjust your socks, loosen your laces if appropriate, or use a protective blister plaster or dressing over the area before continuing. ✅

Your feet can change over time, so a pair of boots that fitted perfectly last autumn may not feel the same this year.

👉 Fun Friday question:

Have you brought your autumn footwear back out yet?

🥾 Boots are already on
👟 Still in trainers
☀️ Holding onto summer shoes
😅 I discovered my old shoes do not fit like they used to!

You've probably been hearing a lot about urea lately... but what actually is it? 👀🦶

Despite the name, urea is one of the most effective skincare ingredients for dry, rough skin and it's especially great for your feet.

✨ Here's why it's become such a popular ingredient:
• It helps attract and retain moisture, keeping skin hydrated.
• It gently breaks down hard, thickened skin, making it softer and smoother.
• It helps improve the skin's natural barrier, protecting against further dryness.

That's why you'll often find urea in products designed for dry, cracked heels and hardworking feet. The higher the percentage, the more intensive the treatment can be for stubborn areas.

If your feet are feeling dry, rough, or in need of some TLC, urea could be the ingredient they've been waiting for!💙

Some medications can change how your body responds to heat and sun exposure. 🌞

Certain medications can affect how your body regulates temperature, controls blood flow, sweats, and stays hydrated. This can make it harder to cope with hot weather and increase the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, or, in severe cases, heatstroke. Other medications might make your skin more sensitive to the sun, meaning you need greater protection.

If you're taking regular medication, it's worth checking whether heat or sun exposure may affect you.

Continue taking your medication as prescribed, unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional. Speak to your pharmacist or healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
