If your feet have been ‘roughing’ it through the winter, treat them to a soothing home spa. From foot exfoliators that renew rough soles to creams that soften cracked dry skin, put your feet first with moisture-charged products.

New York-based Podiatrists Dr. Neal Houslanger and Dr. Matthew Kassnove, share a few of their top foot care dos and don’ts tips:

“DO:
• Yearly professional checkups
• Check for cracks, sores and painful reddened areas
• Trim toenails straight across (don’t cut into the corners)
• Wash feet in warm not hot water
• Dry feet well, especially between the toes (blot dry, do not rub)
• Apply cream to your feet (avoiding between the toes)
• Wear comfortable well-fitting shoes and socks
• Shop for shoes later in the day since feet swell by then
• Orthotic wearers should have them checked professionally every 6 months
• Walk as it’s the best exercise for the feet. Most Americans log 75,000 miles on their feet by the time they reach the age of 50

DON’T
• Walk barefoot–even indoors or around pools and beaches–the feet need protection
• Trim corns and calluses with a razor
• Use over-the-counter medicated corn and callus removers which may cause skin burns
• Wear the same pair of orthotics for more than 5 years.”

There’s no time like the present to treat your feet!

It’s the holiday season, which usually means I’m multitasking at the highest level. From office parties and baking for the family to being the hostess with the mostess, it can feel like I get stretched too thin in no time flat. Here are my top picks for R&R essentials when I’m able to sneak in a few minutes to pamper myself. Bonus: these all make great gifts for anyone who could use a de-stressor or three.

Meet Nordstrom’s new National Beauty Director, Debra Redmond! She shares her favorite products that are the base for her weekly skincare routine. Get winter-ready skin with Debra’s DIY approach!

“As temperatures outside cool down and the heat inside cranks up, the change in climate takes the biggest toll on your skin. While you might initially think that your skin is dry, there may be more to it than that. Unless you’re drinking enough H2O and hydrating/moisturizing the skin enough on the outside, dry, flaky skin may happen during the winter months. I’ve come up with a few easy steps that will have your skin looking flawless in no time.

Now, keep in mind that I travel regularly and I have three children all under six, but that doesn’t stop me from taking a few minutes out of the week to ensure that my skin not only looks its best, but feels its best too.

“Step One: Cleanse.
Start with a great cleanser that won’t strip or dry out the skin. My fave is Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser—I use it daily. I love the fact that it’s foaming, but creamy and milky at the same time. It’s non-drying, just super ahhhh-comfy!

Step Two: Exfoliate.
Try CAUDALÍE Deep Cleansing Exfoliator—your face will instantly radiate as this removes dead skin and rids the skin of irritating pollutants. You will see immediate results!

Step Three: Oxygenate the Skin.
Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask, aka my weekly dose of oxygen, vitamin C, anti-free radicals and moisture fix, all in one. One spritz, and you’ll smell good and your skin will feel beautiful.

Step Four: Get the Glow.
Opt for a little luxury in a jar. Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Revitalizing Cream is guaranteed to hydrate skin on delivery. From the first time I used this cream, I was instantly addicted. Nothing makes my skin feel softer, and the scent is divine too!

Time is always so precious and we never seem to have enough of it, but trust me when I say—take the time to preserve  your skin. You’ll thank me later!”
