Natural Organic Foot Balm

Winter is a good time to let your toenails breath and get exposed to light.  It’s important to give your nails a break from polish, says foot specialist Joy Rowland, DPM.  The danger with keeping your nail polish on too long is that the pigment in the nail polish can soak into the top few layers of the nail and dry it out, Dr. Rowland says.

When that happens, fungus, yeast, bacteria, mold and mildew can develop underneath the nail plate, which can lead to long-term problems. The nail plate is the hard part of the nail that appears on top of the skin.  I personally take a break from pedicures in the wintertime, so my nail beds get a break from being constantly covered in layers of nail polish.  JES Organics foot balm is a great way to keep your feet soft and prevent and/or treat dry skin and cracking.  I use it even when getting pedicures to keep my feet soft in between appointments but it is especially important during the wintertime when I take a break from pedicures.
