Some people experience peeling on their hands and feet every winter, starting with itching, small blisters, and peeling. The peeling area increases year by year and extends deeper, eventually revealing fresh, tender skin. Peeling of the hands and feet caused by nutritional deficiency is generally related to a lack of vitamin A. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that protects the skin's surface. A deficiency can lead to skin dryness and peeling.
To prevent peeling of hands and feet in winter, keep your skin clean and try to minimize water exposure. When washing your hands, it's best to use hot water. Eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as animal liver, egg yolks, milk, cheese, fish, shellfish, and carrots. The carotene in these foods can be converted into vitamin A in the body, so it's a good idea to eat them regularly. Since vitamin A is fat-soluble, it should be cooked with oil. It is also important to apply hand cream after washing your hands every day, and you can also use vitamin E on your hands, massaging as you apply it.
