Did you know? Five Facts That Are Full of the Joys of Spring

1. Spring Fever is Real! Studies show that people tend to feel more energetic and optimistic during spring due to the longer days and increased sunlight.

2. Spring Cleaning isn’t Just for Homes: The tradition of “spring cleaning” can be traced back to ancient cultures.

3. Day-to-Night: The vernal equinox on March 20th marks the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, on a day when there are nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness.

4. Sunny Days: In the UK, the sunniest spring on record was in 2020, with a total of 626.2 sunshine hours!

5. What’s in a Date: Although we think of spring starting on our astronomical calendars on March 20th, according to the Phenological method, it begins when plants start flowering, and that date changes every year.

Why Do You Need a Foot Care Routine for Spring?

As winter fades and spring arrives, your feet face a shift in their environment. Months of being enclosed in thick socks and insulated boots often leave skin feeling dry and rough. Now, as the weather warms up, your feet are exposed to new conditions that require special care.

How Can Spring Affect Feet?

• Wet Wet Wet: Spring’s warmer temperatures mean chances of increased perspiration are high. Spring showers can also bring damp conditions that make feet more susceptible to irritation.

• New Shoes: The new season shift from heavy winter boots to sandals or clogs can create friction and pressure points, even with quality shoes that we’ve owned for a long time.

• Out and About: With longer days and more outdoor activities, your feet will likely see more action, whether it’s exploring nature, outdoor workouts or dancing the night away.
