ATLANTA, GEORGIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 26, 2025 / Why do my feet peel in the summer? If you've asked yourself this question, you're not alone. Many people notice peeling skin on their feet during the warmer months, often due to sun exposure, sweating, or increased time in sandals or barefoot.
Ankle & Foot Centers of America wants the community to know that summer foot care doesn't have to be complicated. Understanding why feet peel and learning how to care for feet can help prevent discomfort and keep skin healthy all season long.
Here are some common reasons feet peel in the summer:
Dry skin from sun and heat exposure
Sweat buildup in shoes or sandals
Fungal infections from walking barefoot in public spaces
Friction from sandals or flip-flops
To prevent peeling and protect your skin, follow these summer foot care tips:
Moisturize daily to keep skin hydrated
Wear breathable shoes and moisture-wicking socks
Apply sunscreen to exposed areas of the feet
Avoid walking barefoot in locker rooms, pools, or public showers
Stay well hydrated throughout the day
How should I take care of my feet if peeling has already started? Gently exfoliate dry skin, moisturize regularly, and avoid harsh treatments. If peeling is severe, painful, or accompanied by redness or itching, it may be time to visit a podiatrist.
Ankle & Foot Centers of America encourages everyone to make foot care in summer part of their wellness routine. Healthy feet help keep you active, comfortable, and ready to enjoy the season.
