Why Do My Feet Keep Peeling?

As much as we love swapping tips and tricks to solve our biggest beauty dilemmas, there are some questions we may not feel comfortable asking our friends about, let alone Google without going incognito. Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. In this series, we’re tackling those embarrassing beauty queries by turning to experts in the field to get you the answers you need — minus any awkward feelings.

As we round out summer, you may be realizing that your feet look particularly battered — and we’re not just talking a chipped toenail or two. If you’ve reached down to slip into a pair of your favorite sandals only to think, “Mmm, better not,” you’re not alone. Peeling feet are incredibly common, even if no one admits to it. Keep scrolling to discover what’s up with your feet and if it’s something you should *actually* be concerned about.

HERE’S WHY YOUR FEET ARE PEELING

Brit + Co: My feet keep peeling. What’s up with that?

Papri Sarkar, Boston-based dermatologist and vice president of the New England Dermatological Society: There are many, many reasons that the skin on the feet might peel. Sunburns, genetic disorders, infections, psoriasis, eczema, and rarely, certain types of skin cancer. The two most common reasons that I see for peeling feet are 1) excess dry skin, and 2) tinea pedis AKA athlete’s foot.

B+C: Okay, so it looks like peeling is really common. Can you break down what might make it worse?

PS: Peeling can be the result of internal or external factors. For example, if you have athlete’s foot it really means that you have a superficial fungal infection by an external organism called a dermatophyte. An internal cause of peeling skin on the foot can be a genetic disorder that causes dry, cracked, thickened skin of the hands and feet, along with a host of other findings. Dry, excess skin, like we usually see in clinic, can be a a mix of internal and external factors. For example, if you have dry skin that runs in your family, you have an internal factor that contributes to [any other external causes you might be facing]. In addition, external factors like weather (especially winter or forced hot air), using drying or harsh soaps, or very hot water can dry out the skin as well.

B+C: Speaking of weather, is there a certain time of year when peeling is more likely? Or is it a year-round kind of thing?

PS: In summer, when it’s hot and more people are sweaty, all fungal infections, including tinea pedis/athlete’s foot, increase. In winter, when dry skin is rampant all over the body, dry skin on the feet makes more appearances too.

Signs OF and solutions FOR peeling

B+C: Interesting. Are there ever any symptoms to look for to stop an incipient case of athlete’s foot or prevent a bad case from getting worse?

PS: Yes. If you notice itchy, white skin between the toes and you know it’s the beginning of your usual athlete’s foot, I recommend a few things:

1. An Anti-Fungal Cream: Ideally you want to use it between the toes, on the top of the foot, and the whole bottom of the foot twice a day for two to four weeks. It may seem like overkill to treat everything below the ankle, but this is most effective. Don’t just put it in the areas you see the fungus. It’s hiding elsewhere too.

2. Clean, Dry Feet: If your socks get sweaty, change them often. Fungi like moist, warm environments, and the close quarters between toes is a favorite place for them to make a home. Make it inhospitable for them!

B+C: If it’s not athlete’s foot, what steps do you recommend?

Quenby Erickson, Chicago-based dermatologist and founder of Erickson Cosmetic Dermatology, Laser and MedSpa: In general, regular use of a cream containing urea [like Gold Bond Triple-Action Foot Cream ($6)] or lactic acid will keep the skin moist and supple, preventing peeling.

PS: Some people have excess sweating (called hyperhidrosis) of the feet. For those folks, using something like Certain Dri ($7) (a liquid antiperspirant) can help to decrease sweat and make the area less hospitable for fungi. Extra hot showers, harsh soaps, and dry, hot air will only dry out skin — especially if it’s already dry. And dryness can lead to peeling. As soon as you’re out of the shower, when your feet are still a little damp, put on a thick, moisturizing cream. This can be slippery, so I usually recommend slippers or flip-flops. For dry skin, I also love foot peel kits like the Patchology PediCure ($20) or Baby Foot ($25). Just be warned that when you get peeling from these it REALLY peels, so give yourself a seven- to 10-day head start before you plan to wear flip-flops or get married on a beach! A simple scrub or pumice stone can also do the trick if your dry skin isn’t very severe.

And if it just won’t let up…

B+C: If all that doesn’t work, what’s the next step?

QE: There are many causes of peeling that only a dermatologist would know how to diagnose and treat. If home remedies are not working, consult a board-certified dermatologist.If it persists, it may point to a more serious condition with systemic implications, such as psoriasis or hypothyroidism.

This post has been updated with additional reporting by Meredith Holser.

The entire world fell in love with Pedro Pascal during The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, and even though we won't see him as Reed Richards in the Fantastic 4until next summer, there is PLENTY of content to go around. He's always fangirling over someone's nails or hyping up his family, and Connie Nielsen explaining how Pedro made her feel special on the Gladiator 2 set makes me love him even more (which I didn't know was possible).

Keep reading to see what Connie Nielsen had to say about working with Pedro Pascal on Gladiator 2. TBH, It just might restore your faith in men.

Gladiator 2 follows Paul Mescal's Lucius, who's determined to bring down General Acacius (Pedro Pascal), who he considers responsible for his loss. Connie plays Pedro's onscreen wife Lucilla, and when asked what it was like to share scenes with him, she reveals she felt "really feminine around him."

"He's a protector in a way, and I'm not always used to that," she tells Good Morning America. "So it was kind of special to have that feeling that he was a guy who's protective and kind and just [a] very loving kind of person."

The actress also spilled on how "you can just tell he has this joy and, at the same time, you can also sense that he's been through stuff that's been hard and I just really love a person who responds to what has been hard in life with joy."

Pedro Pascal has been vocal about his family fleeing Chile in the 1970s, and how his parents had to "go into hiding for about six months," and it's clear Connie's proud of the man he's become. "He doesn't become caustic or, you know, entitled," she continues. "He's the least entitled man, always nice to everyone on set. Just a sweetheart of a guy."

Is someone cutting onions?!

For his part, Pedro loved working with Connie too, and, when asked what it was like working together, Pedro immediately responds with, "Power couple."

"We just dove right in," he continues, joking that he "made sure Connie understood that I was her man."

Pedro Pascal always seems to have an encouraging comment or joke ready to make everyone laugh, and revealed to Entertainment Weekly that during an intense battle scene, he actually tripped and landed at Paul Mescal's feet.

"I was running off the drawbridge, and they kind of dressed it with some dust so that when it slams against the fortified wall, there's a big puff of smoke," he says. "And I'm charging off the drawbridge and jumping over the wall, and I slip. I literally bounce off the drawbridge on my —ss and land splat in front of Paul's feet on the first take." Naturally, he followed up with, "Are you not entertained?"

Are you excited to see Connie Nielsen and Pedro Pascal in Gladiator 2? If you're still thinking about the Roman Empire, read up on what What Paul Mescal Had To Say About Gladiator 3.

Halloween is supposed to be full of spooky surprises, freaky frights, and twisted thrills – but even though we really do love ALL the scary Halloween costumes, we also enjoy killing the disguise game in hilariously original, pun-filled get-ups. This year, consider swapping out that “pretty” look for some much-needed humor to any and every spooky gathering.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are currently filming the upcomingA24 film, The Drama, and it's a pair I didn't know I needed! I'm so pumped to see the two of them front and center in the new movie, and not just because the Massachusetts location is giving MAJOR New England autumn vibes. The actors have been spotted walking around the city, hanging out outside an art museum, and even getting into a road rage altercation? Yeah, that definitely sounds like drama to me.

Keep reading for every little detail you need to know about Robert Pattinson and Zendaya's new A24 movie The Drama.

What movie is Robert Pattinson and Zendaya in together?

The Drama Plot

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson's The Drama comes from the mind of Kristoffer Borgli, who most recently directed Dream Scenario starring Nicholas Cage. Borgli is slated to work alongside Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen’s production company Square Peg for the film, so I'm sure it'll be just as thought-provoking and thrilling as some of the other projects they’ve produced (Midsommar, Beau is Afraid, Death of a Unicorn).

Given Zendaya and Pattinson’s respective star power, I know this upcoming A24 project is going to be absolutely stunning. Even though we don't have any specific plot details yet, Deadline reported that The Drama tells the story of a couple whose romance takes a (you guessed it) dramatic turn right before their “big day.” Tell me more!!

One thing we do know is that a scene will apparently feature Zendaya's character getting into an altercation with a car while on a walk. The actress went viral for throwing a drink at a passing car, and she's so convincing, one TikTok user said "help i thought this was real for a second i was like omg what is going on."

What else has Zendaya been up to?

Zendaya currently boasts two Emmys from her work in HBO’sEuphoria and has only continued to exhibit her talents in recent feature titles like Dune: Part Two and Challengers. Plus she's finally reuniting with BF Tom Holland in Spider-Man 4and Christopher Nolan's brand new film. Busy gal!

What about Rob?

Of course, we all know and love Pattinson for his role as Edward in the Twilight movies, but he’s positioned himself as a truly versatile actor with roles in 2022’s The Batman and Bong Joon Ho’s upcoming sci-fi film, Mickey 17.

The two stars are still in early talks about starring in the film, but Deadline has confirmed that The Drama is a “top priority” at A24 given the success with 2023’s Dream Scenario. And, like, DUH!
