Why does hot water itch your feet?
Soaking feet in hot water is because the skin is soaked in hot water for too long, which leads to dry skin and itchy feet. Therefore, no matter what age people soak their feet, it is best to use certain moisturizing products after the end to keep their skin moist.

The best water temperature for soaking feet is below 50℃, which requires hot but not scalding. Feel the water temperature with your feet instead of your hands. If the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels on the feet will easily expand excessively, and the blood in the body will flow more to the lower limbs, which will easily lead to insufficient blood supply to important organs such as the heart, brain and kidney, which is not good for the body.
