As with many skin solutions, foot care is no different – exfoliating, cleansing and moisturising is key!
The most common way to reduce the build-up of dry skin and improve cracked heels is to use a pumice stone or exfoliant and scrub! Regularly exfoliating the dead skin will stop the build-up becoming problematic. A little bit every day is much better than a mammoth session once a month!
The best time to exfoliate is during a bath, after a shower or if you have time to sit and soak your feet for 10 mins in warm water with a little product added as exfoliating on warm, softened skin makes the job easier, is less aggressive and a great foot soak is always soothing for your mental health. Three birds one pumice stone, right?
Once your feet are clean, exfoliated and thoroughly dried we recommend a good foot cream that has a urea content, although the sole of your foot has sweat glands they aren’t home to oil glands - meaning your feet do need some assistance in forming a soft, protective barrier to prevent cracks/fissures forming.
