Why this worksSummer heat can dry out your feet, leading to rough skin and calluses. A proper foot care routine hydrates and exfoliates, promoting soft skin and better overall foot health. Regular care not only feels good but also helps prevent discomfort from dry, cracked heels.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Soak Your Feet Begin with a warm foot soak for about 10-15 minutes. This softens the skin and prepares your feet for exfoliation.
  2. Exfoliate Use a foot scrub or pumice stone to gently remove dead skin. Focus on heels and balls of your feet for the best results.
  3. Moisturise Apply a rich foot cream or lotion to keep your skin hydrated. Don’t forget to massage it into your heels and between your toes.
  4. Nail Care Trim and file your nails to keep them neat. Consider applying a cuticle oil to nourish the skin around your nails.
  5. Finish with Sunscreen If you’ll be out and about, apply sunscreen to your feet to protect them from harmful UV rays.

Where people go wrong

Many skip the soak, thinking it’s unnecessary, but it’s key for softening skin. Over-exfoliating can cause irritation, so be gentle. Also, remember to moisturise daily, not just during foot care days.

The pro moveConsider using a foot mask for an extra boost of hydration during your routine.
