Foot Care Essentials: Steps to Healthy and Happy Feet

1. Dry and Cracked Heels: Often caused by dehydration and lack of moisture, resulting in discomfort and rough skin.
2. Sore and Tired Feet: From prolonged standing or wearing uncomfortable shoes, which can lead to fatigue and muscle tension.
3. Calluses and Corns: Thickened areas of skin due to friction or pressure, requiring gentle exfoliation and hydration.

Foot Care Products and Techniques

• Foot Scrubs: Use gentle exfoliating scrubs to remove dead skin cells and smooth rough patches.
• Moisturising Creams: Choose rich foot creams with hydrating ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil, or urea to soften dry heels and nourish the skin.
• Foot Masks: Treat your feet to occasional masks that provide deep hydration and revitalization, leaving them feeling refreshed and pampered.
• Nail Care: Trim nails regularly and use a nourishing cuticle oil to promote healthy nail growth and prevent ingrown toenails.

1. Cleanse: Wash your feet daily with warm water and a mild soap to remove dirt and sweat. Pat dry gently, especially between the toes.
2. Exfoliate: Use a foot scrub once or twice a week to slough off dead skin cells and prevent buildup.
3. Moisturise: Apply a generous amount of foot cream or lotion to keep skin soft and prevent dryness, paying extra attention to heels and soles.
4. Massage: Treat your feet to a relaxing massage using a foot cream or oil to improve circulation and relieve tension.

• How often should I exfoliate my feet? Exfoliate your feet 1-2 times per week to maintain smooth skin and prevent rough patches.
• Can I use the same moisturiser on my feet as I do on my body? While some body lotions may work, foot-specific creams are often richer and formulated to tackle thicker skin on the feet.
