Dry feet: tips & tricks to find soft feet
Unsightly and sometimes painful, dry and cracked feet, locked in stuffy shoes, prevent you from sporting pretty and soft feet every day. It is therefore not surprising to have damaged feet! To avoid ending up with cracked heels, it is essential to moisturize them daily and take the utmost care of them. In this article, we will give you some advice and help you find pretty feet.
The most fragile and sensitive area of the foot, the heel, in constant support, suffers the effects of skin dryness more quickly. To protect against these external attacks, calluses, corns and other calluses form all around the heel, called in dermatology jargon: hyperkeratosis. If these are not treated quickly, they then cause the appearance of superficial cracks and then crevices which are much more painful.
Although visually unsightly, hyperkeratosis can be treated quickly. All you need is a little diligence and patience to overcome corns and other unsightly roughness. To do this, follow our few tips and your feet will be soft and smooth!
The relaxing homemade foot bath: first of all, the first step to take care of your feet is to start with a foot bath which will, with the help of heat, soften the calluses. To do this, simply fill a basin with hot water and add a few drops of peppermint essential oil known for its refreshing and calming properties. Let your feet soak for about twenty minutes and dry them properly. The skin of the feet once softened can be exfoliated.
Exfoliation: an essential step in a beauty routine, exfoliation, to be carried out once a week, is essential to eliminate dead skin and allow moisturizers to fully penetrate the skin. Thanks to the pumice stone, your feet regain the softness of baby skin. This treatment gently exfoliates the dead cells formed in the heels, toes and arch of the foot. The little extra: when you exfoliate your feet, it is advisable to perform a massage with energetic circular movements to eliminate all dead skin.
Moisturizing care: for very soft feet, there is nothing like the moisturizing cream that you apply after bathing and exfoliation. With the olive oil or cuticle oil of hydration, your feet will thank you for sure! Coat your feet with a thick layer of coconut oil that you can melt beforehand and finish by putting on cotton socks before going to sleep. We promise you very soft skin when you wake up!
