Why this worksSpring weather can dry out your skin, especially on your feet, where calluses can build up. A moisturising routine helps maintain hydration and softness, preparing your feet for sandals and open shoes. Regular exfoliation and hydration can also prevent cracking and roughness.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Soak Your Feet Start by soaking your feet in warm, soapy water for about 10-15 minutes. This helps soften the skin and makes it easier to exfoliate. Add Epsom salt for an extra soothing touch.
  2. Exfoliate Gently Use a foot scrub or a pumice stone to gently exfoliate any rough patches. Focus on areas like the heels and balls of your feet. Remember to go gently to avoid irritation.
  3. Moisturise Generously After drying your feet, apply a rich foot cream or lotion. Massage it in well, paying special attention to the heels and any dry spots. For best results, do this before bed and wear socks overnight.
  4. Maintain Regular Care Make this routine part of your weekly self-care. Consistency is key to keeping your feet looking and feeling their best throughout spring and beyond.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the exfoliation step, which can lead to build-up and dryness. Others may apply moisturiser without soaking first, which reduces absorption. Don’t forget to be gentle with your feet to avoid irritation.

The pro moveTry using a foot mask for an intensive moisture boost once a month.
