Why this worksFoot care is crucial as the weather changes. Regular exfoliation and moisturisation prevent dryness and cracking, while hydration keeps skin supple. This routine focuses on maintaining softness and comfort as you transition into warmer months.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Soak Your Feet Start by soaking your feet in warm water for about 10-15 minutes. This helps to soften the skin and makes it easier to remove dead skin cells.
  2. Exfoliate Use a foot scrub or a pumice stone to gently exfoliate the heels and soles. This removes rough patches and leaves your feet feeling smooth.
  3. Moisturise Apply a rich foot cream or lotion while your feet are still damp. This locks in moisture and keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day.
  4. Wear Socks Overnight For extra moisture, apply a thicker layer of cream and wear cotton socks overnight. This helps the product absorb better and keeps your feet soft.

Where people go wrong

One common mistake is skipping the exfoliation step, leading to rough, dry skin. Also, not moisturising after soaking can leave feet vulnerable to dryness. Finally, avoid using harsh scrubs that can irritate sensitive skin.

The pro moveTry using a foot mask once a week for an extra boost of hydration.
