Why this worksWarm weather can lead to dry skin and cracked heels, especially with more exposure to sun and elements. Regular care helps keep the skin hydrated and prevents discomfort. By focusing on exfoliation, moisturisation, and protection, you can keep your feet looking and feeling great all summer long.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Regularly Use a foot scrub or a pumice stone to slough off dead skin. Focus on areas prone to dryness, like heels and the balls of your feet. Aim for 1-2 times a week to keep skin soft without overdoing it.
  2. Moisturise Daily Apply a rich foot cream or lotion after your shower or bath. Look for products with ingredients like shea butter or cocoa butter to lock in moisture. Don't forget to massage it in, especially on the dry spots.
  3. Protect Your Feet Always wear sandals with good support, especially if you’ll be walking a lot. This helps prevent blisters and discomfort while keeping your feet safe from the elements. Choose breathable materials to reduce sweating.
  4. Keep Nails Trimmed Regularly trim and file your toenails to prevent ingrown nails and discomfort. Keep them short and straight across to avoid snagging on your footwear. A good nail clipper and file are essential tools.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliating, which can lead to thick, dry skin. Others forget to moisturise daily, leaving feet prone to cracking. Wearing ill-fitting sandals can also cause blisters and discomfort, so choose wisely.

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