A Simple At-Home Routine for Soft, Healthy Feet

With soaring summer temperatures, the skin loses more moisture, leaving the heels especially vulnerable to dryness and cracks. What may start as a minor issue can quickly turn into painful fissures and even infections if neglected. That’s why foot care should be an essential part of your daily beauty and wellness routine.

Common Causes of Dry Feet

Lack of daily hydration and skipping nourishing creams after washing.

Walking barefoot on rough or hot surfaces.

Insufficient water intake, which directly affects skin softness.

Natural aging, as the skin gradually loses elasticity.

Daily Foot Care Routine

Morning: Wash your feet thoroughly, dry well, and apply a light, fast-absorbing moisturizer.

Evening: Wash with lukewarm water, apply a rich cream (with urea, petroleum jelly, or shea butter), then wear cotton socks overnight to lock in hydration.

Weekly Care (Twice a Week)

1. Soothing Foot Bath: Soak feet in warm water with coarse salt or a splash of vinegar for 10 minutes to soften the skin.

2. Gentle Exfoliation: Use a pumice stone or a natural scrub (sugar mixed with olive oil and a few drops of lemon) to buff away dead skin.

3. Hydrating Mask: Apply a mixture of honey and olive oil for 20 minutes, rinse, then follow with a nourishing cream and cotton socks.
