Many men and women suffer from dry feet and calluses on their heels. It looks unkempt - and can even be painful if the dry skin develops into heel cracks and cracked heels. However, with the optimal care products and the right gear, you can quickly get beautiful, well-groomed feet that are worth showing off in sandals.
When it comes to Foot Care, it's important to remember that taking preventative care of your feet is far better than repairing an injury. Therefore, once you've gotten rid of the hard skin, you should continue to care for your feet - otherwise the hard and dry skin will just come back. You need to give your feet the same care and attention as you give the rest of your body. This includes keeping the skin on your feet moisturized - just like you give your face and body daily moisturizing care.
Step by step - Get soft, well-groomed feet in record time:
1. Callus Remover / Foot file
Start by peeling off the hard and dead skin with a Callus Remover. A Callus Remover is equipped with a sharp Razor Blade, making it the most effective way to remove very hard skin. Use it primarily on the heels. Take a little at a time - and only the outer layer.
The Callus Remover's blade is very sharp and should therefore be used with extreme caution. It's better to be a little too careful to avoid injury.
When you're done using the Callus Remover, you can file the skin with a foot file.
If you don't have extremely rough feet, but just dry skin, we recommend you skip the Callus Remover and start with a foot file instead. A foot file is a bit more gentle on the skin, but is still a very effective tool to use in the quest for beautiful, well-groomed feet.
A Callus Remover and foot file can be used on both dry and moist skin. It is most gentle to do it on wet or damp skin.
2. Foot scrub
We have a super delicious foot scrub from LEA in our range. The foot scrub exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and rough skin on the feet. It contains salicylic acid and apricot kernels that exfoliate and remove hard, dry skin.
Don't let the low price fool you - the foot scrub is super effective and will quickly leave your feet feeling soft and nourished.
To be used in the following way:
Use the foot scrub 2-3 times a week either in the foot bath or in the shower. LEA's foot scrub can be used on moisturized skin after a foot bath or on dry skin before showering.
Apply the scrub to the skin in a thin layer and then scrub your feet thoroughly with rubbing movements. Rinse off with water and finish with a good, thorough drying.
3. Foot cream
The skin under your foot often becomes dry, hard and cracked. The most common cause of this condition on feet and heels is lack of moisture. If your skin is dry, it will be less elastic and thus crack faster.
A good foot cream is therefore essential when it comes to Foot Care. In our range you'll find a great foot cream from LEA at a very affordable price. The foot cream helps restore rough, dry and cracked heels. It contains allantoin and glycerin, which have a nourishing and softening effect, and menthol, which cools and refreshes tired feet. It's fast-absorbing, so you avoid that greasy feeling.
To be used in the following way:
Use a foot cream daily, as frequent use prevents the formation of calluses. Massage your feet into the cream and leave it on.
You can apply an extra thick layer if you put it on before bedtime - and wear socks overnight. That way, the cream won't dry off in your bedding.
4. Nail scissors / Nail clippers
Once the skin on your feet has been overhauled, it's time for the final step: the nails. Don't forget about the nails if you want your feet to look neat and well-groomed.
Some people prefer to do their toenails with large nail clippers, while others prefer nail scissors. If you have very thick nails that are difficult to cut, you may want to use nail nippers instead of nail scissors or clippers. Nail clippers cut even the thickest manicured nails with great accuracy and the result looks great.
Whichever tool you prefer, be careful not to cut too far down the sides as you risk getting ingrown nails.
