Cracked skin on the feet
Dehydrated, dry skin on the feet can lead to cracks and fissures. These cracks may appear as “feather-like” lines or can become deeper when associated with callus or hardened skin. Additionally, if the feet remain damp from excessive sweating, the skin can weaken, further contributing to the formation of cracks and fissures.
How to prevent cracks in the skin
Keeping feet exfoliated and hydrated will help prevent cracks in the skin. Use a foot file to reduce hard skin build-up and use a daily foot moisturiser. If you suffer from excessive sweating of the feet, ensure you change your socks and shoes often and keep your feet clean and dry.
How to treat cracked skin
Use our Professional Foot File once or twice a week before you have a bath or shower to reduce both hard and dry skin. For cracks or fissures, apply the Cracked Heel Treatment Balm twice daily. If you experience excessive sweating or hygiene issues, use the Soothing Foot Powder during the day and the Foot Hygiene Cream at night before bed. To maintain soft, silky feet and prevent hard skin buildup, incorporate the Intensive Hydrating Foot Lotion into your daily routine, leaving your feet feeling smooth, illuminated, and light.
