Foot care for soft, comfortable, healthy feet

Our feet carry us through thousands of steps every day, often squeezed into shoes, yet they are frequently the most neglected part of our routine. The skin on the soles has no oil glands, so it is prone to dryness, hard skin and cracked heels. This collection includes foot creams, scrubs, files, treatments, deodorising sprays and blister care to keep feet soft and comfortable.

A simple weekly foot care routine

1. Soak your feet in warm water for ten minutes to soften the skin.
2. Gently remove hard skin with a foot file or scrub. Do not over-file.
3. Dry thoroughly, especially between the toes.
4. Massage in a rich foot cream, focusing on the heels.
5. For an intensive treatment, wear cotton socks overnight.

Ingredients to look for

Urea is one of the most effective ingredients for hard, cracked skin, as it both moisturises and softens. Shea butter and plant oils nourish, while salicylic and lactic acid help smooth rough areas. For tired feet, cooling ingredients like menthol and peppermint feel refreshing after a long day.

Fresh feet

Foot deodorants, powders and sprays help keep feet and shoes fresh, especially in summer or during sport. Changing socks daily and letting shoes air out also helps.

Frequently asked questions

How do I treat cracked heels?

Use a urea-based foot cream daily and file gently once a week. Deep, painful cracks, or foot problems if you have diabetes, should be checked by a doctor or podiatrist.

Can I use hand cream on my feet?

You can, but foot creams are usually richer and more effective for thick, dry skin.
