2. Moisturize for Softness
Maintaining soft, flexible skin and avoiding dryness and cracking depend on your feet being kept hydrated. After your daily cleaning regimen, treat your feet with a premium lotion or foot cream. Pay special attention to dry-prone areas including balls of your feet and heels. Look for moisturisers that are great for moisturising and nouraging the skin such urea, glycerin, or shea butter. Applying the moisturiser when your feet are still somewhat damp can help to lock in the moisture for optimal benefits. If your heels are really dry or cracked, think about applying a heavier, petroleum-based lotion at night and don cotton socks to let the moisturiser get into deep penetration while you sleep. Recall that moisturising your feet depends mostly on consistency. Like giving your hands or face some moisture, make it a regular habit. For those with diabetes or circulation problems, moisturising becomes more important as these disorders can cause dry, cracked skin more prone to infections. If you have diabetes, however, always discuss any new foot care program with your doctor. Not only will your feet look and feel beautiful if you maintain them well-moisturized, but you also help guard them from any skin breakdowns that can cause more major foot issues.
