Why does it feel and look like you\u2019ve been living in a desert no matter how much moisturizer you put on your feet?<\/p>\n

It is understandable that maintaining soft and smooth feet can be difficult because the skin on the feet has less oil glands to keep them hydrated. If you have dry, cracked, hard heels, that goes double.<\/p>\n

Dry, cracked feet and heels can be caused by a variety of factors, including cold, dry weather, standing for extended periods of time, walking a lot, wearing shoes that are too tight, and using harsh detergents.<\/p>\n

However, so may skin disorders including psoriasis, eczema, and athlete\u2019s foot. Dry, cracked foot skin can also result from changes in the feet brought on by diabetes.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A pumice stone or foot scrub<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Dry, dead skin is removed via exfoliation, exposing smoother, softer skin beneath. When the skin is soft, you can exfoliate with a pumice stone or an over-the-counter foot scrub, ideally after taking a warm water bath, shower, or foot soak (add a little Epsom salt for good measure). Avoid using too much force while using a pumice stone. When you\u2019re finished, apply a moisturizing moisturizer.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If you have open wounds or sores on your feet, avoid exfoliating them.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. A foot file or rasp<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      A foot file is a device that mechanically exfoliates the skin. It has a handle and an abrasive metal surface. There are foot files that resemble cheese graters. Generally speaking, these should only be used on calloused heels, if at all, as they may be extremely harsh on the foot.<\/p>\n

      Similar to pumice stones, foot files work best on relaxed skin following a bath, shower, or foot soak. Another choice, particularly for removing tough, dead skin from the heels, is an electric foot file with a rotating head. Although certain waterproof types can be used in the shower, these are usually worn on your dry feet.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Foot cream or heel balm<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Don\u2019t use lotion if your feet are really dry. Compared to creams and ointments, lotions are less hydrating and contain a lot of water. Think about purchasing a balm or cream made especially for heels or feet. Usually thicker, these can include exfoliating and softening agents such urea, lactic acid, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, or alpha hydroxy acid. Cracked heels can be avoided with regular use.<\/p>\n

        Wear cotton socks at night to seal in the moisture and maintain clean bedding, and apply a thick coating of petroleum jelly, foot lotion, or heavy moisturizing cream to your feet.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Moisturizing gel socks or heel socks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Moisturizing foot socks, also known as heel sleeves or foot socks, are available online and can provide the benefits of moisturizer plus cotton socks without the mess. Their lining is made with moisturizing gel. Wear them when you sleep or for a few hours each day.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Foot peel masks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The newest thing on the internet is foot peel masks. After an hour of use, these bootie-shaped sheet masks are thrown away. Large chunks of dead skin will start to peel off in a week or more, exposing baby-soft skin underneath.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Liquid bandage<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Consider using a liquid bandage\u2014which is actually a spray rather than a bandage\u2014if your heels have deep fractures. By sealing fissures, these solutions reduce pain when walking and keep bacteria and dirt out of the area.<\/p>\n

              Consult a podiatrist or dermatologist if these DIY remedies for dry, cracked foot skin aren\u2019t helping. The specialist can assess your foot, identify any underlying medical issues, and create a successful treatment strategy.<\/p>\n

              ADVISORY: If you have diabetes, stay away from home cures until you consult your physician about your dry foot skin. Consult your primary care physician or a dermatologist if you think you could have athlete\u2019s foot. In addition to dryness on the bottoms or sides of your feet and cracking of the skin, symptoms of athlete\u2019s foot include itching, burning, stinging, and flaking between the toes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
