It’s summertime, and you’re feeling great. You are wearing sandals and soaking up the sun in your favorite pair of shorts. But then, one day, after getting out of the shower and drying off, you notice dry skin on your feet that won’t go away no matter how many times you moisturize or exfoliate them. You start to wonder what is happening when suddenly it dawns on you- maybe it’s time for a pedicure.
You never really thought about treating yourself to a pedicure before, but now that this problem has popped up, there’s nothing better than getting some new polish put onto those toes while simultaneously removing all of that dry skin from your feet.
How’s your dry skin? If it is awful, you can try these three ways to remove dry skin from your feet.
- Make a paste of water and sandalwood powder, apply it on the feet for 10 minutes and then scrub.
- Apply aloe vera gel on foot for 10 minutes.
- Apply honey with lemon juice mixture on the feet for 20 minutes before washing off with cold water.
Exfoliate your feet to remove dead skin cells
Many people think that foot care is a simple task, but it involves removing dead skin cells to keep your feet looking and feeling fresh. One way to do this is by exfoliating with a pumice stone or pedi egg. This will remove the dry patches of skin on your heels, which can cause pain and cracking. The best time to exfoliate is after you shower when the pores are open due to warm water and soap being applied for about 10 minutes before scrubbing gently in circular motions with the pumice stone or pedi egg. You want to be careful not to scrub too hard because doing so could irritate the skin, leading to redness, bleeding, itching, or swelling and make calluses worse.
Use a moisturizer that is made for dry skin of feet
Do you suffer from dry skin on your feet? It’s a problem that many women have. There are a few ways to combat this issue, but one of the best methods is using a moisturizer for dry skin made specifically for feet. You can find these in most drug stores, and they come in different forms, including lotion, gel, or spray.
We all know that not washing your feet regularly can lead to dry skin. How about adding a little moisturizer? That is the beauty of using a moisturizer made for dry skin on your feet! It will keep those pesky cracks at bay without having to use a lotion that might be too heavy for your delicate foot skin.
