Foot Treatment Guide

Common Foot Problems

Foot problems can range from minor irritations to serious conditions. Some common foot issues include:

• Dry, Cracked Heels: Dry skin can cause cracks, leading to pain and infection. Regular moisturizing is essential.
• Corns and Calluses: These thickened skin areas result from friction and pressure. They can cause discomfort if not treated.
• Athlete’s Foot: A fungal infection that causes itching, redness, and peeling. It thrives in warm, moist environments.
• Bunions: Bony bumps that form on the joint at the base of your big toe. They can cause pain and swelling.
• Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot. It causes heel pain, especially in the morning.

Daily Foot Care Routine

A consistent foot care routine keeps your feet healthy and prevents problems. Follow these steps for daily foot care:

1. Cleansing: Wash your feet daily with warm water and a gentle soap. Avoid hot water, which can dry out your skin. Dry your feet thoroughly, especially between the toes.
2. Moisturizing: Apply a rich, hydrating moisturizer to your feet every day. Focus on dry areas like heels and soles.
3. Nail Care: Trim your toenails regularly to prevent ingrown nails. Cut them straight across and avoid rounding the corners. Use a nail file to smooth rough edges.
4. Footwear: Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes that provide support. Avoid tight shoes that can cause blisters and bunions. Choose breathable materials to reduce moisture and prevent fungal infections.

Treatment & Remedies

Nobody likes dry skin especially when it gets itchy and rough, or painful when its cracked. Here are ways to treat them at home.

Exfoliate

The key to having healthy skin is removing the dead skin. Dead skin cells naturally fall off, and new cells take their place. But they don’t always flake off as they should. Exfoliation helps remove the build-up of dead skin cells otherwise they can form thick, flaky patches on the feet.

Our foot scrubs remove dead skin cells and smooths rough areas. they contain natural exfoliants like fine sugar and pumice powders.

Product Recommendations:

File or Pumice

For rough areas on the soles of the feet, use a foot file or pumice stone after bathing or soaking your feet.

This routine is very effective at keeping callouses from building up on the soles.  For dry skin on the tops of the feet and the legs, try a loofah sponge or exfoliating skin product.

Foot Soak

4. Moisturize More Often

Moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize again especially before your head hits the pillow.   This is the only way to reduce existing dry skin and prevent new dry skin from accumulating. Our foot moisturizers hydrates and nourishes dry skin. They contains natural ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil.

Moisturizing the feet after using an exfoliator or a pumice stone will help the skin lock in moisture.

It is best to avoid lotions, creams, and moisturizers that contain alcohol, or synthetic ingredients that worsen dry skin. Instead look for ingredients that contain:

• Humectants (draws moisture to skin) aloe, lactic acid, glycerin, or honey.
• Emollients (adds moisture to skin) plant-based oils and butters.
• Occlusive (Prevents moisture loss) plant-based waxes.

Dry feet are not a cause for concern and can be treated at home.  However, people who have severely dry skin or bleeding cracks on their feet might want to consider contacting a specialist foot doctor, podiatrist, or another healthcare professional to discuss possible treatment options.  Contact your doctor if you notice redness, warmth, swelling, or pus coming from the cracks in the skin.
