Foot care

Foot care is an important part of daily online cosmetics, because feet are exposed every day to pressure, friction, footwear, sweating and strain during walking. For this reason, foot skin can become dry, thickened, rough, cracked or prone to discomfort.

Special attention should be given to the heels, soles and areas under the greatest pressure. Regular foot care can help the skin stay softer, more elastic and more pleasant to the touch, while properly selected products can be useful for dryness, thickened skin and cracked heels.

At ApotekaOnline, we highlight products for dry and thickened foot skin, such as Uriage Keratosane 30 emulsion and Eucerin UreaRepair Plus foot foam with 10% urea. If skin peeling, cracking or marked dryness appears during winter, read the guide How to prevent skin peeling in winter.

Who is foot care for?

• People with dry, rough and thickened foot skin
• Cracked heels and tight skin sensation
• People who stand for long periods, walk a lot or wear closed shoes
• Foot skin prone to flaking, roughness and discomfort
• Regular care of heels, soles and stressed foot areas

How to choose a foot care product?

For thickened, rough and coarse skin, Uriage Keratosane 30 emulsion 30 ml can be a good choice, especially when the skin needs more intensive care and softening of thickened areas.

For dry foot skin and cracked heels, Eucerin UreaRepair Plus foot foam with 10% urea 150 ml can be used. Urea is a common ingredient in products for dry and thickened skin because it helps maintain hydration and a feeling of softness.

Dry feet, cracked heels and winter care

Foot skin can become even drier during winter, heating season, wearing closed shoes or insufficient hydration. Regular use of foot care products, wearing comfortable shoes and avoiding aggressive removal of thickened skin can help feet look better cared for.

Pharmacist’s advice

Apply foot care products regularly, preferably after washing and drying the feet. Pay special attention to heels and thickened areas, but do not apply products to open wounds, deep bleeding cracks or infected skin. People with diabetes, poor circulation, neuropathy, foot wounds or frequent infections should consult a doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist before using intensive foot products.
