7 Best Foot Treatments For Dry Feet And Cracked Heels
Sandal ready feet
Nothing is unsexier than dry cracked heels and for someone who’s suffered dry feet all my life, I promise you, I’ve tried everything! Believe it or not, but dry feet can be caused by a number of things, natural elements, hot water, the wrong footwear and not using any products at all. For some, less than supple feet can even be painful – hello, callus.
If you’re anything like me and dread the summer sandal season, here are some of our favourite foot creams and treatments along with a few tips to try for sandal-ready feet.
exfoliate
First things first, you need to exfoliate. Crusty heels and thick calluses can be because some of us don’t shed keratin as quickly as others. Use a heel file or a pumice stone in the shower, however, my favourite would have to be an intense foot peel. Satisfaction doesn’t even come close to the feeling you get when you use one of these masks, heard of Milky Foot?
Intense Exfoliating Foot Mask
Milky Foot
Price: $29.95
The original and intense exfoliation treatment by Milky Foot will leave your feet looking and feeling brand new. Thanks to AHAs, BHAs and soothing herbal extracts Milky Foot will remove hardened skin and soften your calluses with just one treatment.
It works by allowing the old skin to peel away revealing soft skin underneath and so you’re left with silky soft feet, without having to scrub or scrape your skin.
Available at Chemist Warehouse for $29.95
Exfoliating Foot Mask
Dermal Therapy

Nourish and hydrate
Once your feet are exfoliated and smooth as a dolphin, use a nourishing emollient foot cream daily. Try exfoliating with a pumice stone during the shower daily as this will help ensure your calluses don’t come back quickly. There are some creams that exfoliate while moisturising which is perfect for the inherently dry.
