Care for cracked feet with calluses

Summer is the perfect time to go barefoot! Who doesn't want beautiful feet with firm, healthy skin? Even feet with cracks or excessive calluses can be beautiful again with the right care. Get ready to enjoy summer worry-free.

What causes cracked feet and excessive calluses?
Calluses act as a defense mechanism against constant pressure and friction. The skin responds by thickening, forming hyperkeratosis, which can be of two types:

• Retentional , caused by little shedding of dead cells.
• Proliferative , due to increased cell division at the base of the epidermis.

When there is pressure on the sole of the foot, hyperkeratosis can form, which, over time, leads to painful cracks and loss of elasticity. Furthermore, hyperkeratosis increases the risk of fungal infections and, if left untreated, can become inflamed.

What is the best way to care for your feet?

• Eliminate hyperkeratosis in moderation: Overly careful handling can worsen the situation, as the skin responds by increasing callus formation. It's important to be gentle, avoiding injury.
• Use specific products: Creams and keratolytic treatments with ingredients such as urea (more than 15%) and salicylic acid help reduce calluses.
• Exfoliate regularly: The fine particles mechanically remove dead cells, keeping feet soft.
• Hydrate and restore moisture: Applying moisturizing creams, foams or ampoules with ingredients such as urea, hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil or evening primrose oil helps prevent cracks and keep the skin in good condition.

How to achieve soft and beautiful feet?

• Professional callus removal: A specialist can safely remove calluses.
• Daily use of care products: Consistent application helps prevent the reappearance of cracks and calluses.
• Pressure protection: Gel, felt, or foam pads can reduce friction and pressure, especially in sensitive areas. It is essential that these pads fit well and are compatible with appropriate footwear.
