Why Your Feet Get Dry (And How to Fix It!)

Why Your Feet Get Dry (And How to Fix It!)

Dry, cracked feet are more than just a cosmetic issue—they can be uncomfortable, itchy, and even painful. But what causes dry skin on your feet, and how can you keep them soft and hydrated?

Common Causes of Dry Feet:

  • Lack of natural oils on the soles
  • Exposure to harsh weather
  • Walking barefoot or wearing open shoes
  • Hot showers stripping away moisture

How to Fix It:

  • Moisturise with urea-based creams – Urea helps attract and lock in moisture.
  • Exfoliate gently – Remove dead skin to allow for better hydration absorption.
  • Choose the right footwear – Avoid overly tight or open-backed shoes.
  • Hydrate inside and out – Drink plenty of water to support skin health.

Dermatonics foot creams, like our Heel Balm with Manuka Honey, deeply hydrate and soothe even the driest feet. Try it today!
