Dry foot cream becomes an essential when skin is tight, cracked or lacking suppleness. At Soin-et-Nature, you'll find formulas rich in urea, shea butter or royal jelly, designed to intensely nourish, repair cracks and offer real relief on a daily basis.

Which dry foot cream should I buy to prevent cracks?

Heels are under pressure from our weight with every step, all day long, and the skin on the heel is fragile. In the event of dryness, it cracks, leading to the appearance of fissures, which are not only unsightly, but can also be painful. That's why it's so important to use a dry foot cream.

Cracks in the heels are more or less deep fissures in the skin caused by daily stress. When we walk, the skin of the heel is subjected to the pressure of each step. To protect itself, it produces keratin and the epidermal layers thicken. If not sufficiently moisturized, the less supple skin cracks under the impact of shocks. Cracks are caused by a combination of dry feet and shoes without stiffeners, which do not support the foot and create additional pressure. The skin cracks and can sometimes be painful.

Lack of moisture is the main cause of cracks and fissures in the heel. The skin on the feet should therefore be moisturized and nourished every day with a dry foot cream. Regular use of a scraper will also help keep heels soft and supple.

If the cracks are not too deep, you can use specially designed graters or a pumice stone. These will peel off dead skin from the heel. In terms of skincare, there are a large number of moisturizing, nourishing and repairing creams that will be indispensable during the treatment phase, if you are focusing solely on hydration. Care products based on vegetable oils (shea butter, olive oil, vegetable glycerine) rich in fatty acids are also very useful.

If the cracks become painful, or if they are really deep and simple treatment is not enough, you should consult a podiatrist. Afterwards, you'll need to look after your feet with moisturizers to help the skin regenerate. As long as the discomfort is only unsightly, a cosmetic foot treatment combined with abrasion with a rasp will suffice.

More unsightly than serious, dry skin on the feet leads to the appearance of calluses (layers of thick, hard skin), which are more common in women than in men. Dry skin on the feet is commonplace. This is because the foot is naturally poor in sebaceous glands, which nourish the skin and prevent dry feet. To avoid cracked or even cracked heels, you need to take care of your feet every day with... the right products! Light creams, ultra-rich balms... there are foot care products to soften and beautify your feet.

Why order a dry foot cream from a chemist?

Because of its thickness and lack of sebaceous glands, foot skin is particularly vulnerable to dehydration. External factors, such as wearing closed shoes, rubbing or exposure to the cold, accentuate water loss. As a result, the skin becomes dry, rough and prone to cracking, particularly on the heels.

Creams for dry feet meet several specific needs:

Hydration: Restore moisture levels by retaining water in the superficial layers of the epidermis.
Nourishment: Restore lipids to reinforce the skin barrier.
Repair: Repair cracks and prevent their recurrence.
Protection: Create a protective film against external aggressions.

Best dry foot cream: which active ingredients to look for before buying?

Creams for dry feet contain ingredients specifically selected for their moisturizing, nourishing and repairing efficacy.

Urea (5% to 20%): This keratolytic and moisturizing ingredient eliminates dead cells, softens thickened areas and improves water retention.
Shea butter: Rich in essential fatty acids, it intensely nourishes the skin and repairs cracks.
Glycerin: A humectant that draws water into the upper layers of the epidermis, providing long-lasting hydration.
Aloe vera: Soothes and moisturizes, ideal for irritated or sensitive skin.
Lactic acid: Promotes gentle exfoliation and improves skin texture.
Ceramides: Restore the cutaneous barrier by reinforcing essential lipids.
Allantoin: Promotes cell regeneration and soothes irritation.

Which dry foot cream for your needs and budget?

According to level of dryness :

Mild dryness: A moisturizing cream based on glycerine or aloe vera is all you need to maintain daily hydration.
Severe dryness: Formulas enriched with urea (10% to 20%), shea butter and exfoliating acids are more suitable.
Crackedskin: Opt for repair creams containing healing active ingredients, such as allantoin or provitamin B5.

Texture and absorption

For daily application, opt for light, rapidly absorbed textures.
Richer creams are better suited to night-time use, with moisturizing socks to optimize the effect.
