The skin of the feet
tends to dry out and crack easily
, especially in the hottest periods.
One of the reasons, as explained in the Fem Attitude note, is that its tissue is thicker and has fewer sebaceous glands.
In addition, being the points of support, they receive a strong impact and are highly demanding.

Nor should it be neglected that
in summer they are exposed to the sun, sand (on beach days), chlorine from swimming pools and uncomfortable footwear (such as flip flops).
How to treat dry feet
A very simple routine will allow this situation to be reversed.
For this, it is recommended to follow these basic care:
- Use a moisturizer twice a day.
- Exfoliate once a week with a product with microgranules or with a pumice or pumice stone.
- Go once a month to a pedicure or foot beauty session.
- Apply a natural mask with cucumber.
