Applying foot cream

Published on 20 June 2025 at 19:40

 

We recommend regular application of foot cream to maintain healthy skin and prevent common foot issues. Here's why:

 

1. Prevents Dryness and Cracking

The heels and feet dry out quickly, leading to painful cracks that can bleed or become infected without proper moisture.

 

2. Improves Skin Elasticity

Moisturised skin stays supple, reducing damage from friction or pressure.

 

3. Reduces Infection Risk

Cracked skin allows bacteria and fungi to enter. Smooth, intact skin prevents issues like athlete’s foot.

 

4. Supports Diabetes Care

Diabetics are prone to dry skin and poor healing. Daily moisturising helps prevent ulcers and complications.

 

5. Enhances Comfort and Appearance

Softening hard skin and calluses makes feet smoother and more comfortable.

 

🧴 Tips

Use foot-specific creams, preferably with urea for hydration. Avoid applying cream between the toes to prevent fungal infections.
