Dry and damaged feet

Opting for a serum rather than a cream means that the active ingredients are absorbed more quickly and more deeply. Serums are more concentrated and offer targeted action to nourish, repair and protect the skin. They are particularly effective for dry, damaged feet, providing intensive care without a greasy feel.

The skin on the feet is naturally drier than the rest of the body because it has fewer sebaceous glands. Several factors can worsen this dryness:

• Environmental factors: Cold, heat, dry air, or humidity can dry out the skin.
• Improper hygiene: Using harsh soaps or taking overly hot baths can damage the skin's barrier.
• Wearing inappropriate footwear: Tight or poorly ventilated shoes can lead to sweating and dehydration.
• Health issues: Certain conditions, such as diabetes or circulatory disorders, can cause dry skin.
• Aging: Over time, the skin loses its elasticity and natural moisture.

Establishing a regular foot care routine can help restore moisture and softness to your feet:

• Gentle cleansing: Wash your feet with a mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes.
• Exfoliation: Use a pumice stone or a gentle foot file to remove dead skin cells and calluses.
• Moisturizing: Apply a foot cream or balm specifically formulated for dry feet, preferably in the evening, to allow it to work overnight.
• Protection: Wear cotton socks to help retain moisture and prevent friction.
• Targeted care: In case of cracks or fissures, use appropriate healing or repairing products.

At PODERM, we offer a range of natural and effective foot serums designed to meet the needs of dry feet. The unique formulation is based on three key pillars:

• 100% concentrated with high-quality natural active ingredients
• 0% water – helps prevent skin conditions
• Protects and restores the skin barrier for 24 hours
  
  For dry feet, we recommend the Very Dry Feet Serum, specifically formulated for people with very dry skin that can harden and thicken.

• Moisturize your feet daily, even if they show no signs of dryness.
• Avoid very hot baths and limit the use of harsh soaps.
• Wear comfortable, well-ventilated shoes to reduce excessive sweating.
• Change your socks regularly, especially after physical activity.
• Consult a healthcare professional if problems persist or complications arise.

The best products for dry feet are those that combine naturally nourishing and repairing ingredients.

Poderm foot serums, for example, contain shea butter for its strong moisturizing power, apricot kernel oil for its richness in essential fatty acids, and calophyllum oil, known for its regenerative properties.

This combination helps soften the skin, repair damaged areas, and prevent cracks, while providing comfort and softness to dry feet.

It is recommended to moisturize your feet at least once a day, preferably in the evening, to allow the active ingredients to absorb overnight.

Body creams are not always suitable for the thick skin on the feet. It is better to use products specifically formulated for feet, such as Poderm® foot serums, whose unique formulation is based on three pillars:

• 100% concentrated active ingredients
• 0% water – prevents skin conditions
• Protects and restores the skin barrier for 24 hours.
