The foundation of gorgeous feet is daily moisturizing. Lacking sebaceous glands, feet are prone to extreme dryness. Apply a rich cream to clean skin, massaging into tops, soles, nail contours, and between toes for lasting hydration.
Ideal routine: Every day.

Remove calluses effectively with two approaches: A gentle scrub for light buildup, or scrub plus foot file for stubborn areas. Exfoliate damp skin, targeting rough spots. For filing, soak feet 10 minutes in lukewarm water first, then buff gently to prevent recurrence.
Frequency: Weekly.
