6 Foot Softening Treatments To Try At Home
The Butter: Le Mini Macaron "Butter Me Up!" Shea Foot Butter, £9.59
Best For: Intense Moisturisation
Enriched with shea butter, this intensely creamy formula aims to repair extremely dry and cracked feet. The sumptuous, thick formulation nourishes skin to reveal smooth, softer feet in just a matter of uses.

If seriously smooth results aren't enough of a reason to invest, the subtly sweet scent is also a real treat.

The Mask: Skimono Beauty Foot Mask for Total Conditioning, £5
Best For: Damaged, Dry & Flaky Skin
You only need 30 minutes to let this foot mask work its magic. This naturally derived, sock-like sheet mask is deeply saturated with skin-enriching ingredients, designed to smooth and rebuild cracks with moisturising ingredients like shea butter and olive oil. Tea tree extract also plays a part, working with chamomile to deliver antibacterial benefits and keep feet looking, feeling and smelling fresh. Once the mask is on, your feet will feel an instant cooling sensation, as it works to replenish dryness and aid soreness. Made from something called a ‘biosynthetic’ material, it also allows skin to breathe while the ingredients get to work.

Perfect for those with sensitive skin (there’s zero scrubbing required) or those looking for a quick and easy way to exfoliate dead skin cells, simply slip the socks onto your feet and use the adhesive strap to secure them in place. You can then slip your own socks over the top for a more comfortable fit and to give you freedom to move around while the socks exfoliate.

The Tool: Nails Inc, Tootsie Tamer, £10
Best For: Filing Away Dead Skin
For a slightly more intense smoothing treatment, use this tool for real-time results. The Tootsie Tamer easily files away rough skin on the soles of your feet thanks to an ergonomic design. Use a foot soak first and follow up with the tool to buff away dead skin, using forward and backward movements, applying more pressure to thicker, harder skin. Finish with a foot wash and watch dead, flaky skin melt away.
