Dry and rough heels: why do feet need special care?

Dry, rough and thickened foot skin is a very common concern. It is especially noticeable on the heels, where the skin can become hard, lose its smoothness and sometimes start to crack.

In summer, feet are more exposed to open shoes and walking barefoot. In winter, closed shoes, dry air and changes in temperature can affect the skin. However, because of the specific structure and daily load of foot skin, dryness and thickening can develop throughout the year.

For this type of skin, an ordinary body cream is sometimes not enough. Foot care products therefore use ingredients that help moisturise intensively and soften thickened skin. One of the best-known ingredients for this purpose is urea.

UREA20 FOOT CREAM combines urea with shea and cocoa butter, avocado, almond and coconut oils, glycerin, vitamin E and bisabolol.

Why does heel skin become so dry and rough?

Foot skin has to withstand a significant amount of daily stress. When walking and standing, certain areas of the foot are exposed to constant pressure and friction.

In response to this mechanical stress, the outer layer of the skin can become thicker. This is especially common on the heels and the front part of the foot.

When the skin also lacks moisture and lipids, thickened skin loses elasticity, becomes rough and may start to crack.

Foot care therefore has two important aims: to help soften thickened skin and restore its comfort.

Urea: one of the most valuable ingredients for dry feet

Urea is also naturally present in the skin's natural moisturising factor. In cosmetics, it is highly valued for its ability to attract and retain moisture.

Foot care products containing urea are especially suitable for dry and rough skin because they help make the thickened outer layer softer and more flexible.

With regular foot care, the skin gradually becomes smoother and more pleasant to the touch.

This is why urea is so often used in specialised foot and heel care products.

Why is moisturising alone not enough?

Very dry foot skin needs not only water but also lipids.

Lipids help soften the skin's surface and reduce moisture loss. For this reason, the urea in GUSTO foot cream is combined with a rich blend of butters and plant oils.

Shea butter and cocoa butter form the nourishing base of the cream. They help soften rough skin and maintain its comfort.

This combination of moisturising and lipid-rich ingredients is especially suitable for the heels, where skin is often considerably thicker and drier than in other areas of the body.

Avocado, almond and coconut oils for softer skin

The formula contains several plant oils.

Avocado oil is rich in fatty acids and helps soften dry skin. Sweet almond oil provides gentle skin-conditioning care, while coconut oil adds to the cream's softening properties.

Together with shea and cocoa butter, these oils form a lipid-rich complex that is especially suitable for the daily care of dry and rough foot skin.

Bisabolol for comfort

Another interesting ingredient in GUSTO foot cream is bisabolol.

It is widely used in cosmetics, particularly in products intended for skin that is sensitive or prone to discomfort.

In this foot cream, bisabolol complements the intensely moisturising and softening formula and helps care for the skin's comfort.

Do rough feet always need filing?

When the heels become rough, the first solution is often a foot file or pumice stone.

Gentle mechanical treatment of thickened areas can be part of foot care, but it is not advisable to try to remove as much skin as possible in one session. Filing too aggressively can cause unnecessary irritation.

Regular care is much more important.

When a suitable foot cream is used every day, thickened skin becomes softer and more flexible, and the need for intensive mechanical treatment may decrease.

Foot cream is not only a summer product

We often start thinking about our feet in spring, when sandal season approaches. However, the best results come from regular care throughout the year.

In autumn and winter, feet spend long periods in socks and closed shoes. In summer, they are more exposed to friction and the environment.

That is why foot cream is worth treating not as a seasonal beauty product, but as a regular part of body care.

A simple evening ritual for smoother feet

Foot care does not have to be complicated.

After washing, apply the cream to clean, dry foot skin, paying special attention to the heels and other rough areas. Regular use is much more important than applying a very large amount at one time.

It is especially easy to make foot care part of your evening routine, just like applying face cream.

UREA20 FOOT CREAM combines urea with cocoa and shea butter, almond, coconut and avocado oils, glycerin, vitamin E and bisabolol.
