Very dry, rough feet – it usually starts with a feeling of tightness, which corresponds to the stage of slightly dry skin. When the skin begins to flake and itch , it is already dry skin. If there is a persistent imbalance in the skin’s sebum and moisture levels, it loses its elasticity and resilience. At first, this is often perceived merely as a cosmetic problem. However, this can lead to cracks in the skin, which can serve as an entry point for germs, bacteria, and fungi. In the stage of very dry skin, deep, painful fissures (cracks/rhagades) may then appear, particularly in the heel area.
If the skin becomes unbalanced, there can be many different causes. Generally speaking, the feet are particularly prone to dryness compared to the rest of the body. This is because the soles of the feet have numerous sweat glands but no sebaceous glands. Due to this tendency towards dryness, proper foot care is very important. External factors such as dry indoor air, showering or bathing too frequently or in water that is too hot, or frequent contact with chlorinated water and disinfectants can dry out the skin. Internal factors, such as a lack of hydration due to insufficient fluid intake, a general tendency towards dry skin, advanced age or certain medical conditions (such as diabetes) can also contribute to dry skin on the feet.
To restore balance to very dry skin and maintain its elasticity, it is important when choosing a skincare product that the active ingredients it contains support the skin’s own natural processes. The components of plant-based oils, for example, are very similar to the skin’s own lipids, which is why the skin can easily absorb and process these substances. Oils based on mineral oils have a sealing effect and, in contrast, cannot be metabolised by the body. Genuine, certified natural cosmetics can be identified, for example, by the NATRUE seal on the packaging.
