Arabia Professional Super moisture
A product of a domestic cosmetics company, the principle of which is the use of organic natural ingredients. The cream is intended to eliminate corns, contains urea, salicylic acid, glycerin, allantoin, coconut oil, avocado and sunflower extracts.
The product is a viscous thick substance with a menthol smell. Available in plastic bottles with a dispenser. The components of the cream provide a comprehensive result:
- urea loosens and exfoliates the keratinized layers of the epidermis;
- allantoin, glycerin and oils moisturize, deodorize and smooth the skin;
- menthol pleasantly cools the feet.
Due to the high density and presence of fats, the product is absorbed rather slowly. It is recommended to apply it in the evenings, after steaming your feet. After use, it is recommended to wear cotton socks. One package of cream lasts for several months.
A comprehensive approach to hydration
In order to forget about rough feet and heels, you need to know the important steps to care for them. Try to adhere to these points and dryness will no longer cause discomfort.
- Foot baths .
Baths are a great way to steam the skin, relieve tension and speed up blood circulation. To maintain the effect, it is enough to carry out the procedure 1-2 times a week for 20 minutes. But do not use too hot water - 35-40 degrees is the most optimal temperature for a bath; Masks and baths against dry feet and heels - Exfoliation .
Immediately after the bath, also 1-2 times a week, exfoliate dead cells. Removing keratinization will help creams work to saturate the healthy epidermis, and not to soak the already dead one. To exfoliate, use your usual method - mechanical, for example with a pumice stone or scrub, or chemical - with the help of peelings and keratolytics. In the latter case, be sure to study the instructions - some drugs cannot be used more than once a month due to the aggressiveness of the composition; All types of foot scrubs, how to use, review of products and recipes - Moisturizing and nutrition .
Lubricate your feet with cream daily, or better yet, 2 times a day - morning and evening. Use proven effective means. Types of foot care creams

Editors' Choice: 11 Great Foot Coolers
Salts, masks, gels, foot creams in the color of bubble gum and with the aroma of lavender, rosemary and mint. The editors of BeautyHack are talking about the best products for those who danced all night or spent the working day in heels.
Mint Sparkling Foot Cream, Skinfood
Tested by BeautyHack project manager Anastasia Lyagushkina
After a long day, the legs are tired and burning, so the only desire is to dip them in a bowl of ice. A more humane way is to use this cream from Skinfood. The brand, famous for its unusual, working compositions, is on top this time too! The main components of the cream are three (!) types of mint extract, lime juice, macadamia oil, shea butter, lemon and grapefruit seeds, and rosemary leaves. For the skin, this is both invigorating cooling and hyper-hydration. I massage this product in the evenings after a shower, and in the morning my feet are as soft as a baby's. And the cream, by the way, recently appeared in our house and is already testing the strength of my body.
Price: 695 rub.
Refreshing after-sun gel Sublime Sun “Protection and Moisturizing” –3°С, L'Oréal
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova.
I liked the product - it is absorbed very quickly, without leaving a sticky feeling on the skin. In general, the gel can be applied to the entire body after sunbathing, especially if you have overdone it with sunbathing (more about other summer body products here). But he also solves local problems with an A plus! Castor oil and camellia leaf extract are responsible for moisturizing, while aloe kills germs and heals minor wounds.
I apply it to my feet if I’m tired and instantly feel cool (the gel lowers the skin temperature by three degrees). But there is no wild cold - it’s as if a pleasant breeze is blowing on your feet on the beach.
Price: 570 rub.
Foot salt Marine Mineral Bath, CND
Tested by Beautyhack special correspondent Daria Mironova
Creative Nail Design (or CND), a nail giant and the largest American company. It was here that shellac was invented and several types of acrylic for modeling nails were produced. In addition, the company produces a huge series of nail and skin care products and experiments with ingredients in every possible way. For example, this contains Dead Sea salt, eucalyptus oil, rice bran, tea tree and vitamin E.
By the way, you might have seen this salt in beauty salons - it is used during pedicures to soften the skin and disinfect it. Consumption – one teaspoon per “bath”. I use the product after the work week, when I need super relaxation before the weekend.
Price: 2700 rub.
Natural cream-gel for feet “Ayurvedic SPA pedicure”, Organic Shop
Tested by Beautyhack special correspondent Daria Mironova.
The consistency of the product is something between a cream and a gel (it doesn’t leak out of the tube, but it doesn’t resemble a pharmacy ointment either). Covers immediately after application: cooling, relaxing and at the same time caring! If you have very dry skin, you need additional help, for example, after a vacation at sea, I used a special oil in addition to the cream. But in a normal situation, this remedy will be more than enough. Contains mint, wormwood and jatamansi oils (a plant from the valerian family) for complete relaxation.
Price: 90 rub.
Foot cream Pink heels, Lush
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
Pink, like bubble gum, with a refreshing scent of peppermint - what more do you need after a hard day? In addition to the invigorating effect, the product also moisturizes the skin with cocoa butter, glycerin, lanolin and almond oil. Lush market it as an antifungal agent. I didn’t have a chance to check, but according to promises, the main active ingredient in the fight against fungus is peppermint oil.
This foot cream, unlike many of its “colleagues,” I would call exclusively night cream. Despite the almost liquid consistency, it is absorbed in at least 15 minutes - this is not an express product. Even in the morning there may be cream residue on the skin. But it moisturizes perfectly!
Price: 1300 rub.
Foot cream SA Foot Relief, Aveda
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
I fell in love with one of the most famous products of the American brand from the first use. Firstly, it can be applied in the morning - the texture is light, so the cream is quickly absorbed, and the cooling effect is great invigorating. It smells like rosemary and lavender at the same time.
There are many reviews on the Internet that this particular cream solved the problem of rough skin - this is absolutely true. After two or three uses, I noticed how the skin of my legs became completely smooth and my feet soft. This is how castor oil and jojoba oil work.
Price: 1,080 rub.
Classic foot cream with mint and eucalyptus, Dermosil
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anya Khobotova
Dermosil is a Finnish family brand founded in 1988. The company has a huge range of products - more than 400 skin and hair care products. I gave the foot cream to my mother: she is on her feet all day (and sometimes in heels at the same time). Mint and eucalyptus in the composition improve blood circulation - swelling and fatigue at the end of the day go away. She also noticed that with regular use (she rubs the cream in with massage movements), she can get rid of small calluses. It’s convenient that the brand has released a miniature version of the cream with a volume of 30 ml (versus the classic 200 ml) - we take it with us on trips.
Price: 540 rub. (200 ml)
SA Renewing foot cream, Cerave
Tested by BeautyHack editor Yulia Kozoliy
CeraVe is a pleasant surprise for those who do not have high hopes for budget cosmetics. The history of the brand began in 2006 with three products, now the line has expanded to 70. Their basis is a complex of ceramides that restore dry, cracked skin and strengthen the protective barrier.
A special feature of the foot cream (and almost all CeraVe products) is the MVE technology: moisturizing components are gradually absorbed into the skin, that is, the cream works all the time. The product has a very thick consistency, it is greasy, so you literally need a drop, otherwise you will have to distribute it over your shins, knees, etc. I apply the cream at night, in the morning the skin is soft and there is no sticky feeling. The cream is great to use after a fresh pedicure - your feet will be fine until your next visit to the pedicure!
Price: 615 rub.
Cooling gel to relieve fatigue and heaviness Dr.Stern Pharm
Tested by BeautyHack editor Yulia Kozoliy
I rarely wear shoes with heels, I’d be lying if I said that every time I flutter on them with a radiant smile. Especially when in one day you need to get to five different places, be cheerful, easy and keep your back. Therefore, when I take off my shoes in the evening or during a lunch break, I always use the cooling gel from Dr. Stern Pharm. Its main function is to relieve swelling and remove heaviness. The gel is well absorbed and does not leave a sticky layer (a plus if you use it in the middle of the day). The main component of the gel - troxerutin (you, of course, have heard of the pharmaceutical ointment of the same name) - is responsible for reducing heaviness in the legs and improving microcirculation. And the skin is cooled by menthol and mint oil in the composition.
Price: 354 rub.
Cream mask for feet, Lundenilona
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anya Khobotova
The Russian brand Lundenilona is seven years old. The brand began with one product - an elixir for hair and skin, now its products solve many more problems, and its geography has expanded to the CIS countries.
The foot cream mask contains vitamins B3, B6, E, which heal microcracks; squalane, panthenol and beeswax moisturize the skin. I use the mask immediately after showering. I apply a thick layer to my feet and put on warm socks for 30-40 minutes - there is no need to wash off the cream. This ritual once every two weeks gets rid of cracks and dryness. I will have high hopes for him in the fall and winter.
Price: 950 rub.
Freshness gel for feet, Clean Line
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anya Khobotova.
I don’t have severe swelling, so I have a simple approach to choosing products for my feet: the main thing is hyper-hydration (which even a budget product can provide).
The gel from Clean Line has a light, even airy consistency - it is applied quickly and absorbed instantly. Your skin will be softer afterwards and your feet will feel rested, no matter whether you danced all night or ran in heels for 8 hours straight. Price: 139 rub.
EVO laboratoires with urea
Another domestic product with complex action. The cream effectively softens the stratum corneum and facilitates its removal. With regular use, it gets rid of neglected corns. Thanks to the presence of coconut, olive oils, oak extract and sage, it nourishes, prevents dehydration and prevents infection of microcracks.
The cream can be used daily, it is hypoallergenic, quickly distributed and absorbed into the skin, does not leave a greasy residue and does not stain clothes.
Causes and consequences of dry feet
Dry feet are not only a discomfort, but also a cause of cracks.
To avoid having to treat skin breaks later, make sure that the following factors do not affect your legs:
- Open shoes . When the foot is not protected from external influences, it takes on dust and the rays of the sun;
- Standing work . Your feet get the most stress when you have to stand all day. As a result of standing for a long time, blood circulation is impaired, which results in a problem in the form of dryness;
- Wrong shoes . Shoes should be selected to fit, and also made from natural materials so that the feet can “breathe”;
- Clinical conditions . Sometimes dry feet are caused by medical conditions. Diabetes mellitus, deficiency or excess of vitamins, anemia - these diseases provoke increased dryness;
- Love for water procedures . Long water procedures - taking a shower or bath - often cause dryness, although immediately after the bath the skin seems soft and nourished.
Consequences of constant dry feet:
- First of all, it does not look aesthetically pleasing . Peeling heels cause discomfort in their owner and a desire to hide her feet from prying eyes;
- Cracks . One of the consequences of dry heels is the formation of cracks, which appear only on the skin that has lost moisture and elasticity.
Vegetable Beauty
An Italian brand created on the basis of environmentally friendly ingredients. The cosmetic moisturizer is based on sesame extracts, jojoba oil, shea butter, and avocado. The cream has a slightly whipped mousse texture and does not contain mineral components, parabens, or artificial flavors.
Large tubes with a volume of 200 ml allow you to use the care for several months. The product quickly spreads over the skin, creating an enveloping effect. Can be used to prevent cracks and massage feet.
Gehwol Med Deodorant Foot Cream
A product from a German cosmetics company for comprehensive care. Contains zinc oxide and plant extracts. It has a pronounced antifungal, antibacterial and regenerating effect, moisturizes the epidermis, prevents the appearance of unpleasant odors, is suitable for sensitive and thin skin of the feet, as well as for those prone to allergic manifestations.
The cream is produced in 75 ml tubes. Due to its heavy, dense consistency, it is absorbed for a long time, recommended for evening care. The disadvantage of this product is its relatively high cost.
