Why Does Hard Skin Keep Building Up on Your Feet? 👣

Hard skin buildup on feet, known as hyperkeratosis, develops as a gentle, natural response to consistent pressure and friction. This protective layer thickens over time to shield underlying tissues.

The causes include:

• Friction and pressure from ill-fitting shoes, walking, and standing.
• Weight-bearing areas like heels and balls of feet are particularly susceptible to callus formation.
• Dry skin conditions may exacerbate this issue by compromising skin flexibility.
• Foot shapes and gait patterns can further increase the likelihood of thick skin patches.
• As we age, changes in skin elasticity and oil production can contribute to drier, harder foot skin.

Choosing the Right Ingredients for Relief 🌿

To effectively address hard skin, specific ingredients in foot creams can support gentle exfoliation and provide moisture:

• Urea (10-40%): This ingredient can softly break down hard skin while retaining moisture.
• Alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic acid may dissolve dead skin cells to enhance texture.
• Salicylic acid: This beta hydroxy acid penetrates deeply, gently exfoliating and reducing callus thickness.
• Moisturizing agents like shea butter, glycerin, and ceramides restore the skin barrier and prevent water loss.
• Creme consistency and pH levels are crucial; products should be rich enough yet balanced to avoid irritation.
