Rough and dry feet are common particularly around the heels and soles. From everyday pressure and friction to open footwear and a lack of moisture, there are several reasons your feet can become dry and hard.
The good news? The right foot care routine can help restore moisture, soften hard skin and keep your feet feeling smoother.
Why do feet become dry?
Unlike most areas of the body the soles of your feet don’t contain sebaceous glands, meaning they don’t produce natural oils to keep the skin moisturised. Add pressure from walking, friction from footwear and exposure from sandals, and it’s easy for feet to become dry and rough.
Regular moisturising is key. Ureka 10% Urea Foot Cream is ideal for everyday care as it helps to moisturise dry skin and maintain softer, smoother feet.
For particularly dry or hardened areas, Ureka 25% Urea Cream offers a more intensive level of care, making it ideal for rough heels and stubborn hard skin.
How can you get rid of hard skin on your feet?
Hard skin is often caused by repeated pressure and friction. Gentle exfoliation can help remove built-up hard skin while moisturising afterwards helps keep feet soft.
For gentle exfoliation, try the Dermatonics Foot Scrub to help smooth away dry skin. For more stubborn areas of hard skin, the Podopro Pediwand Foot File can be used to gently file away build-up.
For dry, cracked heels that need an extra level of care try the Podopro Gel Heel Sleeve. Worn over your moisturising treatment, the gel sleeve helps provide targeted care and protection for dry heels.
For ongoing dry skin care, Dermatonics Dry Skin Cream helps care for dry, rough skin or CCS Foot Pro All In One provides convenient all-round care for feet.

3. Maintain – Once your skin has improved, stop using the 25% Urea Foot Cream and switch to Ureka 10% Urea Foot Cream for daily maintenance. This will help keep your feet moisturised and prevent dryness from returning. Alternatively, use Dermatonics Dry Skin Cream or CCS Foot Pro All In One as part of your daily foot care routine.
