Over time, the skin on your feet can become hard and thick and create unsightly layers on your heels and toes. This can be especially problematic when summer rolls around and you begin wearing sandals or open-toed and open-heeled footwear. Although a pedicure can make quick work of calluses and ugly skin, an at-home exfoliating cream can also help, reports Oprah Winfrey's "O" magazine.
Barielle Rejuvenating Foot Treatment
Barielle's foot cream was ranked as the best foot cream by "InStyle" magazine's beauty editors. They loved its heavy-duty texture that's rich in emollients to soften and hydrate your feet. The manufacturer adds alpha hydroxy acids, which work as chemical exfoliants to slough off dead skin and exfoliate your feet. Dr. Bradford Katchen, a dermatologist reviewing the foot cream for the magazine, also liked its herbal extracts like lemon oil.
Philosophy Soul Owner
Philosophy's exfoliating foot cream is designed to target hard, cracked skin on your feet. As emollients like fatty acids soften your skin, salicylic acid and glycolic acid, forms of beta hydroxy and alpha hydroxy acids, respectively, penetrate your skin cells to loosen them and help get rid of flakes. Additional beneficial ingredients include eucalyptus oil.
Kerasal One Step Exfoliating Moisturizer Therapy
Sheril Bailey, a celebrity manicurist writing for "InStyle" magazine, ranked Kerasal's exfoliating foot treatment as the best on the market. The product itself is very simple. A heavy emollient base made of white petrolatum and glycerin create a moisture-rich seal around your cracked, dry feet to hydrate them. Meanwhile, urea and salicylic acid help dissolve dead skin for softer results.
