Here’s a condensed plan for when you have time over the weekend:
Saturday evening
Soak feet 15 minutes in warm water + 1 tbsp Epsom salt + a splash of vinegar.
After soak, gently use a pumice stone on heel/ball of feet.
Rinse & pat dry.
Apply a thick foot cream with urea/lactic acid. Slather generously.
Put on cotton socks. Chill out for 30 minutes, then put on regular socks for bed.
Sunday morning
Keep wearing comfortable shoes/slippers with good support.
During day, change to cushioned insoles if possible, avoid barefoot on hard surfaces.
Sunday night: repeat moisturiser + socks — even if you skip the soak/exfoliate.
Then continue nightly moisturiser every day until you see improvement (softening, fewer cracks, less discomfort), then shift to maintenance: you might exfoliate weekly, moisturise nightly.
