Our feet do the heavy lifting every single day, and yet they’re the part of our body we forget the fastest. Until they start cracking, hurting, or asking for attention in the most dramatic ways.
Here are the five most common foot issues women struggle with — and the simplest, softest ways to take care of them.
1. Cracked Heels: The Big One
Dry weather, open slippers, long days… they all show up on your heels first. Cracks form when the skin gets too dry and loses its ability to stretch.
How to fix: Give your heels a warm soak, gently exfoliate, and apply something rich to seal the moisture. Natural fats like ghee soften the skin beautifully overnight.
2. Dry, Rough Feet: When Your Feet Just Feel “Off”
Sometimes it’s not cracking: just dullness, roughness, and dryness.
How to fix: Moisturise right after showering, choose a thick cream, and if your feet are extra dry, apply a little ghee before bed for deep nourishment.
3. Heel Pain: The Morning Shock
If the first step out of bed hurts, welcome to the club. Heel pain happens due to tight muscles, long hours on your feet, or shoes with poor support
How to fix: Stretch your calves daily, avoid flat shoes, and roll your foot over a cold bottle for quick relief.
4. Hard Skin & Calluses: The Slow Build-Up
Friction + pressure = hard, stubborn skin patches. They’re harmless, but uncomfortable.
How to fix: A weekly soak and gentle scrub works wonders. Follow with a thick, nourishing moisturiser so the skin stays soft instead of building up again.
5. Tired, Achy Feet: The End-of-Day Story
Every woman knows this one. Long days don’t lie, the ache shows up immediately.
How to fix: A warm salt soak, a 2-minute foot massage, and a quick stretch routine relax the muscles and improve blood flow 💛
A Little Nourra Love for Your Feet
Footcare doesn’t need to be complicated. Small daily rituals: moisturising, soaking, stretching: make a world of difference. And if you enjoy natural remedies, a touch of ghee at night fits beautifully into a soft, comforting routine.
Your feet carry you through everything. They deserve a moment of care too ✨
