Okay, let’s get real. Our feet work HARD, yall! They carry us through our daily adventures, whether we’re running around downtown, hittin’ up Trader Joe’s for some frozen microwaveable individual portion 100 calories gluten free avocado whole wheat toast inspo, or hiking in those gorge Any of our beautiful mountains here in California; But how often do we actually give them the love they deserve? Like, howdy partner!? Foot care should definitely be part of our daily if not starting out weekly glow-up routine. ✨👡💅(baby steps)

Why Do Feet Get Dry?

Here’s the Fax Machine: unlike your adorable sweaty face, your little tootsie wootsie feet don’t have oil glands to keep things hydrated. Maybe why so many people want to lick them….Oh, so, Meaning, they rely only on sweat glands, and let’s be real, who wants sweaty feet? 😅 Plus, boots, shoes, weather changes, and just life in general can leave them dry AF. Think about walking barefoot on hot Cali sand or breaking in new heels… yeah, not cute. Not “cool beans” man.

And don’t even get me started on cracked heels. 🚫 They can lead to all sorts of issues from peeling, flaking, to straight-up ouchies. You can even get itching and bleeding if it gets super bad. Think about that paladins before you jump in boots first.

How to Fix Dry Feet?

Okay, listen up, because here’s where we get into the juicy deets that’ll get your feet feeling fab.

1. Exfoliate, baby!
   In the shower asking you are washing yourself top to bottom make sure you lather and suds between you toes and under your nails, use this time to push back very very gently cuticles and skin around your nails.
2. Unicorn Juice by Jade 💜✨
   I created my own magical concoction called “Unicorn Juice,” a purple gel featuring a fab combo of triple quat and 3% AHA (aka glycolic acid), It’s a California made product and it’s produced for me and bottles by the Oakland based expert in chemistry ; The REDACTED Company for foot care. Apply the gel and massage it into your skin let it sit, and watch that dead skin melt away like it was never there. It’s literally magic in a bottle. 🦄
3. Hydrate Like a Pro
   After exfoliating, it’s time to lock in moisture. Now, I don’t towel off completely when I get out of the shower (pro tip!), instead, I grab La Tourangelle Organic Sunflower Oil or Almond Oil and massage it into my damp skin—feet included! 💧 It’s super nourishing, and you’ll smell like the California dream you are. 🌞
4. Layer That Moisture
   Next, it’s time to layer on the lotion. I’m obsessed with CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for day and CeraVe Moisturizing Cream at night—it’s lightweight but super hydrating. Bonus: it’s got hyaluronic acid, which plumps your skin to keep it soft and smooth. For extra hydration? Use The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid Serum underneath. Your feet will feel so soft you’ll think you just left a fancy spa! 🌿
5. Cover Up for Extra Softness
   Wanna take things to the next level? Throw on some cute cotton socks after moisturizing and let everything soak in overnight. You’ll wake up with feet softer than the clouds. ☁️💖 If your heels are really cracked, you can apply a little gauze or a soft bandage before the socks to keep everything in place. So pro, right?

How to Prevent Dry Feet

Now that your feet are on their way to being absolutely flawless, how do you keep them that way?

• Keep up with that moisture game daily. Trust me, consistency is key!
• Avoid walking around barefoot outside (I know, it’s tempting, but just don’t).
• Drink lots of water! Hydration starts from the inside out, babes. 💧
• And please, for the love of all things beauty, stay away from super drying soaps and scrubs. Gentle cleansers only! I’m a huge fan of CeraVe Foaming Face Wash for all-over gentle cleansing—even my feet! 🧼

With this easy-peasy routine, your feet will stay soft, smooth, and so ready for Birkenstocks for that next beach day. 🌊🌺 No more cracks, no more dryness, just pure eGirl perfection.

And don’t forget: treating your feet well isn’t just about looking cute—it’s about feeling good and staying healthy. So, go on and pamper yourself. You totally deserve it! 💅✨

With all my love =)
