Uncomfy high heels, tight shoes, rough sidewalks—raise your hand if your feet have been through a lot. As amazing as my tiny wide feet are for taking me places, surprisingly, they’re the part I neglect to take care of the most. But I saw the error in my ways and started experimenting with different types of scrubs, moisturizers, and tools. And through that, I discovered all the best products for foot care which will keep them looking smooth and soft all year round.

Baby Foot Peel
Remember those videos of people’s feet peeling like a snake? Yup, that’s because of the Baby Foot Peel! Cosmo reviewed it back in 2017 and I still agree with everything it said. This product is a classic for a reason. It’s a foot serum-mask combo that’s full of Citric Acid, Orange Oil, and Grapefruit Peel Oil to help feet gently peel off dead skin cells and hard calluses. In terms of peeling action, you can expect it to appear a day after.

Moisturizers
As gratifying as scrubs and exfoliants are on the skin, you can’t use them every day otherwise you might compromise your skin barrier. Luckily, you can still keep your feet feeling like baby skin by regularly moisturizing them. When it comes to foot moisturizers, though, you don’t have to buy a separate one. I found the best feet moisturizers were the ones I was already using—aka my regular face moisturizer and an all-around salve.

MadeCera SkinRX Lab Cream
I love this one from MadeCera because it’s thick, but not like your skin will feel suffocated, and a little goes a long way so you won’t have to use too much! The best part is it has Ceramide for barrier repair (Yes, even the feet need barrier care!) and Madecassoside to heal and soothe inflammation.

Lucas Papaw Ointment
A cult-fave once spotted in the handbags of celebs like Julia Barretto and Jasmine Curtis! Lucas Papaw never disappoints. It’s a multi-purpose salve that can heal minor cuts and burns and moisturize dry areas, thanks to petroleum jelly and its main ingredient, Fermented Papaya.

This comes in three sizes so it can cover a variety of feet. Its sturdy handle ensures you get a good grip while removing flaky calluses and dead skin cells anywhere on your feet. Tip: Make sure you wash the foot file after using it so its scrubbing properties aren’t dulled down.
