The feet are possibly the most neglected part of the body. Despite our reliance on them, we rarely spare a thought for them, and all the daily care they get may just be a wash in the shower. As a result, corns, calluses and dry or cracked heels develop. Here are...

To soften your feet, moisturise them nightly just before bedtime so that they have the entire night to absorb all of the moisturiser's nutrients. You can also put on a pair of socks to really lock in the nourishment.Areas where hard skin has been left to develop over time, also known as corns, become apparent when the specific area is under pressure or in friction with your shoes.

To get rid of them, massage your feet and focus on the affected areas. Apply a pinch and roll technique on the skin for a few seconds every night to encourage blood flow back to the area. Don't buff the thick skin away with a pumice stone - all that added friction is only going to worsen the problem in the long run.When you are elevated on heels, the weight of your body becomes largely concentrated on the balls of your feet.

According to Mr Bastien Gonzalez, podiatrist to the stars and founder of the Bastien Gonzalez Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio at The St. Regis Singapore,"high heels tighten and shorten your Achilles, which can lead to ankle and knee problems". He advises"putting the sole of your foot against the wall, keeping your heel on the floor and leaning forward to stretch your calves".

Mr Jeremy Jeune, studio manager of Bastien Gonzalez Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio, said these socks might be beneficial for those with very thick, dry and hard skin on their soles, but the skin on the top of the feet are rarely in the same condition. In order for them to have the power to slough off dead skin in that manner, they could be overly harsh on healthy skin.
