Winter Foot Care: Top Foot Scrubs for Soft, Glowing Feet All Season Long

While winter brings many seasonal joys, one common phenomenon many complain about is cracked heels and dry skin on the feet. With low humidity and closed shoes, our feet are often the body part that suffers the most. The secret to soft, glowing feet in winter is foot scrubs. These remove all dead cells and leave your feet feeling fresh. Foot scrubs also boost blood circulation and allow creams and oils to absorb better.

Here’s a curated list of top winter foot scrubs that work well for Indian skin and winter conditions. These are easy to use, effective, and also perfect as a weekly self-care ritual.

Top Foot Scrubs for Soft, Moisturised Feet in Winter

We recommend trying these foot scrubs, in winter.

1. The Body Shop: Peppermint Foot Treatment

This foot scrub contains peppermint oil and pumice granules that cool, refresh and smooth tired winter feet. The texture is slightly gritty, making it great for stubborn heel dryness.

Bonus: the refreshing scent, which is common for many Body Shop products, is an instant mood uplifter.

This scrub is perfect for very dry feet, too. Priced at INR 1116. 

2. DIY foot scrub

Sometimes the best scrub is one that you quickly put together at home. Not all self-care rituals have to come with a hefty price tag. Making and using a homemade foot scrub is sometimes equally effective.

Here’s one way to do it:

• Add 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
• A few drops of olive oil
• Add a pinch of turmeric or honey for extra nourishment

3. Mcaffeine Coffee Scrub

This scrub is good for deep exfoliation, even though it may not be targeted to feet. The body scrub is revered, and it works well for feet, too.

It smells like coffee and leaves skin feeling soft. Made of coffee, coconut oil and walnut particles, this one nourishes dry feet well. Priced at INR 449. 

One product that gets a special mention, for being a cult favourite, and also living up to all the hype, is the Be Bodywise 20% Urea Foot Roll On. Perfect for cracked heels, this smells good and does an excellent job at moisturising dry feet. It’s a potent combination of urea and lactic acid, and we recommend following up any of the above scrubs with this moisturiser.

For any scrub to work effectively, follow these steps:

• Soak feet in warm water for 10 minutes
• Massage on the scrub gently
• Focus on heels and dry patches
• Rinse, pat dry and apply a thick foot cream
• Wear cotton socks overnight for softer feet
