After the age of 40, the skin undergoes significant changes – it loses elasticity, regenerates more slowly, and tends to become drier. This affects not only the face and hands but also the feet. Cracked heels, calluses, and a feeling of tightness are common issues. At MONLIS Studio Munich, we understand how important targeted foot care is and share our best tips for keeping your skin healthy and well-moisturized.

Why Feet Need Special Care After 40

With age, the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid decreases. The skin on the feet becomes thinner, drier, and less resilient. External factors such as tight shoes, long periods of standing, heated indoor air, or walking barefoot can make the problem worse. Without proper care, this can lead to painful cracks, rough skin, and even inflammation.

Daily Foot Care Routine

At MONLIS Studio, we recommend a simple yet consistent routine:

1. Cleansing – Take a warm foot bath with a mild additive to soften skin and remove impurities.

2. Exfoliation – Use a gentle scrub or pumice stone 1–2 times per week to remove dead skin cells.

3. Deep Moisturizing – Apply creams or lotions containing urea, shea butter, or glycerin for long-lasting hydration.

4. Massage – Gently massage the product into the skin to boost blood circulation.

5. Cotton Socks – Put on thin cotton socks after applying cream to lock in moisture.

Professional Treatments at MONLIS Studio Munich

For very dry or cracked heels, professional treatments can make a huge difference. At MONLIS Studio we offer:

• Medical pedicures to remove calluses and thickened skin

• SPA pedicures with scrubs, nourishing masks, and paraffin baths

• Hydrating masks with hyaluronic acid or aloe vera for lasting softness

Our specialists provide personalized consultations and recommend the best products for your skin type.

Choosing the Right Products

Look for creams and lotions with ingredients such as:

• Urea – binds moisture and softens skin

• Panthenol – soothes and repairs

• Hyaluronic acid – deeply hydrates and plumps the skin

• Shea butter or jojoba oil – restores lipid balance

Avoid heavily perfumed or overly greasy products that may irritate the skin or clog pores.

Home Remedies for Smooth Feet

In addition to professional products, you can also use simple home remedies:

• Honey masks – antibacterial and deeply nourishing

• Olive or coconut oil baths – soften rough skin

• Foot massages with essential oils – relax muscles and improve microcirculation

Prevention Is Key

Wear breathable shoes, change socks daily, and drink plenty of water – hydration from the inside also matters. Consistent care helps prevent cracks, rough patches, and infections, keeping your feet healthy and pain-free.

Regular care is the secret to beautiful, healthy feet. With a combination of professional treatments at MONLIS Studio Munich and a simple daily routine at home, you can prevent dryness, cracks, and calluses – and keep your feet soft, smooth, and beautiful at any age.
