If your feet are looking frightful from running around in flip-flops or sandals (or, if you’re like us, they’re a fright because you prefer to go without shoes whenever possible), fear not—we’ve got some treats to keep your feet looking fab.
Soak. Dr. Hauschka’s Organic Sage Bath is great for bathing, but it also can work wonders as a footbath. Sage essential oil’s natural antibacterial and antifungal qualities make it great for healing cracked skin on your feet and discourages fungal infections (like athlete’s foot, yuck!).
Scrub. We recommend some foot exfoliation after a good soak—try Rain Africa’s Terracotta Foot Scrubber. It’s pretty any useful for removing dry, calloused skin from your feet.
Moisturize. Once your feet are soothed and scrubbed, slap on something to lock in the moisture. Try Weleda Foot Balm, a cooling, easily-absorbed balm with myrrh and biodynamic calendula to soften callouses and strengthen the skin—which means less blisters on your feet!
Pamper. You really can’t over-moisturize your feet, so make it a habit to rub something soothing onto them at the end of every day. We recommend Saaf Organic Foot Softening Balm. The ultimate hydration treat for feet, it’s enriched with cocoa butter, beeswax, olive oil, and vitamin E to help 
soothe and revitalize rough, dry, chapped feet overnight—plus, it provides a protective barrier to help prevent future dryness.

I love Weleda products, but haven’t tried the foot balm yet! It sounds really luxurious…I think that will be in one of my next purchases =)
I’m glad you point out this balm is fast-absorbing- that seems to be a problem with so many foot balms!
How would you characterize the scent of Dr. Hauschka’s Organic Sage Bath? (I’ve never smelled it).
I love the brand story of Rain Africa, so poetic & inspirational- Their website is also fabulous- very tempting line! And one you can feel fantastic about using.
It’s amazing sometimes I can’t get to sleep comfortably without applying a foot balm or cream of some sort, it’s just a very relaxing sense in the evening before bed. I don’t always need to do but somehow once in awhile if I don’t when I need to, it will keep me awake until I realize what’s going on!
Saaf Organic Foot Softening Balm
for me the Weleda foot balm would be a great product to try especially at this time of year when callouses are at their worst….
Walking around barefoot has really done a job on my heels. Thank you for all the information. I will moisturize my feet more regularly. I never knew that about sage being antibacterial and anti fungal. Learn something new every day
I would like, no NEED to do all the steps for my very dry heel!!! I like the Saaf Foot Balm for the “ultimate hydration”. If I can just remember to even put lotion on my poor heel
I’m hoping to try some of these products soon. My feet are SO dry all summer!
