Buff the dryness

If you need to banish dry skin in an instant, use a good old foot file. We swear by Margaret Dabbs London Professional Foot File, £26, John Lewis & Partners. It comes with replacement pads, so it stays efficiently gritty for as long as possible, giving you more bang for your buck. Always file your feet when they’re totally dry – filing damp or wet skin can cause damage. Focus on your heels and any other dry areas on your feet.
