Dry Beach Feet? These 8 Balms Will Revive Your Summer Pedicure

Now that the long Fourth of July weekend has passed, all that seaside romping has likely claimed a victim: your feet, sore and dried from hours in the sand and surf. Now is the ideal time to indulge in a restorative foot treatment with hydrating balms designed to rehab and refresh neglected skin.

Kenzoki’s white whipped massage balm comes in a petal-pink disc, packed with rice plant water and lipid-restoring cupuaçu butter to nourish your tired toes, while Captain Blankenship’s blue-bottled version uses organic oils, extracts, and butters—avocado, calendula, cocoa—to gently replenish. Others rely on the refreshing kick of peppermint oil: From Santa Maria Novella’s cult camphor cream and Susanne Kaufmann’s Cooling lavender and beeswax blend to Burt’s Bees and C.O. Bigelow’s coconut- and aloe-based concoctions, the chilling sensation doubles that soothing power.

And for feet that seem beyond repair, there’s still hope: Margaret Dabbs’s lemon myrtle and emu oil, dropped into a bowl of warm water, is a softening presoak, best followed by Kiehl’s rich emollient cream, slathered on and covered with cotton socks to be left on overnight. Good as new.
