If cracks are deep, painful, or bleeding, consult a podiatrist or dermatologist. They can safely remove calluses and prescribe medical-grade treatments.
A lightweight, broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ is essential. It protects against UV rays, the primary cause of collagen breakdown and photoaging, without feeling heavy.
For most skin types, using a sonic cleansing brush 3-5 times per week is sufficient. Overuse can compromise the skin's natural barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and increased inflammation—all of which can accelerate aging.
Wear protective clothing (scarves, hats) outdoors and apply a barrier cream or balm to exposed areas like the face and hands.
