As a 44-year-old man with dry, crackly feet (common in Thailand’s humidity swings and dust), you need a urea or glycerin-based foot cream to draw in moisture, plus barrier protectors like ceramides or shea butter to seal and heal fissures.

Go for fragrance-free, non-greasy formulas. Start with 5–10% urea if sensitive. Apply nightly after a 5-min warm water soak + gentle pumice, then wear cotton socks. Patch-test first.
