Dry and cracked heels can be a problem for both aesthetic reasons as well as health. This is because if the heels are badly damaged, they can lead to skin infections. Although the condition is most common in older people, it has been increasing popular among younger people.
What causes cracked and dry heels?
In summer, dry, cracked heels can be caused by inappropriate footwear. However, if such heels are present in winter, an unhealthy diet could also be a factor. Lack of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids in your daily diet can lead to skin dehydration over time. This is combined with prolonged sun exposure and prolonged standing that encourages the development of blisters and peeling. Conversely, people who are overweight are more likely to develop cracked and dry heels.
How can we avoid heel damage?
A balanced diet is essential. It is important to drink at least 2 liters of fluids per day. A good foot routine is a must for healthy and beautiful skin. Use strong moisturizing creams and exfoliate your heels at least twice per week. You can use creams based on vitamin E and E, avocado and marigold. It is recommended to massage the soles each night before you go to bed to prevent drying your heels and relax your whole body. We recommend that you put cotton socks on your feet to sleep over night after any treatment to the soles.
How do we effectively exfoliate our heels?
There are many other natural solutions to exfoliate the dead skin on the heels. There are many abrasive creams that have a peeling effect, which can be purchased in pharmacies. However, you can make your own at-home recipe. Coffee grounds, wheat bran and flour can all be used to clean the heels. Before exfoliating, warm water should be used to soak the feet. This will accelerate the process of softening your dermis and allow for subsequent exfoliation.
Natural remedies for cracked and dry heels
This wonderful natural ingredient, honey, has a positive effect on the skin. Its nutrients and moisturizing ability make it a great remedy for sore heels. Honey is also antibacterial and can prevent skin infections. You can soak your feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes with a little honey cup. Next, scrub your feet with any of the natural scrubs mentioned above. Finally, apply honey to the heels and let it work for 10 minutes. A paste made from mashed bananas and avocados can be applied to the soles. This is another recipe that produces extraordinary results. Your skin will appear soft and smooth due to the high levels of vitamins, nutrients, and essential oils in these two fruits. You should still apply the treatment every night for at least one week. Paraffin oil, shea butter, olive, almond, sesame, sesame and sesame vegetable oils are all good options for treating the heels. Vitamin A and E can be added to the above recipes if your heels become dry and have cracks in the dermis. To increase circulation, you should avoid walking barefoot in your home.
