Показать описание
In any weather – summer, winter, rain you can cover most of your skin, but usually your feet suffer. Standing for long periods of time, walking barefoot, wearing ill-fitting shoes or even using harsh soaps can cause your heels to become dry and develop cracks. These cracks can bleed, be painful and may even increase your risk of infections. Fortunately, taking care of dry and cracked heels is pretty easy. If these cracks are not caused due to any medical condition, then some easy home remedies can improve the skin texture and quality of your heels.

Here are three things you can do to get soft and smooth heels:

1. Soaking in warm water and exfoliating

The easiest and most effective way to deal with cracked heels is to soak them in warm water. Dip your feet in the water for 10-20 minutes. Gently rub a pumice stone or loofah on your heels to remove the dead skin. Pat dry. Apply petroleum jelly or a thick layer of moisturiser. This will help soften the skin so it is easy to remove all the dead skin.

2. Honey and aloe vera

Honey has excellent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties and aloe vera is good for hydrating skin. Mix equal amounts of aloe vera and honey in a clean and dry bowl. wash your feet properly with soap and water. Apply a thick layer of the mixture on the affected area. Leave it for about five minutes. Wash with normal temperature water. Apply a cream or oil to lock the moisture in.

3. Coconut oil

Coconut oil, especially virgin coconut oil is excellent anti-inflammatory. It softens the skin, improves the skin barrier and helps heal wounds and cuts quickly.

Wash your feet with room temperature water before going to bed and then pat them dry gently.

Take some coconut oil in between your palms and gently massage it over the affected area. The oil will keep on being absorbed as you massage it.

Or you can also just apply a thick layer of melted coconut oil on your entire feet.

Then wear a pair of cotton socks. You don’t need to wash the oil off.
