HEAL YOUR CRACKED HEELS
Are you struggling with cracked heels? You're not alone! Many people experience this common foot issue. Understanding the causes and discovering effective remedies can help you maintain smooth and healthy feet all year round. Let’s dive into the causes of cracked heels, prevention tips, and the best solutions to heal and pamper your feet.
WHAT CAUSES CRACKED HEELS?
Cracked heels are often the result of dry skin and can be influenced by various factors:
Dry Skin: The most common cause, dry skin can be due to a variety of reasons including environmental factors.
Prolonged Standing: Standing for long periods, especially on hard floors, can increase pressure on the heels leading to cracks.
Obesity: Carrying extra weight can put more pressure on the feet, causing the skin to crack.
Open-Backed Shoes: Footwear such as sandals or flip-flops can allow the fat under the heel to expand sideways and increase pressure on the skin, leading to cracking.
Skin Conditions: Conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, athlete's foot, and other skin-related conditions can cause dry, cracked skin.
Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can lead to dry skin and increase the risk of cracked heels.
HOW TO PREVENT CRACKED HEELS?
Preventing cracked heels involves a combination of good foot care habits and lifestyle adjustments. To keep your feet smooth and healthy, moisturize daily using a high-quality foot cream like GEHWOL Soft Feet Cream to lock in moisture and keep your skin soft.
Wear proper footwear that supports your heels, especially if you’re on your feet for long periods. Regularly exfoliate your feet to remove dead skin cells and prevent the build-up of hard, dry skin.
Additionally, using a foot soak can help relax and soften the skin, making it easier to remove calluses and prevent cracks.
