Cracked heels or fissure heels are an extremely
common skin condition and ironically very few
people are worried about them, unless they are
painful. This is probably because we assume
that no one is going to check our heels.
Cracked heels are not only caused by negligence
but these may occur as a result of over
exposure to dry environment or deteriorated
generalized body health. What so ever is the
cause, only a little care on daily basis can
give you soft and supple heels that will
enhance your beauty. Here are a few tips and
remedies to treat cracked heels fast and
effectively.
Remove the Dead Skin
The first step is to remove the dead skin; this
could be done in multiple ways. You can use
pumice stone or a foot scrub. Rub it vigorously
against the feet to exfoliate any dead skin and
make them smooth. You can get a wide range of
commercially available foot scrubs; however an
easy and cheap solution is to use a home made
foot scrub. Two easy recipes are;
Take some ordinary table salt and add few drops
of any oil. Use this to scrub your feet.
Another option is to use crushed strawberries.
Just add some oil (any massage oil will work)
and massage this mixture over fissured skin.
Now leave it for 10-15 minutes than rinse well.
Moisturize them generously
The most important part of foot care is to
moisturize them regularly. There is a long list
of natural products that work really
magnificently when applied diligently and
consistently.
Any hydrogenated oil can work wonderfully. Just
apply twice a day.
Paraffin wax can be melted and used to fill the
cracks, just leave for an hour or two and it
will heal even the worst cracked skin after a
few applications. You can also add small amount
of any massage oil to make it easily
applicable.
Another well known home remedy for cracked
heels is a mixture of rose water with glycerin.
However, it works only for mild cases.
Shea butter has been used as a natural
treatment for dry skin and cracked heels in
different parts of the world for a very long
time. It can work even for severely damaged
feet.
