Avoiding Cracked Heels
If we want to avoid cracked heels we provide to our feet every day, all the attention they deserve
.
1- Moisturize your heels every day, especially if you have dry skin.
2- Try not to be too long standing.
3- Avoid overweight because this increases the pressure on the heels and can cause the appearance of cracks.
4- Follow a diet rich in vitamins, minerals and fatty acids (evening primrose oil, borage, sesame, etc.)
5- Maintain good hygiene to prevent the occurrence of infections.
6- Avoiding the use of open shoes in the lower part, because the heel fat expands sideways and cracks may occur.
7- Use a pumice stone after washing to remove dry skin.
