Rough heels with cracks are the trouble of many people. Feet look unkempt, feet hurt and cause discomfort while walking. Similar problems arise most often in people of mature age, among lovers of open and clapping shoes without backs. One of the reasons can also be incorrectly chosen shoes - too tight or having an uncomfortable shoe. Proper foot care will help both soften the skin on the heels and get rid of discomfort, and return them to a healthy and attractive appearance.
Wet way
The procedure should begin with the removal of the dead insensitive layer of the skin. There are two ways to do this - dry and wet. For wet we take a container with hot water, add sea salt and baking soda there, which will help both soften the skin on the heels and relieve fatigue. They will eliminate minor inflammation, accelerate the healing of corns. We well steal the feet for about 15 minutes and proceed to cleaning. Perfectly removes the stratum corneum of pumice leather, special grinding files or metal grater brushes. They should carefully treat the entire surface of the foot, areas with old skin, corns need special removal. Do not rub with great force, with steamed legs it is easy to damage the more delicate layers of the epidermis that are under the old. If the situation is very running, it is better to repeat the procedure after a few days, but still try to remove the entire gray-white layer, if this does not cause discomfort to you. When the heels are thoroughly cleaned, rinse them with cool water and wipe dry. Now the feet are ready to apply the cream. It is better to use special products designed specifically for this part of the body. Such creams have a thicker, denser consistency and are able to both soften the skin on the heels and deodorize it. Their menthol and eucalyptus will give a feeling of coolness and lightness, reduce sweating, and urea will accelerate wound healing.
Dry way
The second, less well-known, but no less effective way to soften the skin on the heels. For this you need a regular grinding file for pedicure. Neither pumice, nor graters will give the desired result, only this tool. The foot should be dry, and the file slightly moistened with water and begin to process the leg. If the procedure does not take place in the bathroom, then something should be placed under the foot, since in a few seconds the spools of dead skin will begin to crumble to the floor. Again - we act without fanaticism, as necessary, the tool needs to be moistened. Then, as in the first embodiment, rinse and apply the cream.
Soft and pink heels - it's easy
Regular cleansing of the dead layers will help both soften the skin of the feet, and prevent the formation of dry rough calluses, the appearance of cracks. However, just cleansing will not be enough. It is still important to nourish and moisturize it constantly. How to soften the skin of the feet? Firstly - creams, secondly - masks, for a snack - vitamins. Cream for dry skin is required to be applied daily, best at night. Masks - 1 time in 7-10 days. For masks, special cosmetic preparations, as well as regular oil, fat sour cream, wax-based balms and even bee honey are suitable. The selected product must be applied with a thick layer to the foot, wrapped in cellophane, insulated and securely fixed, for example, wearing woolen socks with tight elastic. It is best to leave the mask overnight and rinse off in the morning. Sometimes all procedures aimed at how to soften the skin on the heels do not give the expected effect. In this case, the cause of increased dryness of the skin may be a lack of vitamins, water or fat in the diet. Review your regular diet or take a course of vitamins A and E, a multivitamin complex with trace elements.
