How you want to look like a beautiful, well-groomed lady with a graceful and flying gait. But it becomes simply impossible if the heels crack. The delicate skin of the feet takes a heavy load at any time of the year. That is why it requires constant care.
It is difficult to imagine a girl with a flying gait when her legs are out of order or pain in the heel is disturbing . How to treat such an ailment and why does this cosmetic defect occur? In fact, there are several reasons and they are all very simple.
- Lack of moisture. Age-related changes in any body are always accompanied by a decrease in the amount of moisture entering the skin. If dry skin became the cause of cracking heels, it is sufficient to regularly use a moisturizing foot cream.
- Vitamin deficiency. Particular attention should be paid to the daily diet. If you follow a variety of diets or lack of necessary vitamins, especially groups A and B, skin cracks cannot be avoided. Try to eat liver, fresh herbs, carrots, and fish more often. Drink more pure still water. If you need to limit yourself in food, be sure to drink vitamin complexes. This will support the body during diets, diseases and heavy loads.
- The presence of diseases associated with metabolic disorders also leads to this skin defect. People with diabetes mellitus, obesity, hormonal disruption, skin diseases and allergic reactions should spend more time taking care of their feet so that their heels do not crack. Include foods rich in vitamins A in your diet and remember to moisturize your skin daily. In this case, forget the unpleasant sensations that appear when the heels crack.
- At risk are also lovers of open sandals and a variety of slaps. Such shoes perfectly save from sweating in hot weather. But it has a big minus for the skin of the legs - an open heel. While walking, the back of such shoes constantly claps on the heel. This leads to microcracks. The dust that gets into them leads to the formation of an inflammatory process. In the summer, you will have to take care of the legs daily. Then any sandals will become your favorite shoe.
- Lack of regular and proper skin care of the legs also leads to cracked heels. Every day, while taking a shower, use a pumice stone to remove dead skin from your feet. The use of nourishing masks and creams, scrubs and oils will have a positive effect on the legs. You can use cosmetics or folk remedies, prepared independently.
With regular care of the legs, it is enough to cleanse the skin with pumice and moisturize the feet with a nourishing cream. But if the cracks are deep enough and the legs are in a state of neglect, then a whole complex of restoration procedures will be required. To get started, do 10 treatments every other day.
Pour into a basin of hot water with a temperature of about 35 degrees and add an emollient to it. It can be soda, starch, or liquid antibacterial soap. Steam the skin for 30 minutes, gently brushing off the softened layers. At the end of cleaning, grease the legs with plenty of burdock, linseed, olive or sunflower oil. Cover with a film on top and put on cotton socks.
It is best to carry out this procedure at night. In the morning, rinse the legs with cool water. Between the procedures, we make masks for fives of mashed potatoes, egg yolk or sour cream with grated cucumber. An excellent healing agent is gruel made from the leaves of a golden mustache or aloe. You can mix it with petroleum jelly or apply as a compress.
Do not forget about tonic foot baths. Pouring your feet alternately with cold and hot water, you improve blood circulation and skin nutrition.
