Causes

Cracked heels may be a result of ignorance towards hygiene, wearing the wrong shoes or simply dehydration. It’s not only embarrassing to have cracked heels but pretty painful too.

It’s advisable to start treating those cracked heels before they get worse and cause problems. Here are some tips that are essential to treat your heels.

Rice and Honey Foot Scrub

Rice flour is a great exfoliator that rejuvenates the skin. This is the reason it’s found in most skin care products. The natural antiseptic property of honey makes it able to heal the cracks. Vinegar is an acid that gets rid of dead cells and dead skin, exfoliating the skin surface.

Usage

What you need is 4tsp. of rice flour, 2 tsp. honey and a few drops of vinegar. Mix all these ingredients in a bowl to form a paste.

During a warm bath when the feet are soft, scrub gently with this paste to get rid of dead skin.

Banana Scrub

Banana is a natural skin hydrator. It nourishes the skin with vitamins A, C and B6; which also improve the elasticity of the skin surface and make it smooth. So if you are too lazy to purchase skin care products, go ahead and use bananas.

Usage

All you need to do is mash a banana. Make sure they are ripe for a soft mixture. Rub this on the cracked heels and keep it on for 15 minutes. Wash your feet with water. Try doing this every night before going to bed to get best results.

Soak in Some Honey

Being a natural humectant, honey moisturizes the skin by pulling out water from the inner layers to the outer layers of the skin. This soothes the cracks and makes the heels plump.

Because of these moisturizing properties, honey is found as a natural ingredient in many skin care products.

Usage

All you need is a tub of warm water and a cup of honey. Add the honey to the water and soak your feet in it for 15 minutes max. Exfoliate the cracked heel area with a pumice stone. When you are done apply some moisturizer to your heels.

You can do this before you sleep or before every bath.

Vegetable Oil

Vegetable oils are packed with vitamin A and E. Both these are essential for creating new skin cells. Vegetable oil gets absorbed into the skin quickly, thus smoothing out the cracked heels.

All you need to do is wash your feet thoroughly. Rub some vegetable oil on the cracked heels and cover your feet with socks. Leave it overnight.

Try incorporating this in your bed time routine for visible results.

Aloe Vera

This is the best skin moisturizer found in most organic skin care products. It is rich in vitamins A, C and E which have powerful antioxidant properties.
