Our heels bear the brunt of our weight with every step we take, all day long. In the event of dryness, it cracks, leading to the appearance of fissures, which are not only unsightly, but can also be painful. That's why it's so important to use a dry foot cream.
Cracks in the heels are more or less deep fissures in the skin caused by daily stress. When we walk, the skin of the heel is subjected to the pressure of each step. To protect itself, it produces keratin and the epidermal layers thicken. If not sufficiently moisturized, the less supple skin cracks under the impact of shocks. Cracks are caused by a combination of dry feet and shoes without stiffeners, which do not support the foot and create additional pressure. The skin cracks, sometimes causing pain.
Lack of moisture is the main cause of cracks and fissures in the heel. So it's a good idea to moisturize and nourish your feet every day with a dry foot cream. Regular use of a scraper will also help keep heels soft and supple.
If the cracks are not too deep, you can use specially designed graters or a pumice stone. These will peel off dead skin from the heel. In terms of skincare, there are a large number of moisturizing, nourishing and repairingcreams that will be indispensable during the treatment phase, if you are focusing solely on hydration. Care products based on vegetable oils (shea butter, olive oil, vegetable glycerine) rich in fatty acids are also very useful.
If the cracks become painful, or if they are really deep and simple treatment is not enough, you should consult a podiatrist. Afterwards, you'll need to look after your feet with moisturizers to help the skin regenerate. As long as the discomfort is only unsightly, a cosmetic foot treatment combined with abrasion with a rasp will suffice.

More unsightly than serious, dry skin on the feet leads to the appearance of calluses (layers of thick, hard skin), which are more common in women than in men. Dry skin on the feet is commonplace. This is because the foot is naturally poor in sebaceous glands, which nourish the skin and prevent dry feet. To avoid cracked or even cracked heels, you need to take care of your feet every day with... the right products! Light creams, ultra-rich balms... there are foot care products to soften and beautify your feet.
Because of its thickness and lack of sebaceous glands, foot skin is particularly vulnerable to dehydration. External factors, such as wearing closed shoes, rubbing or exposure to the cold, accentuate water loss. The result: skin becomes dry, rough and prone to cracking, particularly on the heels.
