If you\u00a0<strong>notice that your heels have become rough, it\u2019s probably time to give them some extra love and care<\/strong>. If home remedies such as removing dead skin, peeling, and the use of moisturizers are no longer effective, it may be high time to visit a beauty salon or a podologist.<\/p>\n<p>Having cracked heels definitely shouldn\u2019t be underestimated. Cracked skin is an easy target for bacteria and viruses. From there, it\u2019s a short road to infections and inflammation.\u00a0<strong>If you\u2019re in a situation where you\u2019re taking proper care of your feet and yet you\u2019re still dealing with cracked heels, you shouldn\u2019t wait any longer and book a consultation with a specialist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33778\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02120437\/heels1.jpg\" alt=\"What leads to dry and cracked heels\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02120437\/heels1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02120437\/heels1-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-does-the-skin-on-your-heels-crack\"><\/span>Why does the skin on your heels crack?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cracked skin on the heels is not only an embarrassing issue, at times it can mean health problems.

You should always take into account the sheer multitude of factors that can affect the condition of your skin.<\/p>\n<p>So what contributes to the problem of dry and cracked heels, and more importantly how to deal with an already existing issue? We recommend starting with visiting your nearest podiatry clinic. There, during a detailed interview and examination, you can find out what may be the reason for your problem. A podiatrist can help you start a proper treatment that will soothe your skin and restore its health.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33782\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02120505\/heels3.jpg\" alt=\"Are there magical treatments? \" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02120505\/heels3.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02120505\/heels3-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"treatments-for-dry-and-cracked-heels\"><\/span>Treatments for dry and cracked heels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"at-a-beauty-salon\"><\/span><span id=\"at-a-beauty-salon\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>At a beauty salon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When dry heels are accompanied by an excessively calloused epidermis (hard skin around the heels), it\u2019s worth considering a therapeutic pedicure. During this treatment, you will get rid of unnecessary dead skin and gain skin elasticity. This will also allow your skin to absorb the active ingredients contained in the moisturizing products you use.<\/p>\n<p>Another treatment you can consider is a paraffin wax treatment. This type of skincare is both safe and effective. The temperature of the paraffin wax allows for better penetration of active ingredients into the epidermis. It also improves microcirculation, which means better nourishment of the skin from within the body.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"at-home\"><\/span><span id=\"at-home\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>At home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First, we need to underline that home remedies may not be enough in case of severely cracked skin. They can be an additional form of therapy, but visiting a specialist first is highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of home treatments, doing them regularly is key. Basically, you\u2019ll want to take a look at your day-to-day habits, what socks and shoes you wear, and what your moisturizing regimen contains.
