Brilio.net - Feet are a part of the body that is always active in carrying out various daily activities. Therefore, it is not uncommon for feet to become sore quickly and exposed to various external factors such as sunlight, wind, dust, and pollution. This makes parts such as the heels and soles of the feet susceptible to dryness and cracking.
This condition occurs due to frequent friction on the skin of the feet during activities, which causes dust and sand to stick to the soles and heels. External factors such as hot temperatures and pollution can also make things worse by eroding the protective layer of skin that maintains natural moisture. As a result, the skin of the feet becomes dry and rough, and can even crack. Many people deal with this problem in the wrong way, such as peeling the skin of the heels roughly, which can actually cause pain or infection. As an alternative, you can use natural ingredients to treat it. As reported by briliobeauty.net from the Instagram account @beautystudio, a mixture of strawberries, lemon, and honey can be a natural solution.
Lemon is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that can help reduce dirt on heels that have turned black due to cracks. The citric acid in lemon also helps regenerate the skin by exfoliating dead skin cells. This process will make the skin of the feet smoother and brighter.

Honey is a natural ingredient that has effective properties in moisturizing the skin. This is because the glucose and fructose content in honey can deeply nourish the skin so that it not only helps maintain skin moisture, but also helps fight infections with its antimicrobial properties. Honey also contains alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) which help exfoliate dead skin cells so that it can smooth the skin slowly.
