Brilio.net - Cracked heels are one of the foot skin problems that many people experience. Because this problem occurs when the heel experiences excessive dryness. The skin on the heels of the feet tends to have fewer oil glands compared to other parts of the body. As a result, they are susceptible to drying out and cracking.
The condition of cracked heels is usually caused by several factors. Such as exposure to the external environment, namely dry weather, wind and excessive heat. This condition makes the heels of the feet dry and cracked. Using inappropriate footwear can also worsen the condition.
Apart from the factors above, standing or walking for a long time, especially on hard surfaces, can cause excessive pressure on the heels of the feet. This causes the skin to become hard and crack in response to the pressure .
Even though some of the factors come from daily habits, you don't need to worry. Cracked heels can still be treated. There are several methods that you can use without going to a beauty salon. Starting from using moisturizer, soaking your feet using water mixed with natural oils, to exfoliating using natural ingredients as done by the beauty vlogger who owns the YouTube channel @nasyarazeta2022.
By uploading videos on her YouTube channel, Nasya uses pure garlic and honey. These two natural ingredients have their own benefits for maintaining healthy foot skin.
