Brilio.net - Cracked heels are a common problem that many people experience, especially during winter or dry weather. Cracked heels are not only uncomfortable, but can also be a source of problems that damage the appearance of your feet. Indeed, having bright and smooth skin on your feet is everyone's dream, especially women.
The reason is, with smooth heels, this part of the body looks more beautiful so it can support your daily appearance. Moreover, when going to the office or attending important events, wear high heels. But unfortunately, not everyone has smooth heels. A number of people actually experience rough and cracked heels.
Apart from disturbing your appearance, this problem also causes discomfort because your feet feel painful. The main cause of this condition is a lack of moisture in the heel area which is poorly maintained. Apart from that, feet that are not well maintained and hot weather can affect the condition of the skin.
To treat the condition of cracked heels, many people usually have treatment at a beauty salon or go to a dermatologist. Unfortunately, these two methods are quite draining on your wallet. As a solution, you can start treating cracked heels by using ingredients around you. One thing you can use is a fizzy drink which can be used to treat cracked heels.
However, you need to pay attention to the use of fizzy drinks because some of the chemicals in them can irritate the skin. Apart from soft drinks, additional ingredients such as corn flour and ground coffee are also needed. These two natural ingredients have ingredients and benefits for the skin. The first ingredient, namely corn flour, is useful as an exfoliator, so it can soften cracked heels.
Meanwhile, coffee grounds are not only useful as an exfoliator. The ingredients in this drink contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, so they can reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation. Therefore, dead skin cells can be removed and make the skin look brighter.

Corn flour is not only used as a food ingredient, but also has benefits and properties for skin care, especially cracked heels. Cornstarch contains natural moisturizing properties that can help maintain skin moisture. When applied to cracked heels, cornstarch helps soften dry, rough skin and prevent further dryness.
Its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties can help relieve inflammation and irritation of chapped skin. This allows the skin's healing process to be faster and more effective. Meanwhile, the nutritional content in corn flour, such as vitamins and minerals, can help maintain moisture and suppleness in the skin.
