Every person periodically faces the problem of dry skin and the occurrence of wounds on the soles. Often, this condition occurs in the summer. This is due to the fact that we often go barefoot, and our feet sweat more. It is not necessary to use expensive cosmetic preparations to eliminate unpleasant symptoms. Since ancient times, people have known excellent folk remedies for cracked feet, which eliminate negative symptoms such as dryness, cracking, unpleasant odor or fatigue.
Comprehensive foot care
Before applying a folk remedy for cracks, a number of preparatory procedures should be done:
• steam your feet in warm water with the addition of soda;
• treat the heels with a pumice stone or a coarse brush;
• exfoliate the remains of rough skin with a foot scrub.
You can use ground coffee or sea salt instead of exfoliation. These simple steps will remove the top layer of skin and prepare your feet for subsequent skincare.
Folk remedies for cracks
1. If you already have deep wounds, a cabbage leaf compress will help. To prepare it, grind the vegetable to a mushy consistency and apply to the soles.
Put plastic bags on top and wrap with a towel. Keep it on for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with warm water and moisturize your feet with cream.
2. Herbal decoction bath. It perfectly relieves fatigue, tones up and promotes rapid healing of cracks. To prepare it, use a decoction of celandine, chamomile, burdock root and needles. You can take a bath 2-3 times a week.
3. Essential oils. Add one drop to your foot cream, or use them once a week. To do this, add 3-5 drops of eucalyptus, lemon, orange or tea tree oil to the soap solution. Such procedures provide comprehensive foot care: relieve fatigue, eliminate sweating and heal wounds.
You can easily get rid of cracked heels at home if you regularly use folk remedies and follow the recommendations received.
