HEAL YOUR CRACKED HEELS

Are you struggling with cracked heels? You're not alone! Many people experience this common foot issue. Understanding the causes and discovering effective remedies can help you maintain smooth and healthy feet all year round.

WHAT CAUSES CRACKED HEELS?

Cracked heels are often the result of dry skin and can be influenced by various factors:

  • Dry Skin: The most common cause, dry skin can be due to a variety of reasons including environmental factors.

  • Prolonged Standing: Standing for long periods, especially on hard floors, can increase pressure on the heels leading to cracks.

  • Obesity: Carrying extra weight can put more pressure on the feet, causing the skin to crack.

  • Open-Backed Shoes: Footwear such as sandals or flip-flops can allow the fat under the heel to expand sideways and increase pressure on the skin, leading to cracking.

  • Skin Conditions: Conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, athlete's foot, and other skin-related conditions can cause dry, cracked skin.

  • Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can lead to dry skin and increase the risk of cracked heels.

Our Advanced pedicure is a foot and nail treatment, while relaxing and beautifying, a pedicure alone may only provide temporary relief for cracked heels since it does not deeply treat the underlying causes like dry skin. However, it is a good starting point and the basic element in any foot care routine.

GEHWOL Med Salve for Cracked Skin is an intensive treatment specifically formulated to heal and repair deeply cracked and dry heels. This salve deeply moisturizes and repairs cracks, transforming rough heels into smooth, healthy feet.
