What is the reason why the heel often cracks? How to prevent it?

The cuticle of the heel is thicker than other parts of the body, and its elasticity is correspondingly smaller, so the pulling force of foot activity is larger. In autumn and winter, the weather is dry and the humidity is low, which is easy to cause local chapping and form thin and deep laceration. Old people are also prone to chapping. When the blood circulation in the body decreases, the skin elasticity will also decrease, and the heel is also prone to splitting.

Excessive cleaning: Many people wash their feet and soak their feet too often because the heel skin is dry, which will destroy the protective barrier on the skin surface and make the heel skin drier and more prone to cracking. When it is hot in summer, we often wear sandals and leak our feet outside. So it is inevitable to be infected by bacteria and fungi. In addition, we usually eat irregularly, and the body's nutrients lack resistance to the skin. When the body lacks vitamins, it will lead to heel cracking and peeling. Lack of trace elements can cause skin necrosis or peeling. You can usually eat more foods rich in vitamin C and B vitamins.

Long-term severe dry heel can be treated by promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It can be taken in water with Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Achyranthes bidentata, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Carthamus tinctorius and Crataegus pinnatifida, or it can be taken with Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, all of which have good therapeutic effects. If it's only a little dry for a while and it doesn't feel so smooth, it's probably just dry skin. At this time, what you need to do is to moisturize your feet. You can soak your feet in warm water at night for a long time (about 20 minutes). After soaking feet, you can directly apply "Cracking Ning" to soften the aged horniness of feet, deeply moisturize skin and replenish moisture for skin. Contains herbal ingredients, which can kill foot bacteria, promote the growth of new skin and bid farewell to chapped skin.

Moisturizing foot cream and hand cream should be adhered to every day, especially in winter. Don't think that only the face needs good care. Hands and feet are the second face. Long-term care will see obvious changes!
