Cracked heels are quite a common condition, particularly in the summer months and in warmer climates. Although initially no more serious than hard skin, they can become quite painful and lead to more serious conditions if not treated promptly.
Once the skin on your heels is no longer cracked, exfoliate regularly using scrubs such as our Rough Skin Remover and files.
Moisturising every day with a product such as our Deep Moisturising Cream will help to keep heel-skin soft. Open-backed shoes which leave your heels exposed should also be avoided.
Cracked heels are quite a common problem - especially if the weather is hot and dry. Initially, they're not much more than a minor irritation. But, left untreated, cracked heels can soon become very painful and may lead to more serious conditions.
Cracked heels are caused by dry, hard skin at the edges of the heel becoming stressed then splitting. This skin can also become yellow or off-white in colour.
Skin can crack when it becomes dehydrated. Healthy skin is supple and will bend or stretch when under pressure. Our Cracked Heel Repair Cream is clinically proven to give visible improvements in three days. When used for longer it can help the skin to repair.
