In order for you to calmly walk in sandals and other shoes that have open heels, you need to care for the heels. It is necessary to ensure that the skin of the heels is as softer, smooth and well -groomed. This worries men to a much lesser extent, because, theoretically, they can afford to walk in socks, and therefore, until there are problems with the skin, special problems, usually do not turn to the heels. However, women are a different matter. Because so that the skin of the heels is not rough and dry, it needs to be paid special attention.
Do not immediately rush to lean into creams or on the use of pumice. First you need to deal with the main reason because of which the problem, in fact, arose. And the main causes of two are either vitamin deficiency or, on the contrary, hypovitaminosis.
Of course, both that and that are violations of the body’s work. Of the popular causes: diabetes, problems with the thyroid gland, hormonal failures, amino acid metabolism, lack of vitamins of certain groups, fungus, dermatitis, reduced activity of certain enzymes, mechanical damage from tight shoes – reasons, as we see, can be a huge amount. In general, ideally, it would be nice to undergo an examination by a doctor, if there is an opportunity. After all, it is precisely problems with the heels that can be the first alarming bell, which notifies a completely different problem.
Otherwise, if problems are probably absent, you need to take care of the heels at home. For example, make foot baths. To do this, fill the basin with water – to the ankles. Then you need to add a pair of spoons of soda or table salt to this water (heated to room temperature), and then liquid soap. Thus, you need to soak the legs for half an hour or a little more. Then treat them with terachka or pumice, rinse, wipe it dry and spread with a softening cream. Instead, however, you can use softened laundry soap, which is applied to the heels with a thick layer, fixed with a cellophane, over which a package is put on – and in this form everything is left until the morning. And in the morning also – pumice and rinsing.
Other baths that will benefit the spots are based on sage, St. John’s wort, calendula, aloe, and other herbs. The plus of baths with herbs is that, in addition to caring for, directly, heels, such baths remove edema and fatigue from the foot area.
For such procedures to make sense, it is necessary to maintain their regularity.
Onion compresses are also effective for softening the skin, honey and cabbage sheets are also good, as well as slightly more complex masks of potatoes, aloe, prunes, tomatoes, etc.D. Well, if you don’t want to do something yourself, you can always buy ready-made solutions in a pharmacy, for example, a tincture of vitamins E and A.
