The skin of the feet and hands often suffers at the change of seasons. This especially applies to the spring period, when the body begins to experience a lack of vitamins and other nutrients. Also, dry skin can be affected by cold diseases, which often lie in wait for a person in the spring. Therefore, it is very important not to trust warm days and dress according to the weather.
Also, it is necessary to pay maximum attention to the skin of the heels. Do not allow the skin to become dry and rough, as this can later lead to serious cracks. Dry, cracked skin becomes very vulnerable, and besides, the risk of catching a fungus increases.
In order for the skin on the heels to remain soft and delicate, you need to know how to properly care for it. First of all, you need to make sure that the skin does not grow. Dry areas can be removed by special grinding, which is used to treat only dry skin. At the same time, you should act very carefully so as not to sand off too much.
After treating dry heels, you can start water procedures. You should fill the basin with hot water. The temperature of the water should be such that you can lower your feet, but not burn yourself. Add some sea salt and shower gel to the liquid. Feet are kept in the bath for about 10-15 minutes. Then, the feet should be rinsed with clean water and wiped dry.
After the water treatments, you can additionally treat your feet and carefully remove the calluses with a scraper or pumice stone. A thick layer of nourishing cream is applied to the prepared, dry heels and massaged into the skin. At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to wear cotton socks.
In the spring, such procedures can be carried out 2-3 times a week. It is best to take care of your feet in the evening so that the rest of the cream can be properly absorbed into the skin. Then the heels will immediately stop drying and become soft.
