H-Cracked Heels Formula

What Causes Cracked Heels?

Standing for long periods of time on hard surfaces, wearing shoes that do not fit correctly and/or are open backed; being overweight, having inactive sweat glands or extra dry feet, as well general neglect of the feet can all cause dry skin which often leads to cracks in the feet and heels.

Dry, cracked heels are not only unsightly, but can often become a source of uncomfortable pain and embarrassment. When the skin under the feet thickens, it often progresses to cracks and fissures that cause discomfort.

Dry Cracking Feet Can Be Painful

Cracked heels are often a problem in the summer months from going barefoot or wearing sandals. However, with the cold winter comes dry and chapped skin which can lead to cracks and pain.

The pain and discomfort can increase when more pressure is placed on the heels, often making the cracks deeper which can even lead to bleeding. Once bleeding does occur with cracked heels, the skin can become more prone to bacterial infections.

It is important to take care of the feet and to follow a healthy lifestyle in order to prevent injuries, infections and pain associated with cracked feet.

How To Prevent Heels Cracking

Embrace some lifestyle changes such as but not limited to exercising (which will increases circulation), drinking plenty of water, and increasing vitamin intake in one's diet (with focus on calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and omega-3 fats). These slight changes to one's lifestyle aren't too invasive and will be worth the health benefits.
