Four ways to heal cracked heels according to a podiatrist

February 24,2020

It’s always a good thing to have a smooth heel and here are four ways to heal cracked heels.

There’s nothing worse than deciding to slip on your favorite pair of backless shoes and seeing rough, cracked skin.

While a pedicure definitely helps improve the look of fugly feet.

Realistically you won’t always be able to get one, plus the results don’t last more than a few days.

Luckily, it’s easier than you think to keep your heels smooth at-home.

Not only will DIY-ing it save you money and time.

It will  also help ease the pain that dry, cracked heels can cause.

Below, find expert-approved ways to heal cracked heels.

After which you can wear those sandals, sling-backs, and mules with confidence.

Step 1: Soak + Exfoliate

Four ways to heal cracked heels

Once a week set aside a little time after you shower to treat your feet.

If your heels aren’t already softened up from your shower, soak them in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes to do so.

If you’re feeling fancy, put in a few drops of your favorite essential oil or use a pre-packaged foot soak, baking soda, aloe and coconut oil in it to repair and refresh.

Afterwards, physically exfoliate and slough off dead skin with a pumice stone

Step 2: Moisturize On The Regular 

For hardened heels, it’s crucial to use a moisturizer daily. “Look for one with urea or lactic acid on the ingredient label as these will exfoliate as well as hydrate.

For a DIY solution. “You can put any oils — olive oil or coconut oil — on the heel but wait to do this until after you soak as oils acts as a sealant to moisture,” Dr. Splichal furthers.

She also suggests sealing it into skin with saran wrap to lock in moisture.

Step 3: Choose The Right Footwear

If you’re constantly dealing with cracked skin, it may be time to reevaluate your shoe collection.

Certain pairs can aggravate heels—“especially tighter ones that are restrictive of movement like boots or pairs that have a stiff heel counter.

 Shoes with softer fabrics that don’t have a heel counter are the best.

Step 4: Make Your Foot Care A Routine

Just like your skincare routine, it’s equally important to continue to give your feet some routine after you’ve healed them.

“The best treatment for cracked heels is avoiding it in the first place which means daily moisturizing and weekly exfoliating

This is important in both cold and warm weather,” advises Dr. Splichal.

Doing all the above helps to heal cracked heels.

Which in all honesty, is pretty easy advice for anyone looking to put their best foot forward.
