=HOW TO GET RID OF CRACKED FEET IN HOURS

Good day steemians...

Today I'm going to share a few tips on how to get rid of cracked feet

Cracked feet can be unsightly, painful, and hard to get rid of!
The first step to healing your cracked feet is knowing the cause
There are many causes of cracked feet the first and most popular is

1. Lack of moisture
   Winter weather or harmattan season is the number one cause for seasonal dry skin. The heels are especially prone to chapped skin, because they are home to most of the sweat glands in your feet....

2. OBESITY
   Excessive weight gain causes You to exert more pressure than usual on fat pad on your heel which causes cracking of already dry feet

3.DIABETES , PSORIASIS AND OTHER DRY SKIN CONDITIONS

Skin conditions such as these can cause skin to dry out, flake, peel, and even crack down deep into the layers beneath the epidermis, drawing blood. In certain areas of the body, it might go unnoticed but not the heel because it gets lot of foot traffic...

Other causes are....
Kidney problems
Thyroid dysfunction
Nutrient deficiency
Aging
Poor hygiene
Wrong footwear i. e too tight shoes

Now that you know the causes we would move on to the remedy with simple ingredients easily found in the home

1.LEMON JUICE
There are two ways to use this...
The first method is to apply the juice directly on the heel

The second is to dilute with warm water and let it soak...
Both methods are effective
Don't forget to scrub after soaking with a foot stone or a really coarse cloth

1. OLIVE OIL, COCONUT OIL OR VASELINE

Apply any of these directly to your feet and out on a sock to lock in the moisture before going to sleep .
And scrub off the peeling skin with a foot stone .

3.HONEY

Then scrub off the dead skin

NOTE: DON'T leave a cracked feet untreated because doing that means leaving them exposed to all the bacteria they come in contact with ...Especially when you walk barefooted whether at the beach or anywhere else .
There are really expensive treatments for this but they re-occur but these natural treatments will fix your condition especially if you keep it up even after its gone say once every two weeks to three weeks
