How to Care for Dry Heels Even in Summer

In the summer, since we often expose our feet wearing comfortable slippers or sandals, we pay a lot of attention to our heels.

It is said that dead skin cells easily form on the heels because they lack sebaceous glands and experience frequent friction with shoes.

It is said that intentionally grinding off dead skin from your heels may improve symptoms in the short term, but in the long run, it not only damages the skin but also poses a risk of bacterial infection.

It is best to avoid physically grinding off dead skin cells.

To soften your heels!

Please wash your feet thoroughly first and apply moisturizer.

For moisturizers, foot creams containing a lot of moisturizing ingredients like Vaseline are better than body lotions.

Taking a foot bath is also helpful.

Adjust the water temperature to about 40℃, which is slightly higher than body temperature, and the time should be about 10 minutes.

It is good to remove old dead skin cells using a scrub after a foot bath once a week.

You can finish with a moisturizer, but since the skin on the soles of your feet is thick, you need to keep rubbing the cream in for about 5 to 10 minutes for better absorption.

If you apply plenty of cream to your feet, wrap them in plastic wrap for about 20 to 30 minutes, and then sleep wearing cotton socks, you can feel your heels becoming soft.
