Natural Dry Skin: Some individuals naturally have drier skin, making their feet more susceptible to cracking.
Prolonged Standing: Standing for extended periods, especially on hard surfaces or in uncomfortable shoes, can increase heel pressure and lead to cracks.
Obesity: Excessive weight can put additional pressure on the feet, causing the skin to expand and crack.
Medical Conditions: Diseases like diabetes and thyroid disorders, as well as skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, can affect the skin’s oil production, leading to cracked heels.
Aging: As we age, our skin loses natural oils and elasticity, making it more prone to cracking, particularly on the heels.
Vitamin Deficiencies: A lack of essential vitamins (C, A, E) and minerals (like zinc) can impact the health of your heels.
Continuous Water Exposure: Long periods in water or damp environments can strip away the skin’s natural oils, leaving it dry and rough.
By understanding these causes and using the lemony remedy, you can take a step towards softer, healthier heels. Remember, regular care and moisturization are key to preventing and treating cracked feet.
