Honey Foot Moisturizer for Cracked Heel
When the skin on and around the heels becomes thickened (callused) or dried out it causes cracking. These cracks can range from minor to severe and be caused by anything from increased pressure /weight and ill-fitting shoes to dry climate and fungal infections, like athletes foot. Whether your dry cracked heels are causing discomfort, or if you simply find them unsightly, try making a honey moisturizer for daily use to get them supple and smooth again.
Ingredients: Milk, honey, orange juice.
Why honey: Honey is a humectant, which means that it traps and seals moisture, making it ideal to apply to dry, cracked heels. Put it on and it essentially “sucks” moisture into your skin, helping to relieve the dryness and heal the cracks. It also helps ward off bacteria, which is an added benefit if you have open cracks that run deeper.
Why milk: Milk is rich in vitamin A which is essential for healthy skin, as it helps to repair and rebuild it. It also helps to thin out the honey a bit and allow for easier application.
Why orange juice: Oranges, and subsequently their juice, are high in vitamin C. Vitamin C stimulates the production of collagen, which is basically the substance that gives skin its elasticity and suppleness. As we age our collagen lessens, which is why we get wrinkles. Applying vitamin C topically will help your skin retain the flexibility that makes it possible to put pressure on it without it splitting.
