a must read for those with cracked feet ...
do not try any cream just like that without knowing the content in it or without any drematologist's approval!!! petroleum jelly if thats what you mean by vaseline then its very bad !! i big no! no! do not apply them ... himalaya creams are banned as far as i know due to some reasons i remember its because it has lead in it... in short don not apply any creams or jelly ...( believe me i dont and my cracked feet are now turned into oft pink clean feet ... )
everything what is told as ayurvedic!! need not be ayurvedic ... companys fool people in the name of ayurveda!!! dont be carried away ... especially when you have a cracked feet creams can go in from the cracks and enter the blood stream... be cautious while using the creams ...the best are oils... see below...
i had terribly cracked feet... especially in winter while i was in bangalore... they used to bleed ... but now i have no problems .... i would like to share what i did for this one..
first of all soak your feet in warm water with few drops of dettol or any other anteseptic cleanser for about 15 min to remove all the dirt ( do this twice a week since too much soaking will make skin soft .. )
clean them and put a bandaid to the cracked heal or the specific cracks which are deep and wear socks ... everyday day till the cracks are heeled .. so that while you roam around dirt dont enter ...
for the rest of the area( without bandaid) aplly avacado or olive oil( better option than cream since they are natural) if you dont have this can apply even coconut oil... main purpose is to moisturize... and wear a socks ... clean socks!!! for about a month do this .. ( wearing socks is a must for all the people who have cracked feet dont leave them open)
and while having bath see that you scrub your feet with a brush not a hard one so that the feet are clean ..
i have a dry skin and have a greater tendency to cracked feet ... so i always wear a socks at home after the bath ... so that when i go out my legs look good.... ( for people with a tendency to cracked feet , should take care to see that they dont keep feet more exposed to dirt and dryness... so clean it apply oil and wear socks to enhance the skin there)
so in brief ....whenever am at home i cleanse my feet scrub them ...if needed apply bandaid if cracks are deep .. apply oil and wear socks ... while going out my legs look damm good now.... this really really works .. you must try it out...
feet hygiene is real important keep your feet nails clean
