There isn’t a single person on Earth who hasn’t ever struggled with cracks on their feet.
While in the summer, our feet get naturally rubbed and the dead skin is lost while we walk on the tiny sand stones, in winter however, cracks can be a real problem, because the skin also gets dryer during winter time.
The reason for dry and flaky, cracked feet is the fact that the skin on the feet doesn’t have oil glands – unlike all the other parts from the body.
Our feet have plenty, even more sweat glands from the other body parts, but this is some times not enough to keep our feet well moisturized.
In today’s article, we are presenting to you few basic home remedies for cracked feet. Just relax yourself in the chilly evening, read a book or watch a movie and make a foot massage with these remedies.
