Taking care of your feet is important to keep them healthy and looking good, but getting professional pedicures can be expensive. Luckily, you can take care of your feet at home with this affordable and easy homemade pedicure using baking soda. This DIY remedy helps with typical foot problems such as dryness, cracks, and rough skin, making your feet feel soft, hydrated, and refreshed.
Reasons for Skin Issues on the Feet:
Dehydration can cause dry and cracked heels due to not having enough moisture. This can make the skin thick, which may become painful and itchy if not taken care of. Lack of vitamins and minerals like iron, along with health issues like diabetes and hypothyroidism, can cause dry skin on the feet. Environmental factors like walking barefoot, wearing shoes that don't fit well, or using strong soaps can harm the health of your feet. Standing for a long time can make the skin on your feet harden and lead to cracked heels. As we get older, our skin becomes less flexible, drier, thicker, and more likely to crack. Obesity can cause extra pressure on the heels, which may result in cracks if the skin is not flexible. Symptoms: The first signs of foot skin issues are rough, dry, and sensitive skin on the heels. As the situation gets worse, the skin may develop cracks of different colors, making it more likely to get infected.
