👣 Keep Your Heels Healthy with Tupurna Foot Clinic! 🌍
While we enjoy everyday life here in beautiful Spain, don’t let rough, dry, or cracked heels become a concern. Here’s why they are common and how to care for your feet:
𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧?
1. Climate Change: Hot, dry environments can quickly pull moisture from your skin. Not hydrating your feet properly or wearing protective footwear can lead to dry heels.
2. Air Conditioning: While it's essential for keeping cool, prolonged exposure to air conditioning dries out the air and your skin, leaving your feet dehydrated and flaky.
3. Barefoot Walking: Whether at the pool, beach, or at home, walking barefoot can expose your feet to rough surfaces and drying conditions without protection.
4. Water Exposure: Chlorine from pools, seawater, and even hard tap water can disrupt your skin’s natural balance, causing dryness and callus buildup.
5. Footwear Choices: Flip-flops and open sandals provide minimal support, allowing your heels to dry out and crack. They can also increase friction and pressure, leading to harder skin.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐨:
- Exfoliate Gently: Remove dead skin cells by gently exfoliating your heels before your foot care routine.
- Daily Moisturising: Apply a urea-based foot cream daily (especially at night) for extra hydration.
- Choose Supportive Footwear: Opt for supportive, closed shoes when walking long distances for added protection.
- Limit Barefoot Walking: Avoid going barefoot on abrasive surfaces whenever possible.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, inside and outside, and moisturise your feet regularly.
Your feet work hard for you every day. Give them the care they deserve, and enjoy your daily activities without the worry of cracked heels! 💖✨
