How To Get Rid Of Cracked Heels

Hi. I'm Simon. I'm the prime manager for Melvita in the UK.

So today, we are going to be working with Emma who is going to show you how to cleanse and warm the feet. That's the first stage, then thoroughly exfoliate, and then finally, seal moisture into the skin, ready for bed. So, it's important to remember that the skin on the feet is slightly different from the skin on the rest of the body.

It is designed to be thick and protective, but just because it is much, much sort of coarser than the rest of the skin, it's also quite a sensitive area. Our feet have many nerve endings as a reflexologist will tell you. Any particular attention paid to the feet is also going to boost the well being.

So, first of all, we're going to use an exfoliating shower gel to warm and cleanse the feet. Cleansing should always be the first step in any routine. This is really giving the skin a real thorough, thorough clean before we go into the deep exfoliation stage.

Don't forget to massage the product into the surface of the skin as well, before moving on and concentrating on the tough areas around the sole and the balls of the feet. Once you thoroughly cleanse the feet, the second stage is to create a foot balm. The purpose of this stage is not only deep relaxation, but also to actually warm the skin on the feet to prepare it best for exfoliation.

Leave the feet in the warm bath for ten to five minutes, enough time for the skin on the feet to soften. The next product is best applied to dry or slightly damp skin rather than wet skin, as this gives more intense exfoliation action. We are going to use the hands and feet gentle scrub.

This one is actually a bio-phase product with oil and the grainy sea salt level, so we need to blend the product before using it. Once you blend the product, apply to the feet. This product contains two types of grains: sea salt and almond paste.

Really work the product in circular motions around the feet. Don't neglect the tops of the feet because these are the most visible to people when you are wearing flip flops and strappy shoes. Once you have done the tops of the feet, also massage the product into the balls of the feet and the toes, concentrating on each individual toe, the sides of the feet, and then, finally, down to the balls of the feet, making sure you have an even spread.

The final stage is moisturization, so we're going to use the extra soft foot cream. This one contains very stimulating ingredients: a mint extract, menthol and a rosemary extract that will help cool the skin down if its too hot and also ensure that you have that sense of purification. Simply massage into the skin, so once the product has been applied, for additional absorption, follow with small cotton socks, and that's how you deal with cracked heels and dry skin on the feet. .
