How to repair cracked heels?

Cracked heels or heel fissures is not a preety sight especially for those to loves wearing sandals or open sole shoes. The linear cut wounds or cracks on the heel initially affects the top surface level of the skin called epidermis. But, sometimes, this crack or fissures might deepen and causes pain once it cuts though the inner layer of the skin called dermis.

One of the main reasons for cracked heels is because we don't take enough care of it. For example, if it were your face skin, you'll definately take care of it, washing it with facial wash and putting on moisturizer and maybe even serum so that it look fresh and radiant. But your feet, the part of the skin which endure lots of impact while walking or even standing and have to withstand harsh surfaces is always being forgotten.

Our heels usually are dry and thicker compared to other parts of the skin. If excessive feet activity is not balanced with good caring of you feet, the dry skin around the heel will soon crack or peel.

Cracked heel remedy:

1. Soak you feet with lemon juice or warm soapy water for 10 minutes and use a brush to lightly brush off dirt trapped within the cracked heel.


2. Use any moisturizer, shortening or hydrogenated vegetable oil and apply it generously on your cracked heel. Then, wear a pair of socks and leave it overnite. Repeat till the cracked heels are repaired. This might take about a week.

The above remedy is easy to do and all you need might already available in your home. But, I would like to recommand a product, which is a specially formulated foot cream if you want a faster result. You can read the product review here:

Hisamitsu Lifecella Orange Face Mask review

I've always seen Hisamitsu Lifecella Orange Face Mask selling over the counter in many shops. But have not tried it before. Just recently, I've bought it, in fact i bought 8 of them. Ok, they were on sale, so that's why I bought so many of them.

The first time I tried it, I was quite surprise. This lifecella mask is not like other face masks which are normally wet and messy. The mask is a gel type. Imagine this, a piece of orange color cloth, inner side is a film of gel or jelly and the outer side is dry and clean cloth surface. The gel or jelly contains a lot of the good stuff for you skin. The longer you put it on the skin, you'll notice the thinner the gel or jelly will be as the nutrients are being absorbed through the skin. Also the mask is separated into 2 parts; top and bottom.

How to use:
After washing your skin (or for better effect, exfoliate your skin), pat dry your face and apply the gel mask on the skin. According to the instruction from the wrapper, leave it for 15 minutes. However, I like to leave it longer since it is so convenient and non messy. You don't have to rinse after using. Recommanded to use it twice a week. You can also use it everyday.

Benefits of Lifecella Orange Face Mask:

• Simple and convenient to use
• Non messy - you can even wear your spectacles (if you use them) and go about doing your daily routine in the house.
• Skin have a nice cool feeling even long after removing it. Approximate 3 hours and longer.
• Skin is well moisturized. Skin remained oil free even without moisturizer for half a day.
• Relaxes the skin

However, it is required to use this mask often for a noticable effect on the skin. Have you use it before? If yes, what do you think about this face mask?
