How to soften the skin heels
 Some people, both men and women may have this problem: the skin on the heels becomes excessively rough. The reasons are varied: there are natural age-related changes, and exposure to air (if often wear open shoes), and constant microtrauma. As a result of all these factors in the heel area is gradually formed a thick layer of necrotic epithelium, sometimes with cracks where dirt and dust clogged. Naturally, this is a problem, especially for women. How can soften the skin heels at home?
 The bare minimum that you need - a piece of pumice and nourishing cream.

It is easy to guess that the remediation of leather heels consists of two main stages: removal of dead epithelial layer and a healthy layer of skin softening. Removal is carried out with a piece of pumice. Before this procedure, the skin heels must be good to steam to make it more pliable, elastic. For this purpose, it is necessary to take a hot footbath. Its duration - not less than a quarter of an hour.

Here, perhaps, the easiest recipe: take one cup (approximately 200 ml) of sea salt, two finely chopped tomato or two rubbed on a medium grater raw potatoes. Mix salt with tomato or potato mixture, put on heels steamed out skin, wait 15 minutes, a good rub hard sponge (natural or synthetic). Wash the feet with hot water, dry, apply a nourishing cream. This procedure is carried out at least once a week, before going to bed. After the application of nourishing cream, it is desirable to put on cotton socks and do not remove them until the morning.

In some cases well to regular rubbing into the horny skin heels mixture of castor and olive oils. Even better, if in this mixture will be added with Vitamins A and E (one capsule).
