Heal those dry heels
EVER suffer from rough or cracked heels to the extent you feel the only way out is to soak your feet in water all day? You are certainly not alone, not in Malaysia where the climate is hot and dry. Just one hot week is all it takes before heels start to crack.
The problem is aggravated by habits such as wearing slippers or sandals that are not fully covered. Furthermore, being in an airconditioned environment all day will strip moisture from your skin.
Cracked heels experienced by healthy people are more often an aesthetic problem than a health-related one. It is very common in those suffering from diabetes, psoriasis or other circulatory problems and can be a grave cause for concern.
With pressure placed on the heels while walking, the skin slides sideways and cracks. Untreated cracked heels are prone to infection. With higher blood glucose levels to sustain germs, infections are harder to treat.
To prevent heels from cracking, here are a AT Serene Aesthetics, beauty is more than just skin deep. It is introducing the HydraFacial from Serene Aesthetics – a revolutionary skin resurfacing technology that produces better results and delivers better outcomes than conventional ablative treatments.
Here is a treatment system that offers clearer and younger-looking skin with no pain and no recovery time required.
Serene Aesthetics’s HydraFacial provides a total and thorough care for the skin.
It is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, hydrates and moisturises simultaneously to produce instant results without the discomfort, pain and irritation of other conventional skin resurfacing methods.
HydraFacial applies a serumbased resurfacing procedure that is suitable for all skin types, including ageing, thin, ethnic, dry, oily or sensitive skin types. few things diabetic sufferers and even healthy people should consider:
– Wear proper fitting shoes to protect your feet. Flip-flops or backless shoes do not fully protect your feet and should be avoided.
– Wear socks to avoid blistering. Tight socks should be avoided as it can cut off blood supply to the feet.
– Dry feet well, especially in between toes after baths and apply moisturiser.
