DIY all-natural healing n soothing lavender foot soak

Our feet 👣 are amongst the most hard working parts of our body – be it standing, walking 🚶‍♀️, working, running 🏃‍♀️around your kids 👦👧, cooking 👩‍🍳, driving, wearing high heels 👠 for that matter almost all our daily activities!

Cracked heels occur when unhealthy dry skin around the heel responds to pressure from the weight of walking, or even standing, and the skin simply splits. Those cracks may not only make it painful to walk, but can also lead to serious infections. Cracks in the heels are generally caused by insufficient moisture. Seriously dry feet can occur for a number of reasons. Read this article to know more.
