What to do with dry and cracked feet? Tips to prevent and treat dry and cracked hands and feet

In winter, many people will have dry and cracked feet. This is because the climate is dry and the weather is cold in winter, the skin loses moisture quickly, and the oil secretion of the foot skin decreases, which may cause dry and cracked feet. To treat dry and cracked feet, you need to pay attention to daily care, and you can also take some small folk remedies.

1: Reduce the frequency of using cool water to prevent the skin from reducing sebum secretion due to cooling.

2: Soak your hands and feet in hot water at night, apply anti-cracking oil, glycerin, vaseline, etc., then wear gloves or wrap them in a plastic bag to promote the skin's absorption of nutrients.

3: Use less alkaline soap and try to avoid direct contact with acids, alkalis and other chemicals.

4: Apply hand cream every time after washing your hands and feet.

5: Eat more sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E, which is an excellent antioxidant. It helps maintain the normal function of nerves and muscle tissues and makes the capillary walls more stable, so that the originally stagnant blood circulation can be restored to smoothness, which helps prevent the formation of chapped hands and feet and pigmentation.

6: Eat more vegetables such as carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, and animal livers. The vitamin A they contain can protect the skin and prevent skin cracks. Patients with long-term hand and foot cracks or elderly patients should eat more pork liver, pork skin, mutton, donkey-hide gelatin, etc.

1: Take a ripe banana and put its pulp in a small bowl. Then take a suppository and squeeze its liquid into the bowl. Mash it with the banana pulp into a thin paste for later use. Before use, wash the chapped skin with warm water and dry it. Then apply the banana pulp paste to the affected area and rub it repeatedly. Apply once a day for 3 to 5 days to cure.

2: Take a banana (the riper the better), squeeze out some banana pulp, and apply it evenly to the chapped areas of your hands and feet. Use it every night after washing and drying the affected areas. The skin will heal in 3 to 5 days.

There are many reasons for dry skin, such as fungus, eczema, simple skin aging and dryness, diabetes, etc. Patients should go to the hospital for a specialist diagnosis. If the dry skin is caused simply by the low temperature in winter and the reduced secretion of sebaceous glands, you need to pay more attention to skin care in your daily life.
