There is nothing less attractive than dry, cracked feet or rough skin on the toes or heels.
Causes of thickening, drying and cracking of the skin on the feet are usually the climate, wearing uncomfortable footwear, exercise, excessive strain on the feet, lifestyle and aging.
Solution for thickened and cracked feet
People tend to address this health-cosmetic problem by visiting a pedicurist, spa or beauty studios, which, however, is often time-consuming and expensive.
Moreover, a disadvantage of various cosmetic products is also their content of harmful substances and various toxic chemical additives.
Fortunately, there are also simpler home and, above all, natural methods that will provide you the same effect without side effects.
