Fact 1: Your Heel Skin is Meant to be Thick, That Doesn’t Mean Dry and Crusty

The skin on your heels is naturally thick, serving as a protective shield against the daily grind. But it doesn't have to be dry and crusty! Imagine for a moment that the skin on your heels wasn't naturally thick. Walking on surfaces like gravel or even a carpet would feel like stepping on a bed of Legos – not a pleasant thought, right? Thankfully, our bodies have a built-in defense mechanism that thickens the skin on our heels to protect them from the constant pressure and friction they endure. However, this doesn't mean that your heels should be left dry and neglected. Proper care ensures that this natural defense can function at its best, maintaining the health and vitality of your feet.

Fact 2: Keratin - Your Heels' Best Friend and Worst Enemy

Your heels produce keratin, a tough protein, to provide structural support and protection from the rigors of daily life. It's a bit like a knight in shining armor for your feet. But here's the catch: if you neglect it, keratin continues to build up until it's too thick, leading to those unsightly and often painful cracks. Don't let your knight’s shining armor lose it’s luster!

Fact 3: Oil Glands MIA on the Soles of Your Feet

The soles of your feet are like deserts for oil glands. They're simply not there. That means your heels rely on you for moisture. But here's the good news – you have the power to nourish them. The key is choosing a moisturizer with healing, moisturizing ingredients that truly help your heels rather than making them worse.
