Question
I’ve noticed with age that I have developed cracked heals. Is there anything that I can do to stop this from happening?

Answer
Cracked, dry and/or calloused heels can generally be blamed on open backed sandals or slides. Cracks occur when the skin is too dry or too thick, so you need to keep the skin as thin as possible by either seeing a podiatrist or scrubbing the skin yourself at home. To assist at home, you will need to keep your heels well moisturised with products containing salicylic acid or urea. These special moisturisers help dissolve the calloused skin and make it easier to scrub off with a foot file.
