Nothing ruins the vibe of a cute summer sandal like cracked, dry heels. You’ve got the outfit, the pedicure, the flip-flops—and then you look down and see flaky, rough skin around your heels. Instant buzzkill.
But cracked heels aren’t just a cosmetic issue—they can be painful and even lead to infections if ignored. The good news? Soft, smooth heels are totally doable with the right routine and products that actually work.
What Causes Cracked Heels?
Cracked heels (also called heel fissures) happen when the skin on your feet becomes too dry, thick, or stressed. Add friction from walking barefoot, wearing open-back shoes, or standing for long periods—and your heels can split, peel, and crack.
Common causes of dry, cracked feet include:
-
Lack of moisture or dehydration
-
Harsh soaps or long hot showers
-
Walking barefoot or in sandals often
-
Open-backed shoes (like flip-flops)
-
Not exfoliating or moisturizing your feet
-
Skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis
How to Heal Cracked Heels with Mi-El Skincare
Step 1: Soak + Exfoliate
Start by soaking your feet in warm water for 10–15 minutes to soften dead skin. Then, gently exfoliate using the Honey-Infused Sugar Scrub or Strawberry Kiss Sugar Scrub — both are rich in nourishing ingredients that help buff away rough, dry skin and reveal smoother heels underneath.
Step 2: Hydrate with Body Oil
Apply the Mi-el Body Oil while your feet are still slightly damp. It locks in moisture, softens tough skin, and delivers a boost of glow-boosting nutrients. Don’t forget to massage it into the heels, arches, and toes.
Step 3: Seal with Body Cream
Follow up with the Mi-el Body Cream for long-lasting hydration and protection. This rich yet non-greasy formula helps repair cracked skin, smooth rough patches, and protect your heels from further dryness.
You don’t have to settle for cracked, rough heels—especially not when sandal season is calling. With consistent care and the right combo of exfoliation and moisture, your feet can be just as smooth and glowing as the rest of your body.
