Another thing I used Thentix for was the cracks in the skin of my cracked, dry heels. It was amazing!" -SJ

I recently moved to Florida and off came the shoes and on went an old pair of sandals. I love the outdoors and taking walks on the beach, but within a couple of weeks the skin on the back of my heels started to split. It was painful! There were two things here. One, I had to quickly do something about the open split and two, figure out how it was happening. Well, three things, I had to get it to heal up as well. And make sure it did not happen again. I guess that’s four.

So, the first thing I did was to put some lotion on my cracked, dry heels. The lotion I used has honey and aloe vera amongst other things. It is called Thentix 'A Touch of Honey'.

The anti-bacterial properties of these two ingredients and some others help to prevent infection. The next thing I had to do was somehow close and protect the fissure or split. This is not easy on cracked dry heels but gauze and an ace bandage seems to work.

Then each night before I go to bed I put some of the Thentix on my cracked dry heel to keep it moist, supple and allow healing. Putting the lotion on each day like this helps soften the skin as there was quite a callus built up on the back of my heel and the pressure pushing on the back of my heel with lousy sandals was helping the skin to crack.

You could also use a pumice stone or something similar to rub off some of the skin. Take it easy on this or you are going to create more problems. The causes of cracked dry heels can be from anything that is putting undue pressure on the heel such as standing too long (particularly in ill fitting shoes or sandals) to obesity as well as some diet problems or other general skin conditions.

Is it an Ongoing Problem?

On top of the obvious immediate handlings I would advise seeing a nutritionist or doctor if this is an ongoing problem. A podiatrist or chiropractor may need to be consulted as well to see if posture or other foot problems are the cause. Eczema or psoriasis can also be contributing factors. Using the Thentix – A Touch of Honey will help the symptoms in this case but one should definitely see a doctor or nutritionist to search out and handle the cause. The problem could be something as simple as a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

The same sort of problem can happen with hands – particularly the ends of the fingers. Often people working with chemicals or drying agents like mortar will have problems. Have a look at bricklayers’ hands sometime. The ends of his fingers often have cracks in the skin that are very slow to heal. I would suggest the same thing: make sure that the cracks are clean and dry and apply some of the lotion. And use Thentix all natural hand cream as the healing properties of honey can be quite dramatic.

Doing the above, I have been back to wearing sandals with no other ill effects.

Regular treatment with Thentix 'A Touch of Honey' of cracked, dry heels and rough feet helps the skin stay moist. The honey plumps up skin cells to help draw moisture and retain it. The ingredients in Thentix promote healing of the dry cracked skin.

You can actually feel the increase in moisture in your skin. If you use Thentix on your hands then wash them a little later, you will feel the smoothness as the ingredients help retain the moisture.
