DIY semi-pedicure treatment at home

Over the years, we’ve came across many over-the-counter products that can be used at home yourself, without visiting a professional salon.

The Heel Balm is one of such products which you can purchase from your local pharmacy/chemist. We use professional products in our salon which are not generally available to the public.

We’d like to refer to these treatment products semi-pedicure treatment because it is used only for removing cracked heels and common dry skin problems on your feet. A full pedicure obviously involves more than just dry skin treatment as described here.

Cracked heels are most often caused by dry skin and as the problem worsens, the skin will begin to thicken and from a callous in an attempt to protect itself from further damage. Cracks or fissures that occur within the callous and are left untreated may become deep, painful, infected and begin to bleed, in extreme case of neglect.

Whether you are starting to feel the effects of dry skin on your feet, be consistent and use moiturising creams such as Soborleine to rub onto your heel and feet each night after taking a shower. This will prevent extreme callous buildup. Or when your heels are already cracked, get some Heel Balm (they do come in different Brands but the end result are similar) and rub them in each night. It will help rehydrate and revive rough, dry and cracked heels, a very unpleasant and potentially painful problem.

Of course, you can always spend a little time at our nail salon and we will thoroughly treat your condition and provide adequate advice along the way.
