Heels need thicker moisture support because they face pressure and constant friction. Dense balms can help improve softness over time.
Quick summary
- Heels need thicker moisture support because they face pressure and constant friction. Dense balms can help improve softness over time.
- Why heel skin needs richer moisture: Heel skin is naturally thicker and often exposed to pressure from walking. Lightweight lotions may absorb fast but can wear off before meaningful barrier support.
- Night routine for rough heels: After washing and drying feet, apply balm generously to cracked zones and cover with breathable socks. Repeat nightly for 1-2 weeks, then maintain as needed.

Keep in mind

- If symptoms persist, worsen, or become painful, consult a licensed clinician.

When to seek professional care
If cracks are deep, painful, bleeding, or not improving, consult a clinician or podiatrist. Skincare supports comfort but does not replace medical diagnosis.
