Lack of foot care or exfoliation
Skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis
Vitamin deficiencies (especially A, C, and E)
Aging, which reduces skin’s natural oils
Over time, dry skin on the heels can thicken, split, and even bleed. If ignored, these cracks can deepen and become vulnerable to infections. That’s why addressing the issue early with a natural, nourishing approach is so important.
Why Red Onion?
Red onion might not be the first thing that comes to mind for skincare, but it’s been used for generations in natural medicine for its powerful healing properties. Here’s what makes it effective for cracked heels:
1. Natural Antiseptic
Red onions are rich in sulfur compounds and antioxidants that fight bacteria and prevent infections in open heel cracks. This is crucial when skin is broken or bleeding.
2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Onion’s natural anti-inflammatory agents help reduce swelling, redness, and irritation, allowing skin to heal more quickly.
