Cracked Heels This Winter? Here’s Why It’s Happening (and How to Fix It!)

As the weather cools, humidity drops — and that’s bad news for your skin. Less moisture in the air means your skin loses hydration faster, especially in areas with thick skin, like your heels. Add closed shoes, hot showers, and skipping your regular footcare routine, and it’s the perfect storm for painful, cracked heels.

But here’s the good news: it’s fixable. Daily moisturising with a foot-specific cream rich in Urea (a powerhouse humectant) can help hydrate and soften the thickened skin that tends to crack.

Make it part of your night-time wind-down: apply Dermelive's heel cream and pop on a pair of thick socks. Your feet will thank you in the morning.

Winter is tough — your feet shouldn’t have to be.
