What causes calluses and cracked skin?
Areas affected by calluses are often prone to developing cracks, also known as fissures. Callused skin forms in places that are repeatedly exposed to pressure or friction, such as from footwear or manual work requiring gloves. Once tiny tears appear in these hardened and less flexible skin areas, appropriate care should be taken.
These small skin openings can allow bacteria, viruses, and fungi to reach deeper layers of the skin, potentially leading to infections. Typical signs may include feelings of tightness, sensitivity, discomfort, or itching.
What unique protection does ilon® Cracked Heel Cream provide?
ilon® Cracked Heel Cream has been specially developed to care for dry, rough, and cracked skin. Its advanced formula combines intensive moisturising properties with nourishing ingredients that help retain moisture within the skin. As a result, the stressed skin on feet and hands becomes noticeably softer, smoother, and more supple. With regular use, rough and cracked skin can be visibly improved and effectively cared for.
The rich formulation containing shea butter, safflower oil, and linseed oil helps restore the skin’s natural elasticity while supporting long-term skin health. Dry skin receives lasting hydration, while 20% urea and plant-based hyaluronic acid provide intensive moisture and targeted care for severely stressed areas.
In addition, Spiralin® supports the skin’s natural protective barrier. Thanks to its special properties, it helps shield cracked skin from external influences. The cream is also suitable for people with diabetes.
Tip: Once the condition of the skin has improved after approximately 1 to 2 weeks, it is recommended to switch to ilon® Mousse with 10% urea. Regular use helps maintain skin elasticity, supports lasting hydration, and helps prevent the skin from becoming dry and cracked again.
