MANILA, Philippines - While we nourish our skin to avoid eventual damage, we often overlook one vital part of our body: our feet, which support our whole body. Without proper care, skin becomes dry, and the heels start cracking up before eventually turning into serious infections and medical problems.
About 40 percent of the general population suffers from cracked heels or heel fissures. This foot problem is caused by dry skin (xeorosis) and is aggravated when skin around the rim of the heel becomes thick (callus). Cracked heels, especially when the fissures are deep, are painful and may even bleed.
While weather conditions can trigger skin dehydration and cracked heels, several factors may also be responsible, like having sensitive skin, walking barefoot on cement and mosaic floors with acidic content, using detergents with harsh chemicals, improper foot care (i.e., wearing socks and shoes when feet are not yet properly dry), and being overweight.
Armed with a more advanced understanding of dry, cracked heels, Ellgy Plus is the feet’s best friend. This intensive moisturizer provides dual-moisturizing effect both on top and below the surface of the skin to soothe dry, cracked heels. Its combination of saccharide isomerate (water magnet) and portulaca extract (essential fatty acid which strengthens the epidermal lipid layer) helps repair, smooth, and soothe dry, cracked heels in just three days.
In an open evaluation trial conducted by the Malaysian Diabetics Association, 86 percent of respondents suffering from dry, cracked heels, reported total relief and effective treatment after applying Ellgy Plus twice daily.
For more information on Ellgy Plus, call PL Asia Pacific (Phils) Inc. at 887-2423 local 571. Ellgy Plus is now available at Mercury Drug and other drugstores nationwide.

Nivea ignites family excitement in Boracay
Happy cheers echoed all over Boracay as family vacationers gathered at the beachfront of the Sun Village Central Resort to join in the fun of Nivea’s Kiddie Sand Sculpture Contest.
Fired up by excitement and creativity, 15 youngsters merrily got down and dirty, creating their own rendition of professionally crafted sand sculptures. The kids had a blast scooping and molding Boracay’s crystal white sand into sea turtles, dolphins, lanterns, and castles. Under the bright, smiling sun, they frolicked without worry as they were protected by Nivea Sun Children’s Pocket Size Lotion, the latest innovation from the leading skincare expert.
Named winners in the contest were John Pal Bernalez, Angan Ambol, and siblings Ella, Julianne, and Justin Go. Families and spectators cheered the winners and all young contestants for the creativity they manifested.
Vanessa Venturina, Nivea brand manager says, “We came up with a sand sculpture contest in Boracay to engage family vacationers to have fun on the beach without worrying about the sun. To make this possible, we asked all of the parents of the participants to protect their children with the sunblock made especially for kids, allowing the children to stay under the sun protected.”
The first daily sunblock developed especially for kids, Nivea Sun Children’s Pocket Size Lotion is dermatologically tested to be safe on children’s skin. It is formulated with SPF 50 and UVA/UVB filters to make sure that their vulnerable skin is reliably protected against the harmful rays of the sun.
