Common Treatment for Cracked Heels

Daily cleaning and moisturizing of your feet. This old fashioned technique involves creating a mixture of soap and warm water, letting your feet soak there for 15 minutes, washing your feet and dabbing, rather than wiping your feet dry. Take one teaspoon Vaseline, add lemon juice extracted from one lemon. This compound is to be rubbed on the cracked areas of your feet. Let this mixture soak through your skin till it absorbs. Do this daily to get maximum benefits.

Mixture of glycerin and rosewater applied on daily basis helps heal the cracked feet.

Exfoliating and scrubbing your feet is very important. Any build-up of dead skin on your feet would only exacerbate things. We recommend the use of a loofah or a pumice stone to do the scrubbing off of the dead skin build-up.

If at all possible, apply an oil-based moisturizer twice a day.

A pedicure done at home or in a beauty salon would allow you to show your feet that you care. Use sea salt (we have to be specific here) and water to wash your feet and scrub them if you cannot be dragged to the local beauty salon. Afterwards, caress your feet with hand and body lotion.

Or you can take 100 grammes of coconut oil and mix it with three teaspoons of camphor and three tablespoons of paraffin wax, thoroughly melted. Before going to bed every night, apply this mixture on your cracked heels. Again, rub your feet with hand and body cream in the morning after washing.

A simple exfoliation technique with strawberry. Start by crushing six to eight strawberries then mixing a teaspoon of sea salt and two tablespoons of either olive or almond oil. To enhance blood circulation when applying the paste, you will want to rub the mixture vigorously. Leave it for 10-15 minutes; rinse using with warm water then cold water. As an alternative to strawberries, you can also use almonds. Other variants of the above mixture would involve walnut sheet and corn cobs, which is best on tougher skin types. The secretions from the fruits and nuts used would amalgamate together in a healthful way to make your feet look and feel brilliant again.
