| Heel to Toe Foot Care |
A lot of us have to deal with dry, cracked feet. And not just in the winter, all year long. And this is a problem in the summertime. We like to wear sandals or even go barefoot and don't get to do this for being embarrassed of the condition of our feet.
Here are just a few helpful home remedies that can really help out a lot.
1. Coconut oil
Massage a spoonful of coconut oil on your cracked heels and cover them with socks before bed. In the morning, your heels will be smoother and softer. Repeat as often as needed until cracked heels are considerably better. Coconut oil is a natural sanitizer and will help to kill the germs that lead to infection causing dry skin.
2. Honey
Add one cup of honey to a gallon of warm water. Pour honey-water mixture into a bucket big enough to fit your feet. Soak 30 minutes. The honey helps moisturize and cleanse cracked heels, while keeping germs at bay.
3. Banana and Coconut Mask
Mash a banana and 3 tbsp of coconut oil. Apply this mixture to cracked heels and let sit for 30 minutes. Wash in warm water and pat dry. The mixture has natural enzymes to help encourage cell turnover and moisturize skin.
4. Pumice Stone
Soak feet in warm water and use a natural pumice stone to slough off dead skin cells. Rub feet coconut oil, olive oil, or vitamin E oli to keep feet moisturized.
