Dry Cracked Feet?

Everyone knows that dry cracking heels is no fun!  It hurts to put pressure on your heels after they have cracked!  They snag on the sheets in bed and scratch legs and everything they touch.  They're unsightly, embarrassing, and uncomfortable!  Usually the summer brings lots of dry cracked heels, but winter isn't kind to dry skin either!  I have had several friends ask me about how they can solve this issue.  This is the way I combat dry cracked heels!

I always follow these directions just before bed. 

1.  Get a good rough file.  You can use a pumice stone too.
2.  File your feet where all the rough spots are; heels, sides of the feet where the big toe and little toe are, and bottoms of pads.
3.  Soak your feet in warm soapy water or let them moisten in the shower. 
4.   After moistening feet, apply Udder Cream or Bag Balm.  I swear by Bag Balm for dry cracked feet!  It healed mine so fast! 
5.  Apply cotton socks to feet and wear them to bed.  Your feet will feel so soft and supple in the morning. 


 Follow these directions every night until your cracks are completely healed!  And don't stop using lotion on your feet before bed every night. 

If this doesn't help you, send me a note and we'll talk!

If you have a severe case, you can use a glycolic acid peel on your heels.  This is recommended to be done by an esthetician or chemical peel specialist.  A glycolic facial cream can also be used.

If you know of any other tips or ideas to keep heels supple and beautiful, send me a message!
