Beauty Hack: How to get rid of dry cracked heel

Pumice Stone

Have you ever sat down and stared at your feet and noticed that the heel is cracked and dry and looks disgusting? So you try rubbing feet on stone like at our grandmother and mum taught or you get a pumice stone but whilst these help to remove the dead skin they don't remedy the cracked heel.

 

Well fear no more because these home remedies will solve your problem:

The first one is the oil remedy

Olive and sesame oil are great sources of vitamin E and moisturizes the skin well.

Every night before bed massage Olive or sesame oil on your heels, put on a pair of socks then go to bed and in the morning they will be softer. You can also use coconut oil for this hack.

The second is the over ripped banana.

Take an over ripped banana that is almost black and soft to touch. Just mash it up and apply it to you heels.

Leave it on for 15-20 mins then wash it off with some warm water. If you suffer from severe cracking mash an avocado with the banana as it contains essential oils.

The third and final hack is the lemon juice.

Wash your feet in warm water and dry. Then add lemon juice to 1 teaspoon of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) and rub the mixture onto your feet concentrating on your heels. Leave it on overnight and then wash off in the morning. As the mixture is a little sticky I advise you wear a pair of socks.

Lemon and Vaseline mixture

The acidic properties of the lemon juice will soften the rough cracked heels whilst the Vaseline will nourish and moisturise them.
