Cracked Heel Remedy: How to Heal Dry, Cracked Feet
Fast at Home

What You Need:

• Cracked or dry heels (don’t worry I will spare you the picture of my feet)
• A good pair of socks, the fluffier the better
• Vick’s VapoRub
• Pumice
• Foot Treatment Oil

Step-by-Step Cracked Heel Treatment

Step 1.  Slather your feet with Vick’s VapoRub and when I say slather, don’t be shy. Once your feet are good and coated put on your nice fuzzy socks. (if you have a bad cough too, this will kill two birds with one stone).

Step 2. Keep your socks on overnight. If you can’t sleep with socks on, at least leave them on for an hour or two before bed to let the VapoRub absorb.

Step 3. In the morning, wash your feet really well and use your pumice. I absolutely LOVE Mr. Pumice, – it has a gentle side and a rough side, and it isn’t your typical stone pumice. I scrub my feet with this at least twice a week in the shower to keep them smooth.

Step 4.  If you have any dead skin peeling or hanging off (I know, it sounds gross), you can carefully trim it with cuticle clippers. Only do this after your feet have been soaked or wet, as this softens the loose skin and prevents injury.

Step 5.  To keep your feet soft and moisturized year-round, use Essie’s Swept Off My Feet Treatment (alternative). Rub a generous amount onto your feet before bed and let it dry completely. You can also use this oil along with your pumice for extra smoothing.

Final Wrap-Up

This is basically the same treatment you get during a pedicure – but you can easily do it at home! My feet get so dry and rough from wearing sandals all summer. Now that summer is over, I hope these steps will help keep your feet soft and moisturized, too.
