Treating Rough, Dry Feet
Use a rich emollient cream (aloe vera is especially softening) on your feet every night, massaging the cream in well. Try a foot massage cream with a touch of mint or a hint of menthol for a soothing fresh feeling. You would also do well to start the day with a dab of the same cream.
Softening Cracked Heels
Cracked heels are uncomfortable, not very pretty and during the summer months they really show in strappy, feminine sandals.. During the winter you can hide them, but cold weather and indoor heat sap moisture away nonetheless. Your best bet is to exfoliate daily while you're in the shower -- pumice stone or foot files (they're like nail files, only bigger) are great for softening callouses. Then carefully pat them dry and immediately apply a rich moisturising cream. Scholls' Deep Moisturiser targets problem areas such as your heels. Before bed, slather on a lot and slip on a pair of socks for intense healing while you sleep.
