3 Steps to Getting Rid of Dry and Cracked Heels

On our Facebook page I’ve been getting a lot of requests about how to treat and help deal with dry feet.

How do you get rid of dry and cracked heels? Most of the time we try things like Vaseline and socks when we go to bed, or use peppermint scented lotions we buy from the drugstore. If you’ve been doing either of those for over a month and aren’t seeing results, it’s time for a new technique.

This is  so simple but you have to be consistent. The products don’t work if you don’t use them and give them time to work:

1)Soak your feet.This can be after you shower or bath, or even just give them a little soak while you’re watching TV.

2)File. Using a Foot Paddle, file the rough, dry,  callused area down a little bit. It’s best to do this a little at a time, consistently. Do a little everyday, you don’t want to make the feet sensitive. Callus is different from dry skin. Focus on the thicker areas with the rougher side. Dry skin is thin, so use the fine side very sparingly. This should never hurt.

3)Use a foot foam. This is a new concept for most people, but I really cannot say enough about this technology. They are formulated with smaller malecule to soak in faster. Urea deeply hydrates and moisturizers. The greatest thing is that it’s not greasy. At all. It soaks right in and you’re fine to walk around on that hard wood floor.You only need a very small amount. About the size of a walnut. Start the application where you are driest/roughest and massage into the rest of the foot. This should be applied morning and night and literally takes 2 minutes. No excuses.

Footlogix has a formula for whatever the problem is: dry,cracked,athletes foot, fungus etc. With the right amount used, you should get almost 1000 applications.

With deep cracks you have to be very careful – Filing won’t heal them. You have to moisturize to encourage healing.
