What about your feet? They are most neglected part of people’s bodies. They are so far away from central processing (your brain) that they can often get forgotten. But they work hard for you and pampering them feels soooo good.
I get dry, cracked heels from being in flip-flops in the garden all summer and rubber boots in the garden all winter. I'm on my feet a lot and used to neglect them. And then my heels got so dry that they cracked (yikes!) and it was soooo painful.
The prescription!
For many, the solution is a medicated cream that helps heal the cracks and disinfect the cuts. This is a fine solution if you need it, but how about prevention?
Now that’s an idea!
Instead of spending money on an expensive cream and dealing with painful feet, a simple routine in the shower can help to improve dry heels and prevent cracking. Oh, and it costs almost nothing.
Use a pumice stone.
Use a pumice stone for just 10-20 seconds on your feet while in the shower each day and your heels will be baby-bum smooth in no time.
Soak your feet first to soften your skin in a warm bath with Epsom salts and herbs.
