Cracked Heels

A common problem in the winter months is cracked heels. Here are a few ways to combat the problem.
• Soak your heels in lukewarm water and use a pumice-stone to scrub off dead skin to smooth the heels or use a foot scrub after soaking the feet in lukewarm water. Apply a deep moisturizing lotion or Vaseline and put on the socks to cover it for sometime. This method will protect the feet from excessive dryness.

• You could also heat up some Coconut oil, add some wax into it and after cooling apply it onto your heels.
