Dry, damaged skin is often the reason behind cracked heels. Since your feet carry your body's weight every day, a lack of moisture can lead to rough, painful cracks.

Don't worry—there are simple ways to restore softness and prevent further damage!

1. Stay Hydrated

Drinking 3–4 liters of water daily helps keep your skin from drying out, including the skin on your heels. Hydration from within is just as important as using creams!

2. Soak Your Feet

Soften rough skin by soaking your feet in warm water with a splash of lemon or lime juice. Relax for about 15 minutes before drying them thoroughly.

3. Gently Exfoliate

Use a pumice stone two to three times a week in the shower to slough off dead skin. Avoid scrubbing too hard—it's better to go gently and regularly.

4. Apply Petroleum Jelly

Before bedtime, apply a layer of petroleum jelly to your heels to lock in moisture. Wearing socks overnight can help it absorb better.

5. Use Heel Cream (Optional)

Specially formulated heel creams are great for extra hydration. Apply it up to three times a day to keep your skin smooth and crack-free.

Keep your feet protected and moisturized, and avoid walking barefoot for long periods. With regular care, your heels will feel soft, smooth, and ready to go wherever you do!
