How to heal dry, cracked feet


Dry, cracked feet. We've all been there ... and it's not a fun place to be. Not only does it make you not want to wear those really cute strapy sandals that you love, but excessively dry feet can lead to painful cracks in the heal.  This is a conditioned that is worsened by the summer heat and the skimpy foot wear we parade around in because of the warmer temps.


So, what can we do to fix this uncomfortable problem?


If you follow these easy tips, you will have soft, beautiful feet year round!


1. About an hour before bedtime, soak your feet in warm water for 15 minutes. After soaking, pat feet dry.  Soaking in warm water will help soften some of the dry skin that has built up and will assist in the following steps.


2.  Gently exfoliate feet with a foot paddle. Try to avoid using a pumice stone as it is easy to cut the foot when to much pressure is applied. Don't SCRUB your foot with the paddle. Simply use gentle back and forth motions in order to remove a light layer of the dry skin. I would suggest placing a paper towel or hand towel down before this step in order to catch any skin that is removed with the paddle.


3.  Apply a moderate layer of Heel-tastic (which we proudly carry here at Gallery Spa of Historic Roswell) to the foot, paying special attention to the dry and/or cracked areas gently massaging foot to help with absorption. Then slip on a clean, dry pair of socks. Not everyone is a fan of sleeping with their socks on (including myself) however, this is an important part of the process and can not be skipped. 


4.  Go to bed.


5.  When you get up in the morning, remove your socks and your feet should feel instantly softer. Repeat these steps nightly (for about a week) until your feet are soft and crack free. 


Once your feet have healed, repeat these steps once a week (or more if needed) in order to maintain your soft, smooth, beautiful feet.
