Afraid to wear open shoes or sandals because of cracked heels?
Worry no more! And kiss your cracked heels
goodbye!
Cracked heels are due to dry skin and accumulated
dirt. There are other reasons such as psoriasis, exzema, athlete's foot etc.
The fissures in your heels become longer and rougher over time. And as
the skin thickens, it cracks. So while it is still early and you are still
young start caring for your heels. Going for foot spa may be costly so here’s a
little trick I would want to share with you.
Make a homemade foot scrub!
Homemade scrubs are practical and easy to prepare.
Plus you will be assured that your foot scrub is free from harsh chemicals and
preservatives.

oil- A few drops
Procedure:

white sugar in a bowl. Sugar is used as the base for this scrub. It is an
exfoliant,

the skin. It maintains the Ph balance of the skin to ensure moisture.

in a cool dry place. The mix should last you for 2 weeks
