Dry, cracked feet are never sexy. While this tends to be a summer hazard, it can happen all year-round. If you can't afford a fish pedicure, get rid of dry heel syndrome with this 5-step process I cobbled together and use myself from time-to-time.

You can skip parts of this process if you choose. If you continue to wear the foot mask every night for a week, your problems should be solved.

Here's How:

  Soak feet for 5-10 minutes in a warm foot bath made with 1 cup milk and 5 cups warm water.

  Create a homemade foot scrub by putting 4 tablespoons salt or sugar in 1/2 cup oil. 

  Massage the homemade foot scrub in a circular motion into bottoms of feet.

  Scrub bottoms of feet with the pumice stone. Rinse and dry feet.

  Apply moisturizer thickly on feet. A super-rich moisturizer like cocoa butter, Eucerin  or even Vaseline works best.

For even better results, apply a thin layer of Keralyt Gel, an OTC salicylic acid, on your feet along with a dollop of Vaseline.
