Dryness, flaking and cracking skin on the feet, especially the heels, are common signs of neglect that warrant our regular attention. We place a lot of physical demands on our feet daily, so reward them with a modicum of care. Pampering your feet is also a great way to relieve stress at the end of a long day. Let your feet soak in warm water that’s infused with essential oils or herbal ingredients for 10 to 20 minutes, and then towel dry. Apply a good moisturizing lotion and massage your feet (or better yet, have someone else do it for you) to increase circulation. At bedtime, apply a vitamin enriched moisturizing cream or petroleum jelly and cover your feet with socks. In the morning, your feet will look and feel much softer. For the ultimate in foot care, look for a unique self-heating exfoliating product that will smooth and moisturize your well-deserving feet.
