How to Moisturize Dry Feet

Rough, scaly feet are often the result of poorly cared-for feet. Going barefoot in the summer, cold, dry winters and neglect are all causes of dry, chapped feet. Rejuvenate the skin on your feet in a few easy steps and kiss rough, calloused heels goodbye.

Things You'll Need

• Warm water
• Mild soap
• Pumice stone
• Towels
• Lotion
• Petroleum jelly
• Plastic wrap

Instructions

1. Soak feet in warm water for ten minutes. Towel dry.

2. Scrub feet with a pumice stone. Spend extra time working skin that is very calloused and dry.

3. Rinse feet with water and wash with a mild soap. Dry feet thoroughly using a soft towel.

4. Rub your favorite moisturizer into your feet. Use a large amount of lotion and rub well.

5. Put a thick layer of petroleum jelly on top of the moisturizer. Work the petroleum jelly in well but leave a layer on top of the skin.

6. Wrap plastic wrap around your feet. Make certain to leave no skin exposed. Sleep with the plastic wrap on your feet.

7. Remove plastic wrap before showering in the morning. Wash feet using a mild soap. Dry and re-moisturize with your favorite lotion.

Tips & Warnings

• A professional pedicure is a great and relaxing way to have dead skin and callouses removed from feet.

• Repeat treatments until feet are soft and flake free.

• Use bag balm instead of petroleum jelly. Find it in the pet care section of your favorite store.

• Be careful when walking with plastic wrap on your feet as it is very slippery.
