Someone in my family has dry, cracked feet, and she has a hard time with it. I am going to send her this article on how to help soothe those dry, cracked feet and have her walking like Fred Flinstone again.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • One or Two socks
  • Vaseline
  1. Step 1

    If you have a family member, a sister for instance, that has really dry, cracked, smelly feet, then you can help her soothe those feet and have her feeling better right away. All you need is a jar of Vaseline.

  2. Step 2

    Just take the jar of Vaseline from your night stand and take your shoes and socks off. Take out a pair of socks that you don't mind getting Vaseline on for a little while. If you only have that cracked, dry foot on one foot, you'll only need one sock.

  3. Step 3

    Take a good swipe of the Vaseline and spread it all over your cracked, dry foot, Michelle.. oops. Make sure that you thoroughly clean that stinky foot first. If your foot has a lot of built up dirt and grime from walking barefoot, then scrub it with a scrub brush. Apply a generous amount of the Vaseline to the affected foot or feet. Put the sock(s)on and relax for a little while. After a couple of hours, take off the sock and you will see a remarkable difference. If your feet continue to smell, there is not much you can do.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you have a sister with feet like this, please feel free to refer them to this article.
