As we get older, our bodies sometimes forget to cooperate with us. Common examples include losing flexibility, gaining weight or having your hair turn gray. These things really do not bother me, as I expected them to happen. What really bothers me the most is the little things, like having dry cracked heels.

If you have cracked skin on your feet, you know what I am talking about. Perhaps you have even tried a moisturizer for skin product, or three. If you are tired of having dry cracked skin on your feet, try the following steps each night before bed.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Stridex Pads
Vaseline
Socks

Step 1

Clean Your Heels With Stridex Pads – The first step is to really clean your feet well. Body soaps and lotions can leave a thin layer on your skin even when you think you have washed it all off. Thoroughly clean your dry cracked heels with a Stridex pad.
Step 2

Coat Your Feet Heels with Vaseline – Once you have let your feet air dry a bit, coat your heels with Vaseline. Any brand should do the trick. The key is to make sure you have liberally applied a thick coat to the areas that need the most attention.
Step 3

Put On Socks – Once you have coated your heels with Vaseline, put on a nice pair of socks. Make sure that they do not have any holes, as this will decrease your results. Repeat this process every night for a week and you should have noticeably softer heels.

Tips & Warnings

Be consistent in this process. You will not get rid of your dry cracked heels overnight!
It took my wife seven days to notice any changes. You may notice softer heels much faster or slower depending upon your starting position.
