How to Get Rid of Rough Dry Heels at Home the DIY Way on the Cheap

I tend to go barefoot a lot in the summer months, so by fall my heels are rough, dry and sometimes cracked.

You could go to get a pedicure and they will help to remove some of it, but I found you need a bit of a routine that works and save you money on treatments!

What You Will Need:

1.  Heavy moisturizing cream (of your choice)

2.  Clean white cotton socks

3.  Foot Rasp (emery board for feet!)

4.  Foot Bath, bowl or simply soak in the tub or have a hot shower!

Method:

Best time of day?  EVENING when you are done for the day.

Hopefully you have most of these items at home, but if not, they are a good investment if you want to keep your feet and especially your heels soft and supple.

I use this method all the time, and not only are my feet soft and smooth, it feels awesome!  So, allow yourself a little bit of pamper time for this in the evening.

Step 1.  Fill your foot bath, tub, or simply take a long hot shower.  Whatever method you choose to get your feet into some water for at least 15 minutes.

You can also get a shower foot scrubber/massage online with Amazon to speed up the process!

Rub them with the foot rasp, and rinse.

Step 2.  Dry with a fluffy towel.  You can also choose to do a pedicure at this point, but if your heels and soles of your feet are the object, then simply soak for 15 minutes, rasp, rinse and dry well.

Step 3.  While slightly damp, rub in a lot of moisturizing cream, and give your feet a good massage.

***NOTE*** Have the cotton socks ready beside you so you don't have to hobble around on one foot full of cream trying to find them!

Step 4.  Put on your sock.

Step 5.  Repeat for 2nd foot.

Step 6.  Go to bed with socks on.  By morning take them off and they will feel good and your feet will have absorbed the cream.

Repeat Often...

This not only helps your heels and soles of your feet to get rid of hard dry skin, but feels awesome and you will sleep like a baby!
