Would you believe that what you need to heal your feet can be found right in your kitchen? Some basic, everyday cooking items can be combined to make great moisturizers. Check out the 6 ways you can treat your cracked feet from home.
1. Moisturize. To keep the skin on your feet from cracking, Medical News Today says to be sure you moisturize them. Coconut oil and shea butter are great moisturizers, so Home Remedies for Life combines in a double boiler 3 tablespoons of beeswax, 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1/4 cup shea butter. Melt these together over medium heat, stirring until they are thoroughly mixed. Once mixed, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Then put the ingredients in the blender and add 10 drops of oregano essential oil and 10 drops of peppermint essential oil. Mix them and then put it in a jar. Apply this cream to your feet once a day.
2. Petroleum jelly. At night, Medical News Today recommends applying petroleum jelly to help lock in moisture. Be sure to cover your feet at night to help keep the jelly in place.
3. Cotton. Medical News Today says to use cotton socks to cover your feet. They’re great for putting on if you use petroleum jelly at night or when wearing shoes. Cotton is best because they allow your feet to breathe and don’t trap the sweat in.
