Dry, damaged skin is often the reason behind cracked heels. Since your feet carry your body's weight every day, a lack of moisture can lead to rough, painful cracks.

Don't worry—there are simple ways to restore softness and prevent further damage!

<h3>1. Stay Hydrated</h3>

Drinking 3–4 liters of water daily helps keep your skin from drying out, including the skin on your heels. Hydration from within is just as important as using creams!

<h3>2. Soak Your Feet</h3>

Soften rough skin by soaking your feet in warm water with a splash of lemon or lime juice. Relax for about 15 minutes before drying them thoroughly.

<h3>3. Gently Exfoliate</h3>

Use a pumice stone two to three times a week in the shower to slough off dead skin. Avoid scrubbing too hard—it's better to go gently and regularly.

<h3>4. Apply Petroleum Jelly</h3>

Before bedtime, apply a layer of petroleum jelly to your heels to lock in moisture. Wearing socks overnight can help it absorb better.

<h3>5. Use Heel Cream (Optional)</h3>

Specially formulated heel creams are great for extra hydration. Apply it up to three times a day to keep your skin smooth and crack-free.

Keep your feet protected and moisturized, and avoid walking barefoot for long periods. With regular care, your heels will feel soft, smooth, and ready to go wherever you do!
