An inexpensive and effective home remedy for hard heels

DIY footcare – a cheap and cheerful remedy for hard heels

A long summer of fit flops and flip flops takes its toll on the feet with dryness and hardened heels two of the most noticeable symptoms. For me, a cure in the form of Nivea and cotton socks has proved inexpensive and surprisingly effective. Don’t be tempted to try this without the socks – it’s bound to be messy!

I started the treatment on Friday evening with a quick salt scrub exfoliation, foot file, followed by a thick application of Nivea, then socks on, and a good night’s sleep. I applied more Nivea in the morning and wore the socks all day then applied another treatment with the Nivea on Saturday night. By Sunday morning I had a noticeable improvement in skin texture and softness. It’s enough to make me keep up the treatment – at least at night – on an ongoing basis.
