Are you troubled by dry and cracked heels? You are not the only one; this problem affects every second person. Moreover, in the summer months, when we wear sandals or flip-flops, dry heels are especially unpleasant. Forget the pumice stone and visits to the pedicurist. We have a way for you to get rid of them easily and quickly. And almost for free!
Aspirin for cracked heels? No, it’s not a joke
Summer is already here and with it came the change from closed footwear to open. And with that comes the need to care for our heels, since dry and cracked heels are not a very pleasant sight. How to deal with this aesthetic problem easily? Don’t despair, instead reach for the aspirin on the shelf! But not for your head. This time we will treat your heels with aspirin. What will you need?
- 4 crushed aspirin tablets
- alcohol
- cotton pad
- plastic wrap
Does that sound crazy? Maybe, but we promise you that once you try it, you won’t want to do it any other way. This method is actually more effective than soaking in water and the subsequent long scraping with a pumice stone. Crush four aspirin tablets and add 250 ml of alcohol. Put the resulting mixture in the fridge and let it sit for two days. During this time the aspirin will properly absorb the alcohol and exactly what we need will form.
Feet soft as after a salon visit
After two days the mixture is ready to use. Soak a cotton pad in it and apply it to the problematic area. Use more if necessary. Wrap the foot in plastic wrap. This is to gently steam the area and at the same time to keep the pads from falling off. Leave on overnight or at least six hours during the day.
Then remove the wrap and you will see that your feet are beautifully soft and smooth. Just like after a visit to the pedicurist. And it cost you almost nothing. Isn’t that great? For a long-lasting effect, rub your feet with your favorite moisturizing cream and put on cotton socks until the cream is absorbed.
