Are your feet not in the best shape right now? That can be easily fixed. IF you have a lemon, a banana, a little vegetable oil and vaseline available, you are saved. This arsenal will put your heels back in order!
Summer is slowly retreating and with it the season of open shoes. Are you thinking that you finally won’t have to spend so much time on foot care? Of course, small pedicure flaws are hidden by socks, but what about your cracked heels? There’s no question of comfort with them! Fortunately, there are home remedies for quick repair that promise the best results. Which will you prefer?
Lemon nourishing mask with a rosy touch
For this recipe you will need a teaspoon of lemon juice, the same amount of pure glycerin (you can find it in drugstores or online) and a teaspoon of rose water. MIXING the mentioned ingredients creates a nourishing mask which you apply to your feet, slip into cotton socks and leave on overnight. In the morning rinse your feet with lukewarm water.
Vegetable oil, an accessible help
You can safely entrust your feet to THIS common kitchen ingredient.
Oil almost immediately softens dry heels, and additionally removes dead skin cells.
“Use it as a ‘lubricant’ to rub and gently massage the affected areas. For optimal results, repeat this treatment several times.”
Banana? It’s not just for eating
Did you know that for treating damaged heels you can actually use any fruit? But specifically, banana has strong healing properties. Ripe banana flesh removes dead skin, repairs imperfections and softens hardened skin. Just place a piece of the fruit on the “crime scene” and wait about ten minutes. The effect will be amazing!
Paraffin wax, a cosmetic miracle
Paraffin wax is one of the best agents for treating feet. IF you don’t know where to get something like that, we recommend looking in online shops. There you can choose from many variants. Once you have it at hand, combine it with coconut oil, heat the mixture and melt it in a pan. Once it cools, rub the “cream” into your heels and let it do its job, ideally overnight.
Vaseline with lemon, a guarantee of success
Before you start this procedure, make sure your feet are perfectly clean, i.e., free of dirt. Then mix a teaspoon of vaseline with lemon juice and rub the mixture into the skin. What doesn’t absorb, wash off after twenty minutes with water.
