I come across the most stunning women. Perfectly done make-up, not a hair out of place, bags and clothes matched together but many a time if you look at their feet they seem neglected. I have always tried to make people understand that skin and hair care is not enough, you need to nurture and nourish every part of your body. Our feet carry the burden of of our daily lives from the moment we wake up until we sleep and keeping the same in mind I give out easy and fuss free home remedies for cracked heels.
Just as we need to keep our face and hair well nourished, we also need to keep our feet nourished and moisturized. A pedicure twice a month is a must especially if you mostly wear open sandals and chappals. Dead skin build up and dryness leads to cracked heels and it is essential to work on them when the skin starts feeling slightly hardened.
