A heel balm is readily available as an OTC product. It usually contains all the required ingredients to moisturize and soften the dead skin, such as urea, salicylic acid, saccharide isomerate, etc. It is better to apply it in the morning before starting your day.
Apply a thick moisturizer:
Every night apply a thick moisturizer on your feet before going to sleep, with particular attention to your heels so that your heels get proper moisturizer and nutrition during the sleeping hours.
