Due to the weather going from winter to summer, the skin is getting affected a lot. This season is not only affecting the skin of the face but the hands and feet are also getting damaged due to the wind and strong sunlight blowing in this season.
This weather makes the skin dry, due to which the skin starts cracking. On the face and hands, we repeatedly apply moisturizer or cream etc. to reduce its dryness, but many times we ignore the feet.
Especially on the ankles, we do not pay much attention, due to which they start to crack. However, this problem can be minimized with a little care during this season.
You will find many creams etc. for cracked heels in the market, but if you share a simple foot care routine at home, you will get more benefits sooner. So let us tell you about this foot care routine.
Foot soak
First of all, you have to prepare the foot soak. Generally, people use alum, but in this season your heels will start cracking even more because alum has healing properties, but it also dries the skin. That's why you should heat the water and add salt and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to it. After this, keep your feet dipped in this water for 10 to 15 minutes.
Scrub feet
After this, you should also scrub the ankles. It is easy to remove the dead skin deposited on the heels after a foot soak. For this, you can prepare a scrub at home with curd and oats. Scrub the ankles thoroughly with this scrub for 5 minutes and then wash the feet.
Massage with milk
After the scrub, massage the feet with a mixture of honey and milk. Let us tell you that the combination of honey and milk is a very good natural moisturizer. Massage cracked heels with this mixture for at least 10 minutes. After this, wash your feet once again with water.
Use Aloe Vera gel
In the last step of the foot care routine, you have to wipe the feet with a towel and then apply aloe vera gel and rest the feet for some time.
You should do this foot care treatment on such a day when you do not have to leave the house and you can give rest to the feet. You can pamper your heels with this method anytime in the morning or at night.
