-
Why It Works: The moisturizing properties of Vaseline combined with the exfoliating effect of lemon juice can help heal and soften dry, cracked heels.
- How to Use:
- Before bed, mix Vaseline with lemon juice and apply it generously to your heels.
- Put on a pair of socks to lock in the moisture and leave it on overnight.
- Wash your feet in the morning, and repeat this process a few times a week for softer, healthier heels.
Caution:
- Test First: Lemon juice is acidic and can cause irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Always do a patch test on a small area of skin before using the mixture on larger areas.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Lemon juice can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so avoid sun exposure immediately after using these treatments or apply them in the evening.
