Cracked heel alternative cures 

Cracked heels occur commonly when you have excessively dry skin. They also appear when you walk bare feet over rough ground. Of the best known and oldest remedies for this problem is to soak your feet in warm soapy water, wash them and then apply unsalted butter to them.


You can then wear socks and leave this overnight or all day. This would need to be done for at least a week to show results. Once the problem of cracked heels is taken care of, you can make it a daily habit to leave natural glycerin on your feet overnight.


This will help preserve the elasticity of your skin and keep your feet looking younger and healthier for years. Mash an over-ripe banana and blend it well with olive oil. Apply and leave this on for at least two to three hours. Wash with soap and warm water and apply a thin layer of olive oil afterwards. This will go a long way towards softening your feet. Repeat this for at least two weeks for it to show results. Follow a weekly regimen of exfoliating your feet with a scrub or a loofah. This will help remove dead skin cells from your feet regularly.
