Start by washing your feet properly and thoroughly. Then soak them in comfortably hot water for about 10 minutes. You can add a few drops of vitamin E oil to this water for better results. Remove from the hot water and pat dry. Then, apply a thick layer of pure vitamin E oil to your feet and encase them in thick cotton socks. It is better to follow this routine at night. That way, you will not be interfering with the process of hydration that will be taking place all night on your feet. If you cannot buy pure vitamin E oil, you also have several alternatives that can be used. Mustard oil is highly effective in taking care of cracked and dry skin. You can also use olive oil for good results. Clarified butter is also an excellent remedial substance to use for this particular ailment. But it will give off some smell, so you need to be aware and ready about that too. It is also better to use cotton socks.

You should always wear protective footwear. This is particularly important if you are walking on hard surfaces continually.

You should also make it a routine to wash and oil your feet each night before going to bed. For the day, you can buy a light grease free cream off the shelf and use that.
