What can i soak my cracked heels in to help moisturize the skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smooth feet: After you get your feet wet (shower bath or swimming). Take a pumice stone and rub back and forth over the hardened areas. You should see some skin flaking off. You can apply some COCO BUTTER lotion to your feet afterwards. Avoid going barefoot in common areas and check your feet daily and you'll be well on your way to healthy smooth beautiful feet.
