Revitol Stretchmark Cream

A ten minute sugar scrub spa treatment can turn those callused and cracked heels  into soft and supple tootsies and help you relax the stress away as you massage your feet. Sugar scrubs contain alpha hydroxyl acids that can help dissolve away the dead, dry skin and polish your feet until they come out soft, smooth and supple. Sugar is a powerful exfoliate that can bring your feet back from the point of no return. Treating yourself to nice foot massage can also help you relax, relieving you from the stress that comes along with modern living leaving you feeling refreshed and relaxed.

In as little as ten minutes, you will be getting “on the good foot” and feel as though “Papa’s got a brand new bag” with great looking feet that you will be proud to show off to anyone who cares to see them. This foot treatment is just as relaxing and rejuvenating for men as it is for women helping your feet feel more comfortable as you rid yourself of all of that hard, dry skin.

What you need:

A natural sugar scrub

It is best to find an all natural sugar scrub that contains granulated or cane sugar along with a foaming soap cleanser that can help soften and polish the feet. Only a scrub that contains pure sugar will have the all important alpha hydroxyl acid which will help dissolve the dry, hardened flaky skin.

A good moisturizer

A rich body butter or cream made from natural oils is the best type of moisturizer for your feet. Shea Butter, olive oil, soybean oil or sunflower oils are the best types of oil bases to look for. Good natural based oils will fully absorb into your skin and help condition your feet to prevent further drying out.

How to bring your feet back from the dead

First: Exfoliate

Take a good quarter sized dap of sugar scrub and with a little water, massage it into your feet working it into a creamy lather. Massage your feet for about two minutes.

Next: Rinse

Make sure to get all the foamy lather off

Third: Dry

Use a towel to thoroughly dry your feet

Now: Moisturize

Massage your body butter or cream of choice into your feet, letting them soak up the moisture. Moisturizing is important after exfoliation in order to keep your skin from drying out too quickly.

Hopefully this treatment will help turn your dry, cracked feet into something much more presentable. Depending how bad your cracked heels are, a good sugar scrub followed by a heaping helping of moisturizer should help cure your problem after several applications. Be sure to keep it up twice a week until your feet feel smooth, soft and supple.

The secret to soft feet is moisture. The single most thing you can do to help your feet is lotion them at least once a day after a shower. Lotions and creams provide moisture and penetrate deep into the skin. Your feet should show improvement within several weeks. Jergen’s Shea Butter lotion is very moisturizing and absorbs into the skin. If your skin is very dry, apply lotion to your feet several times a day. You may not need to do this as often during the summer. For products that specifically target dry feet try Kerasil. Kerasil is an ointment that comes in a tube. It absorbs into the skin so well no one will even know you have dry skin. Kerasil is very effective but can get costly over time. Petroleum jelly is inexpensive and it works wonders on rough, dry feet. Before bedtime, put a generous amount of petroleum jelly over the entire surface of your feet, including between your toes. Then wrap both of your feet in saran wrap. Put cotton socks over the saran wrap. When you wake up in the morning, your feet will be noticeably softer. Repeat this process as much as necessary until your feet become baby soft.

Battling Dry Skin With Oils

Oils are great at sealing in moisture. Mix a capful of coconut oil with 1 quart of water to your foot basin and soak feet for 15 minutes. The oil will make your feet silky smooth instantly. You can also use olive oil. While oils have the ability to soften your tootsies within moments, it is important to remember that their purpose is to seal in moisture. Oils should only be used on wet feet so the oil can seal in the water. Applying oil to dry skin will not help at all and will actually block moisture from your skin.

Battling Dry Skin With Temperature

Temperature has a lot to do with how dry your feet are. For example, during the winter our feet are noticeably dryer than they are in the summer. Heat can also dry out your skin. Turning on the heat during the winter is comforting but very drying to your skin. This is because the heat sucks up all moisture in the air. One way to replace the lost moisture is to get a humidifier. Humidifiers provide moisture by releasing water droplets into the air. A cheaper option is to wear socks even while sleeping during the winter. The socks will protect your feet and prevent them from being exposed to dry air.
