Think of foot cream as a moisturiser. You won't apply your moisturiser without cleaning your face, would you? In the same way, it is really important to clean your feet before applying foot cream. Use a gentle body wash and thoroughly massage your feet to get rid of all the dust and dirt.

Cracked heels are nothing but an accumulation of dead skin cells, and therefore it is really important to exfoliate your feet at least twice a week. You can either use any one of these DIY foot scrub recipes or simply use a pumice stone to buff away all that dead skin. Caution: be very gentle or you could end up hurting your skin.

Next, apply a foot cream. Take a coin-sized amount of the foot cream and massage it into your feet using a circular motion. Massaging the cream into your feet will improve circulation and promote faster healing.
