I recently  began a new fitness journey with Girl Trek. Every day I walk and jog for a minimum of 30 minutes. At the end of the day my feet are tired, dry and sore. When skin gets really dry it can break open and crack. Most of us are good at keeping our skin moisturized, but we often neglect our feet, out of sight, out of mind. This can lead to cracked heels that include dark or yellowing skin, calluses and flaky patches of skin. This special promotion sent to me from Aquaphor was an extra special treat. At bed time my feet are now craving the soft, comfy socks and the Aquaphor treatment cream. I gave myself a home pedicure by following three simple steps:

•       Step 1: Soak

Your feet get the most use and abuse. Take 10-20 minutes ever few weeks to pamper them in a soak of lukewarm water with a few drops of gentle liquid soap. Try out sister brands: Eucerin Gentle Hydrating Cleanser. Soaking your feet helps to soften the skin and will make the next step easier.

•       Step 2: Exfoliate

Once the skin on your feet has been softened from the soak, dip a pumice stone into the water and rub it lightly back-and-forth across the rough patches on your feet for about 30 seconds. Dip the pumice stone back in the water and repeat on the other foot. When finished, dip both feet back in the water to remove the excess skin.

•       Step 3: Moisturize

Now that you’ve softened your feet and removed some of the dead skin, it’s important that you properly moisturize the new layers of skin that have been exposed. Apply a generous amount of Aquaphor Healing Ointment, cover your feet with plush socks and sleep in them overnight. You’ll love the way your feet feel in the morning and will vow to make this a part of your regular routine!
