Nothing fancy. Nothing expensive. But when used correctly, it really works .
Step 1: Therapeutic Bath
Fill the container with lukewarm water, never hot.
Soak your feet for 10–15 minutes .
Softens hardened skin and prepares the heel for exfoliation.
Step 2: Gentle (painless) peeling
Using a pumice stone or file:
- Gently rub your heels
- Do not try to remove the skin.
- Do not use blades.
The goal is to remove only dead skin , not thin the heel.
Step 3: Proper drying
Dry your feet with a clean towel, being careful not to rub them too hard.
Make sure there is no moisture between your toes.
Step 4: Deep Moisturize (Key Step)
Apply a thick layer of Vaseline , especially on:
- Heels

Vaseline acts as a sealant , retaining moisture within the skin.

Put on cotton socks and leave them on overnight.
