Simple Tips for Cracked Heels

  1. Day
    Apply a thick foot cream or moisturizer after bathing and before bed. Products containing urea, lactic acid, or salicylic acid can be especially helpful for very dry, thick skin.

  2. Wear Comfortable Shoes
    Shoes that fit properly can reduce pressure and friction around the heels. Avoid walking barefoot for long periods if your heels are badly cracked.

  3. Try Overnight Moisturizing
    Apply a thick moisturizer or petroleum jelly before bedtime and put on clean cotton socks.
