I said Heal!

The smell of Spring is in the air. Spring break & vacations for a lot of ladies. It's funny how everyone takes great care of their hair, makeup, nails. and ooops -what happened to your feet? Not my favorite topic, the foot, the feet. So let's get it over with today.
Ladies & Gentlemen who care, take your socks off right now. Look at your dogs. Do they have more crust than a loaf of bread? I am here to help and suggest a few things that will soften your heels and your calloused feet.
Things you will need: Foot bath, Epsom salts, pumice stone, Glytone heel & elbow cream, warm to hot water, pair of cotton socks. To be done at bedtime only.
Soak your feet in the foot bath filled with 1-2 cups Epsom salts for about 15-20min. Then take a pumice to the bottom of your soles, apply Glytone heel and elbow cream, if extra dry apply Cetaphil cream over the Glytone cream before applying socks. Sleep with socks on and in am, shower off creams. Then day time use a moisturizer to maintain your dry feet.
Glytone contains glycolic/fruit acids that will help exfoliate the dry skin and turn over dead skin cells. Epsom salts which contain magnesium can help improve health and immune function. Soaking in Epsom salt bath is a safe and easy way to elevate the body's levels of magnesium and sulfate.
small FYI; In Summer when you get mosquito bites-take 2 tbsp Epsom salt in a cup of water, mix and put on a washcloth and apply the compress to the area. It will decrease inflammation.
Here's to happy feet and prettier feet in the future. This little jar will last at least 8 weeks, apply thin layer with each application, more on heavier callouses. If using on Elbows, apply for 15min then rinse off or irritation will arise. The soles of the feet have the thickest skin and can tolerate an overnight application.
I hope this is helpful! Take care and have a great night.
