Step 2: Soak Your Foot

Warm water + Epsom salt (which contains baking soda and the essential oils of aloe vera, coconut, and peppermint. Epsom is easily available to buy on Amazon or Flipkart or any e-commerce portal) + Essential oil or Milk

Immerse your feet for 20 minutes. Soaking heels in warm water with Epsom salt and milk will repair, rejuvenate, and remove the dead skin cells prevailing in between the cracked skin on heels.

Step 3: Exfoliating Or Scrubbing

Soaking your feet in a warm water solution will facilitate the process of exfoliation. Use a pumice stone or a foot filler to scrape off the dirt and dead skin on the soles of your feet, particularly your heels. Scrub your feet for 5 minutes. Also, clean the nails and cuticles. Once done, wash it off with cold water.

Step 4: Pat Dry And Moisturize 

Avoid rubbing with a towel0; instead, pat it gently, followed by moisturizer. In order to moisturize your stiff and cracked heels, look for a lotion that has urea or lactic acid as a component. Or you can use the malai present in the milk.
