How to make it

  1. Mix. Stir everything into a thick paste.
  2. Apply. Spread over clean heels and any rough spots.
  3. Wrap. Pull on cotton socks and wrap your feet in a warm blanket. Warmth helps everything soak in.
  4. Rinse. After 20-30 minutes, rinse with warm water and finish with a few drops of Hoba.

The most important thing for happy feet? Shoes that fit. Then water, a balanced diet and regular upkeep. Miracles in skincare are simple.

Patch test anything new on your inner forearm first. Skip any kitchen ingredient you are sensitive to, and keep food-based masques fresh: mix them right before you use them.
