hi,

Very good tips but not always easy to follow .Im too lazy to first soak,scrub and clean.Oflate i have tried the footcream of amway and it worked wonders for me. I now use the cream regularly after having bath and in the night, I use pumice stone to clean my feet everyday during bath and not very frequently.

hi manjula, bangalore wether is very dry no humidity and tends to make the skin very rough and lips to chap...i felt this while i was in bangalore and most of my time was spent to rejuvenate my skin since i have a dry skin... but i went the natural way , than for quick fixes..
for your chapped lips apply almond oil ( in india you get this hamdard rogan shirin badam oil i used to apply that brand there ), apply it in the night its very good .. or anytime you feel dry.. this oil is not sticky like coconut oil oil anyother or if not this you can apply olive , avacado oil( even these are not that sticky) best brand for avacado oil is biotic..... this is a natural way, and really good.. hope this info will be useful to you ...

a must read for those with cracked feet ...

do not try any cream just like that without knowing the content in it or without any drematologist's approval!!! petroleum jelly if thats what you mean by vaseline then its very bad !! i big no! no! do not apply them ... himalaya creams are banned as far as i know due to some reasons i remember its because it has lead in it... in short do not apply any creams or jelly ...( believe me i dont and my cracked feet are now turned into soft pink clean feet ... )

everything what is told as ayurvedic need not be ayurvedic ... companys fool people in the name of ayurveda!!! dont be carried away ... especially when you have a cracked feet creams can go in from the cracks and enter the blood stream... be cautious while using the creams ...the best are oils... see below...

i had terribly cracked feet... especially in winter while i was in bangalore... they used to bleed ... but now i have no problems .... i would like to share what i did for this one..

first of all soak your feet in warm water with few drops of dettol or any other anteseptic cleanser for about 15 min to remove all the dirt ( do this twice a week or when you walk a lot or have exposed it to much dirt and dust but too much soaking will make skin soft so do it when really required. )

clean them and put a band aid to the cracked heal or the specific cracks which are deep and wear socks ... everyday day till the cracks are heeled .. so that while you roam around dirt dont enter ...

for the rest of the area( without bandaid) aplly avacado or olive oil( better option than cream since they are natural) if you dont have this you can apply even coconut oil ... main purpose is to moisturize... and wear a socks ... clean socks!!! for about a month do this .. ( wearing socks is a must for all the people who have cracked feet dont leave them open)

and while having bath see that you scrub your feet with a brush not a hard one so that the feet are clean ..
i have a dry skin and have a greater tendency to cracked feet ... so i always wear a socks at home after the bath ... so that when i go out my legs look good.... ( for people with a tendency to cracked feet , should take care to see that they dont keep feet more exposed to dirt and dryness... so clean it apply oil and wear socks to enhance the skin there)

once you feel that your feet are recovering and cracks are heeled ...you can do a home made pedicure once in a while .. for this as usual soak the feet in warm water but now put proper amount of milk cream( malai) and soak for 10 -15 min then scrub it with sugar and honey or sugar and butter for smooth feel for 10 min then rub it with with hot towel .. and apply oil and wear a socks!!! ( i feel socks will be a part of your dress , after reading this article)

so in brief ....whenever am at home i cleanse my feet scrub them ...if needed apply bandaid if cracks are deep .. apply oil and wear socks ... while going out my legs look damm good now.... this really really works .. you must try it out...

feet hygiene is real important keep your feet and nails clean

Hi all

for easy heeling of cracked heels ,do try applying the onion paste overnt n wash it off the next mng.within 2-3 days u find the difference.its better to tie a plastic bandage or a cover after applying the paste so tht it doesnt spread on the bed cover

bye
