Hydrogen peroxide is amazing chemical drug. It is able to completely dissolve and destroy microbes. Peroxide can be added to a warm foot bath (a bottle for one basin), you can wipe the foot with peroxide and then actively clean it with a pumice stone. The procedure must be performed only on clean feet and be attentive to deep cracks in the heels, since contact with peroxide can cause pain. Peroxide can make skin soft and smooth.

Heel care with glycerin

Glycerin has unique properties for maximum softening of the skin. The antiseptic qualities of the substance guarantee the healing of wounds and cracks on the heels. After a hot bath and pumice stone, it is recommended to apply a layer of glycerin on the heels and put on socks. With regular use, your heels will become smooth and soft.

If neither a hot bath nor a cream helps to remove rough skin, you should use radical methods. Such as, for example, depilatory cream. This unusual tool allows you to quickly soften the skin on the heels and clean it off with any brush. Such cleaning can be carried out before an urgent “publication”, when an instant result is needed. Apply the cream on the heels, put on your socks and sit like this for 20 minutes, then walk with a pumice stone and moisturize with the cream.
