Wake Up With Brand New Feet.

Our feet take a beating. Between walking all day and being stuffed into shoes, the heels and soles are often the first places to get rough, cracked, and dry. Regular lotion is usually too thin to repair this kind of tough skin. You need an overnight intervention.

Nighttime is when your body goes into repair mode. You can supercharge this process with a simple trick that turns your sleep into a spa treatment.

The Sock Trick.

Before you get into bed, take a generous amount of body butter and massage it into your feet, focusing heavily on the heels. Don’t rub it all the way in—leave a thick layer sitting on the skin. Then, put on a pair of thick cotton socks.

“It’s not just about moisture; it’s about heat. The socks trap your body heat, opening up the pores and forcing the butter to soak in deep.”

The Morning Reveal.

Sleep with the socks on. The heat helps the shea butter penetrate the thick skin on your soles. When you wake up and take the socks off, you won’t believe how soft your feet are. Do this two nights in a row, and those cracks doesn’t stand a chance.
