Sandal season is upon us and we’re pretty excited about getting those toes out! But after a long winter, it’s not just bright white legs that can be bothersome. All those months in boots and thick socks (and, to be honest, the slight carelessness that comes with them) can lead to thick, cracked heels and general dryness.
Sandal shy? Try these homemade foot treatments that will get you ready for your spring pedi in no time.

very nice website and informative
I work in heels from 6h-10h, 5 days a week. Lord knows my feet need tender loving care. That banana foot mask is happening soon!! :D
Hey Daria! Definitely need this post. I finally went and got my my first pedicure in I think 11 months (eek) last week and it was much needed. But my heels still need some love, so I think cracked heel salve might be my savior. I’m gonna try it out.
Thanks!!
