  • Relaxation Time: Leave the lemons on your heels for about 30 minutes. Try to stay off your feet during this time to relax and let the lemon work its magic.
  • Remove and Notice the Difference: After 30 minutes, take off the socks and lemons. You’ll notice your feet feel softer and smell pleasantly of lemon.
  • Moisturize: Finally, apply a nourishing oil or cream to your feet to lock in the moisture.
  • Understanding the Causes of Cracked Heels:µ

  • Natural Dry Skin: Some individuals naturally have drier skin, making their feet more susceptible to cracking.

    Prolonged Standing: Standing for extended periods, especially on hard surfaces or in uncomfortable shoes, can increase heel pressure and lead to cracks.

    Obesity: Excessive weight can put additional pressure on the feet, causing the skin to expand and crack.

    Medical Conditions: Diseases like diabetes and thyroid disorders, as well as skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, can affect the skin’s oil production, leading to cracked heels.
