The Sugar Heel Gang: using a sugar spa treatment to heal your cracked and dry heels

by Rae and Mark — published on January 25th, 2010

A ten minute sugar scrub spa treatment can turn those callused and cracked heels into soft and supple tootsies and help you relax the stress away as you massage your feet. Sugar scrubs contain alpha hydroxyl acids that can help dissolve away the dead, dry skin and polish your feet until they come out soft, smooth and supple. Sugar is a powerful exfoliate that can bring your feet back from the point of no return. Treating yourself to nice foot massage can also help you relax, relieving you from the stress that comes along with modern living leaving you feeling refreshed and relaxed.

In as little as ten minutes, you will be getting “on the good foot” and feel as though “Papa’s got a brand new bag” with great looking feet that you will be proud to show off to anyone who cares to see them. This foot treatment is just as relaxing and rejuvenating for men as it is for women helping your feet feel more comfortable as you rid yourself of all of that hard, dry skin.

What you need:

A natural sugar scrub

It is best to find an all natural sugar scrub that contains granulated or cane sugar along with a foaming soap cleanser that can help soften and polish the feet. Only a scrub that contains pure sugar will have the all important alpha hydroxyl acid which will help dissolve the dry, hardened flaky skin.

A good moisturizer

A rich body butter or cream made from natural oils is the best type of moisturizer for your feet. Shea Butter, olive oil, soybean oil or sunflower oils are the best types of oil bases to look for. Good natural based oils will fully absorb into your skin and help condition your feet to prevent further drying out.

How to bring your feet back from the dead

First: Exfoliate

Take a good quarter sized dap of sugar scrub and with a little water, massage it into your feet working it into a creamy lather. Massage your feet for about two minutes.

Next: Rinse

Make sure to get all the foamy lather off

Third: Dry

Use a towel to thoroughly dry your feet

Now: Moisturize

Massage your body butter or cream of choice into your feet, letting them soak up the moisture. Moisturizing is important after exfoliation in order to keep your skin from drying out too quickly.

Hopefully this treatment will help turn your dry, cracked feet into something much more presentable. Depending how bad your cracked heels are, a good sugar scrub followed by a heaping helping of moisturizer should help cure your problem after several applications. Be sure to keep it up twice a week until your feet feel smooth, soft and supple.

Warts do not pose any health risks but they are generally unwanted as they are unsightly and can be a nuisance.

Medical professionals often recommend a treatment called Condylox. This is very effective but it can causing a stinging sensation to the skin and causes some pain.

Another option is to buy a cream that can be bought from a chemist or a superstore. Many such items are available to buy but you need to be sure to purchase a reputable brand name and follow instructions carefully.

Alternatively you can mix up your own natural treatment formula at home. Such natural treatments are very cost effective and work well. For this reason natural home treatments are sharply increasing in popularity. One such home treatment for example, is to cover the area with raw onion a number of times each day.
