Soaking your feet is the first step in soothing dry skin, and it's easy to concoct an effective foot soak from simple ingredients. Add a cup of honey to a gallon or warm water and soak your feet for 10 to 15 minutes. If your feet are seriously dry, you may want to soak them even longer.
Honey's natural enzymes help speed up healing and bind moisture to your skin. If you need to clip or file your nails, do it before you soak; your nails will be soft after your soak. Soaking your feet helps improve circulation. Because poor circulation is one of the causes of dry skin, regular foot soaks can help prevent dry skin.
Use a loofah, foot scrubber, or pumice stone to remove any hard, thick skin. Gently pat your feet dry. Apply a heel balm or thick moisturizer (olive or coconut oil) to the affected area. Apply unpetroleum jelly over your feet to lock in moisture.
Rub unpetroleum jelly generously all over your feet, massaging the thick jelly between your toes, all over your heels and on top of your feet. Unpetroleum jelly moisturizes your feet and seals the moisture inside your skin to promote healing. Have a pair of socks handy to put on so you don't slip--petroleum jelly is slippery. Do this before you go to bed so you can let the unpetroleum jelly work overnight, then rinse your feet completely in the morning.
