Women are naturally fastidious about their appearance. Housewives, though coiffed in simple ponytail and tattered house dress make pains to put on a bra while at home, or flung a towel at their breasts while talking to strangers. Our nails we brush meticulously to make it glow. Our teeth we floss with thread or the more expensive 711 version. Our heels with pumice to rid ourselves of the unwanted sight of blackened cracked heels.
But cracked heels no matter how hard we rub it, stays and stays. Never a good sight, it is a sore to the eyes. It crosses social economic status. I once saw a middle aged woman who was shopping bedecked in bangles and rhinestones of good taste. She would have been a pleasure to my sight but ugh, her heels were deeply cracked. We were two ladies with the same ugly problem.
Until I saw a lady doctor guest of Oprah who, with Dr. Mehmet Oz gave this fool-proof lifetime solution: Rub salacylic acid on cracked heels quite sparingly. Do not splash generously ( as one is tempted to do) unless your threshold for pain is high. When dry, apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly. Stuff your feet in socks and sleep tight. Repeat for a week.
So what happens? The salicylic acid peels off the thick callous skin of your heels, exposing the cracks and lightening it. The petroleum jelly softens it and voila! Pink heels fit for a Victorian lady. And the remedy is a forever formula!
Now I feel beautiful in slippers, sandals, or barefoot. No cracked heels to spoil my legs!
