    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.

    I’ve been seeing the late night commercials for Heel Tastic for the last several weeks.

    I’ve been fighting with cracked and super dry heels for one or two years now. It seems as if regardless of what product, lotion, cream, gels nothing appears to work. When I saw Heel Tastic I had to order it and give it a go. I adore how its convenient packed also. I do not have to lay my hands all oily. I am able to keep this on my night stand and use it before bed really easy. I saw my heels get softer and smoother in just days. I was so dazzled. I also even started to use it on my elbows as there dry too. I believe dry skin for me is something I tussle with. I’m living in a cold state and once it becomes warm outside I wear flip flops all summer long. Which helps to contribute a touch to how cracked my heels do get. Heel tastic has been such a great product. I have using files and other products to help scrap of the dead cracked skin. All I am getting left with has been more cracked skin then when I initially began using the files. I tried to use lotions at night and putting a sock on and still nothing took away the dryness or the cracked skin.

    The 1st night I began to use Heel Tastic I woke up the subsequent morning feel my heel and was blown away. I could not believe how incredible it worked.

    I literally could not believe it. I had to have my partner touch my feet. He would never of even touched my feet before but he saw that my heels were so smooth that he was really impressed. I kept using Heel Tastic and over the next few days the results got even better. I am so pleased I saw the commercial on telly and ordered the product. I would recommend this product to anybody that suffers from dry cracked skin!
