Candle-Soaked Foot Care for Cracked Heels

Light the candle and hold it over the heatproof bowl until a small amount of wax melts. Never apply hot wax directly to the skin—it should be warm, not burning.

Prepare Your Feet:
Soak your feet in warm water for 10–15 minutes to soften the skin. Gently dry them.

Exfoliate:
Use a pumice stone or foot file to gently remove dead, rough skin from your heels.

Apply Warm Wax (Optional):
If the wax is at a safe, warm temperature, dip your heels quickly into the wax or brush a thin layer on. The warmth helps the skin absorb moisture and relaxes the tissues.

Moisturize:
Immediately after wax treatment, massage a thick layer of cream or oil onto your heels. This locks in hydration.

Protect Overnight:
Put on clean cotton socks and leave them on while you sleep to allow the moisturizer to penetrate deeply.

Repeat:
You can repeat this process nightly for a few days. Most people notice significant softening and reduced cracks after just 24 hours of consistent care.

✅ Tips:

Always test wax temperature on your wrist first to avoid burns.

For extra softness, mix a few drops of essential oils like lavender or tea tree into the moisturizer.

Consistent nightly care keeps heels smooth and prevents cracks from returning.
