Advertisement
For many people, especially in arid locations or during colder months, dry, cracked feet can be a continual annoyance. Natural and efficient way to soften and mend callused, rough feet is banana peels. Banana peels are quite good for treating dry and cracked soles because of their high moisture content and nouraging qualities. First, give your feet careful cleaning and then dry them. Take a ripe banana peel and gently massage the inner side over your foot, focusing especially on cracked heels and rough areas. The peel's natural oils and enzymes will encourage healing and assist to soften the skin. You may make a banana peel foot mask for a more focused therapy. Mash the inner side of numerous banana peels, then stir with a spoonful of honey and several lemon juice drops. Driest regions should be especially targeted when liberally applying this combination to your foot. To keep the mixture in place, cover your feet with plastic wrap or don some socks. Wear this mask for 20 to 30 minutes then rinse with warm water. While the lemon juice gives mild exfoliation, the honey in this concoction functions as a natural humectant, bringing moisture into the skin. Making a banana peel foot soak is yet another great way. Warm water should be filling a basin; add crushed banana peels and a cup of milk. While the banana peels supply nutrition, the lactic acid in the milk helps to soften coarse skin. After soaking your feet in this combination for 15 to 20 minutes, gently pumice stone your feet to eliminate any loosened dead skin. Before slink in a heavy moisturizer, rinse and pat your feet dry. An overnight banana peel treatment can be quite successful for people struggling with really tough dry regions or cracked heels. Rub the inside side of a banana peel over your feet before bed, focusing especially on trouble areas. To keep the banana residue in touch with your skin over night, then wrap your feet in plastic wrap or don a pair of socks. Rinse your feet first thing in the morning then moisturize them. This overnight treatment gives strong hydration and healing by letting the nutrients from the banana peel thoroughly into the skin. Over time, regular application of these banana peel treatments will greatly help dry and cracked feet to become better. Though most individuals find banana peels to be safe and efficient, some may have allergic responses. Before treating more vast areas of skin with banana peel treatments, always do a patch test. Furthermore, before beginning any new foot care routine, be sure you see a healthcare provider if you have diabetes or any underlying foot diseases.
