Remember my earlier post on cracked heels? I finally made the mixture of Vaseline with fresh lemon juice to apply on my feet. I used the juice of half a lemon and squeezed it into my jar of Vaseline, which was about slightly less than a quarter jar left. I applied the mixture onto my feet twice a day – before going to bed at night and in the morning before I run. After applying the mixture, I put on a pair of socks. However, I did not apply the mixture consistently everyday.
On some days, I only apply plain Vaseline (without the lemon juice) and on other days, I apply Waiora’s skin repair cream and Aqua / Simple cream.
I also bought a tube of Prolin Skin Guard cream from Cosway recently. One of the ingredients in Prolin is Evening Primrose Oil. Other active ingredients are Plantolin and Resveratrol.
After applying the above creams on my feet for about a month, my feet are not so wrinkled and dry. The cracks on my heels are closing up. The problem now is my itchy hands! I tend to peel the skin whenever I see stray skin jutting out on my feet! Peeling and cutting the skin only aggravate the problem. I guess I’ll just have to stop looking at my feet and resist the urge to touch them!
This post will be continued, where I will update everyone on the progress of my heels and feet.
Good tips Shireen.
I have cracked heels and itchy hands like you. 🙂
I used to wear shoes (those Vincci and Nose brands) to work. Recently I got myself a pair of Crocs.
It worth every single cent of it, as after wearing for a few weeks, my cracked heels improved, without doing anything different.
Yeap I used prolin from cosway. It is superb!!
try using the Prolin skin guard. I used it when I had to do hard work involving lots of hard soap, ie washing cars,, etc (days before the maid) and it does protect my skin.
Eh.. how many days will yr vaseline n lemon juice last before it stinks ?
Elaine… Prolin Skin Guard is not the same as Prolin Skin Renew? And oh, my Vaseline-Lemon concoction has been in my fridge for over a month and still smells good!
