Dry feet are only a cosmetic problem in the beginning, but if ignored, they can become painful and they can cause trouble. Lots of people choose to use home remedies for dry feet because they are really effective and they also cost less than cosmetic products. Hydration is the key to solving the problem of dry feet. Soak your feet regularly in soapy water and then pat them dry, apply your favorite lotion and put on some socks.

Simply soaking your feet regularly might be enough if your problem is not very serious. However, it is better if you also add to that water some known home remedies for dry feet. One of them is vinegar. Keep your feet there for approximately half an hour before your dry them and apply a layer of moisturizing lotion. The same effect can also be obtained with baking soda. Put around half a cup of baking soda for every gallon of water and dissolve completely before soaking your feet.

The calluses on your feet need to be eliminated in order to get rid of dry feet. This is why lemon juice is one of the best home remedies for dry feet. Soak your feet in lemon juice diluted with water because the gentle acid in lemon removes the calluses.

Lemons are not the only fruits that can be used as home remedies for dry feet. Bananas also have a good effect. After you soak your feet, pat them dry and cover them in mashed bananas. Stay like this for approximately ten minutes and then rinse your feet.

Many people choose to use vegetable oils or petroleum jelly instead of cosmetic lotions for dry feet. They trust home remedies for dry feet more and they are right to do so. Apply vegetable oils or petroleum jelly on your clean feet at night, before going to bed. Put on socks and sleep like this.
