As winter begins, dry skin becomes a common problem. While most people take care of their face, the feet, especially the heels, often get neglected. Cracked heels not only look unpleasant but can also cause pain. If you’ve spent previous winters trying to heal your cracked heels, this time, make a simple and effective DIY wax cream at home. It will keep your heels soft and moisturized. Here’s how to prepare it.

How to Use Wax Cream for Best Results
