What You’ll Need:
- A tube of white toothpaste (gel types may not be as effective)
- A soft-bristled toothbrush or a foot scrubber
- Warm water
- A moisturizer (preferably one with aloe vera or shea butter)
Instructions:
- Clean Your Feet: Ensure your feet are clean and free from dirt. Wash them with warm water and pat dry.
- Apply Toothpaste: Squeeze out a generous amount of toothpaste and apply it directly onto the cracked areas of your heels.
- Scrub Gently: Using a soft-bristled toothbrush or a foot scrubber, gently scrub the areas where the toothpaste has been applied. Do this for about 2-3 minutes.
- Let it Sit: Allow the toothpaste to sit on your heels for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Rinse Off: Wash off the toothpaste with warm water and dry your feet thoroughly.
- Moisturize: Apply a generous amount of moisturizer to your feet to hydrate and protect the newly exfoliated skin.
Tips for Best Results
- Repeat this process nightly for three consecutive nights to see significant improvement in the condition of your heels.

- For ongoing care, consider repeating the toothpaste treatment once a week.
