Treat Your Feet With Aquaphor

April 29, 2013

Spring is upon us, which means Summer is right around the corner. With Summer, comes flip flop & sandal season! For all of us who wait for this time of year Aquaphor wants to help your treat your feet so they are ready to make their spring and summer debut.

If your feet are still carrying the burden of the dry, winter season, you’re not alone. Indoor heat and the harsh winter elements dry out your skin due to the lack of humidity in the air. When skin gets really dry it can break open and crack. Most of us are good at keeping our skin moisturized, but we often neglect our feet, out of sight, out of mind. This can lead to cracked heels that include dark or yellowing skin, calluses and flaky patches of skin, all things you want to be rid of before slipping into this season’s hottest flip flops. This is definitely the point I was at last week before receiving my package from Aquaphor, and I knew I wanted to get flip flop ready and fast because with warm weather making it’s first visit of the year, I am ready to pack the boots away and pull out all of my cute sandals!

Using the proper technique and products is crucial for a smooth transition into flip-flop season and Aquaphor is here to help with these three easy steps:

  • Step 1: Soak 

Your feet get the most use and abuse. Take 10-20 minutes every few weeks to pamper them in a soak       of lukewarm water with a few drops of gentle liquid soap. Try out Aquaphor’s sister brands, Eucerin Gentle Hydrating Cleanser. Soaking your feet helps to soften the skin and will make the next step easier.

  • Step 2: Exfoliate 

Once the skin on your feet has been softened from the soak dip a pumice stone into the water and rub it lightly back-and-forth across the rough patches on your feet for about 30 seconds. Dip the pumice stone back in the water and repeat on the other foot. When finished, dip both feet back in the water to remove the excess skin.

  • Step 3: Moisturize

Now that you’ve softened your feet and removed some of the dead skin it’s important that you properly moisturize the new layers of skin that have been exposed. Apply a generous amount of Aquaphor Healing Ointment, cover your feet with plush socks and sleep in them overnight. You’ll love the way your feet feel in the morning and will vow to make this a part of your regular routine!

Aquaphor Healing Ointment protects dry, cracked or irritated skin to help enhance the natural healing process and restore smooth, healthy skin. Dermatologist-trusted product that is fragrance-free, preservative-free, non-irritating and ideal for sensitive skin.

Get Rid of DRY?CRACKED Heels in as little as 24 Hours!

I have to say I was absolutely amazed with the results, shown above is just after one use. I followed the above steps and even though I HATE socks I forced myself to keep them on overnight, and I am so glad I did. As you can see I had dry, cracked and yellowing skin on my heels and it was almost completely gone in the morning! Imagine how great they would look after a few uses, I plan on using the Aquaphor Healing Ointment regularly.

    I love me some Aquaphor! Seriously cannot live with out it. I use it on my lips – I have crazy sensitive lips and it is the only stuff that I seem to not be allergic to. I use it on my hands and feet too. Amazing product!

    Hi Ange 🙂 What a difference with one treatment. I bet you had some happy feet 🙂 I don’t have a lot of issues with dry feet, but I know some other people who do, that would benefit from something like this. Thanks for sharing the info. Happy Monday xo

    Acquaphor is a godsend for my youngest son. He deals with severe eczema. After we apply his topical Rx we ‘seal’ it all in with a good coat of acquaphor.
    But your post has been a timely reminder that even though I keep my toes painted year round, it is time to pay attention to the rest of my feet so that they are sandal ready!

    We were advised by our pediatrician to use aquaphor for our son’s eczema… but I didn’t think of using it on my feet.

    I give my feet a treatment once a week cause they get so rough & tough from running everyday. I swear if I didnt they’d look disgusting!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost.

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣

The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣

So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣

Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
