For Cracked Heels

The winter doesn’t only bring with it the flu season, but also dry and itchy skin. Luckily, Vicks VapoRub helps with both! One of the most unusual ways you can use this ointment is by applying it on cracked heels for visibly smoother and softer skin.

People who’ve used this hack say that the ointment works better than even the most intense foot masks. This is because Vicks is made of essential oils in the form of petroleum jelly, which is known for its hydrating properties. Simply apply a thick layer of the ointment on the cracked heels every night before bed and cover your feet with socks. Repeat once a week for optimal results.
