Cracked the Case on Cracked Feet

Cracked the Case on Cracked Feet

Here’s something I wish I heard earlier about cracked feet: They’re so much easier to fix than you think!

Forget soaking and scrubbing, I’ve found that a moisturizing combination of lotion bars and magnesium cream has worked wonders for mine! Lotion bars go on thick, using beeswax to seal the cracks and lock in moisture for the skin to absorb. Similar to our lotion bars, our magnesium cream contains shea butter and beeswax to deliver and maintain rich moisture to the skin. Magnesium also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can slow the process of cracking skin. 

A bonus is that it’s easy to get into the routine of applying magnesium creams to your feet when they benefit your sleep so much! They promote relaxation and improve sleep quality- all while healing your tootsies! However, I don’t recommend applying magnesium creams to feet that have deep cracks with open skin inside. Magnesium tends to burn open wounds so heal those cracks up a little first!

Are you still interested in exfoliating away the dead skin and callouses leading to your cracked feet? Gingerly Snapped has sugar scrubs, salt soaps, and coffee soaps, which all are wonderful exfoliation options and offer different levels of grit to meet your comfort level. 

Would you rather soak those feet? Be sure to check out our bath salts and milk baths to deeply penetrate and restore that dry skin.  We have a wide variety and they can be combined to provide a truly magical experience.
