by In the summer I am a Flip-Flops bile. From my soft havians to my slender tkees, most days, I wear a few sandals. That said, I ensure that my toes are primed and polished before I slide on a few. But regular pedicures can become a bit pricey, so I usually go to the DOE -self -route, and that’s how I came across the Aquaphor Advanced Therapy Repair Foot Mask. For just $ 6 this mask of 10 minutes can calm dry heels and soften the skin. And with regular use they helped me get my feet sandal-ready sans salon.
Goal
These foot masks are easy to put on, non-irritating and really help with dry, cracked heels.
- Mess -free

I especially like that this foot mask is completely mess -free. Instead of a cream or a serum you put on, the “mask” is actually a set of paper boots filled with aquaphor. Just open them, slide them up and put your feet on for 10 minutes. If the time is over, you can get them out and rub the remaining lotion in it or wipe it away. The mask contains nourishing shea butter, avocado oil and the characteristic ingredients of aquaphor such as provitamin B5, glycerin and bisabolol, a relaxing, anti-inflammatory oil that is extracted from Kamille.
Now I have a few personal recommendations. I propose to set up with these boots in front of your feet, because you don’t want to slide and fall. However, if you want to walk around while you hydrate, just glide a few socks over the boot to keep them in place or turn on a few slippers. (I usually put a few socks on mine and wear them while I do my hair or makeup.) For the best results, I also like to use a Callus remover or a foot file in the shower, and do it immediately after I have dried out.
You can use these boats between pedicures or as a special treat for yourself here and there, but I try to use one at least once a week in the summer. I am a runner and I walk a lot, so these help prevent cracked heels and to mitigate calluses.

“This worked better than other foot masks that I tried, and without burning,” said one of the 330 five -star crimes at Target. “I use thick fuzzy socks on top of the boot to keep them in place, and that seems to work really well, especially if you have to move those 10 minutes. This is really a great foot mask between pedicures!”
Another shopper shared that they wore it while they slept. “These are great! I put them on my feet and wore them at night and my dry, cracked healing are no longer! Nothing ever works on it. This did the trick in one night. Buying more.”
“I love this one! I have a lot of problems with a very dry, cracked skin on my feet. These help make it soft, and then I can use other aquaphor products to keep it soft. My feet feel great after I have used it,” said another shopper.
Natural there is Another alternative that is a bit cheaper, albeit a bit messier: you can just apply ordinary aquaphor ointment to your feet and put on a few socks. I did this in a pinch or even used Vaseline instead. Although the normal aquaphor does not have the shea butter and it is a bit greasy, it is still meant for dry, cracked skin and you can beautify your feet.
Goal
You can use Aquafoor on your hands, feet, lips – everywhere! However, if you put it on your feet, you might want to put on a few socks to prevent the ointment from inserting your floors.
