Previously, it has been discussed why coconut oil is a must in your skincare, in your diets, in your hair care, and why coconut oil is a must in a K-pop idols' skin care regimen. But did you know that coconut oil can also be used for your feet? Read on below to know why!
Cracked Heels and Dry Skin
Especially during winter or when you experience chilly weather, the cold can cause moisture to be drained from your skin and makes your skin - especially your heels - crack and become dry. Because of this, people wear thick socks to stay warm. Though it does work, it does not provide long-term relief. Wearing socks for a long time can also cause you to sweat and doesn't allow the pores in your feet to breathe. Because of that, coconut oil is the best way to prevent cracked heels and dry skin.
So, how do you use coconut oil on your feet? It is simple - massage warm coconut oil to your feet! Warm coconut oil gives your feet some warmth and helps prevent your feet be harmed from the cold. It also allows circulation in the feet, raising the temperature, allowing your feet to stay warm.
It is best to apply the oil at night to lock in the moisture in the feet and prevent the skin from drying. If you massage warm coconut oil to your feet regularly, you can prevent cracked heels and remove dead skin, which leaves your feet feeling as soft and supple as a baby's bottom!
Massaging coconut oil into your feet also has a number of health benefits. One, it can help reduce swelling in the legs due to fluid retention, which is usually seen in pregnant women. It can also help with stress caused to traveling all day long, which is called the reflexology technique. On top of that, massaging your feet with coconut oil relaxes the muscles in your feet and reduces pain. If you do it at night, it can help ensure a good night's sleep! It can also prevent feet fungus.
