It's one of the most common—and painful—skin problems. The skin on our heels is naturally thick, and it's under constant pressure. When it gets dry, it can form hard, rough calluses that crack, peel, and become deeply painful.

Your average, thin body lotion won't even make a dent. That skin is too thick.

You need a 2-step "rescue" plan. First, you must remove the dead "armor," and second, you must apply an intensive, healing sealant.

Step 1: Buff Away the Dead Skin (The Prep)

You cannot moisturize a thick, hard callus. You must gently remove the dead, dry layer first.

• What to use: The Nubiana African Net Sponge.

• Why it works: In a warm shower or foot soak, the durable, textured mesh of the Net Sponge is the perfect tool to buff and scrub your heels. It's effective enough to slough off the layers of dead, hard skin, leaving your heels smooth and ready to absorb moisture.

Step 2: The Intensive "Heal & Seal" (The Treatment)

Now that your skin is prepped, you need a heavy-duty healer, not a weak lotion.

• What to use: Nubiana's 100% Pure African Shea Butter.

• Why it's the perfect fix:

  1. It Heals Cracks: Because it's unrefined, it's packed with Vitamins A and E, which are essential for skin repair and healing those painful fissures.

  2. It's a Potent Emollient: It sinks deep into the thick skin to soften it from the inside out.

  3. It's a Protective "Seal": It creates a rich, occlusive barrier that locks in moisture and protects your heels from friction.

The Ultimate Overnight Foot Mask

Do this ritual before bed for the fastest results.

1. After your shower (and after using your Net Sponge), pat your feet dry so they are still slightly damp.

2. Scoop a very generous amount of Pure African Shea Butter and massage it deeply into your heels, soles, and any other dry areas.

3. Put on a pair of clean, cotton socks.

4. Go to sleep.

The socks will trap your body heat, keeping the butter melted and forcing it to absorb all night long. You will wake up to noticeably softer, happier feet.
