The Overnight Fix: How to Heal Cracked, Dry Heels with Shea Butter
Our feet carry us everywhere, yet they are often the most neglected part of our skincare routine. This leads to one of the most common and painful problems: dry, cracked heels.
This skin is naturally thicker, and when it loses moisture, it can become hard, calloused, and even split into painful fissures. Thin, watery lotions barely make a dent.
When you're dealing with skin this tough, you need an intensive, heavy-duty healer. You need Nubiana's 100% Pure African Shea Butter.
Why Shea Butter Works When Lotions Fail
-
It Deeply Penetrates: Shea butter is a powerful emollient. Its rich fatty acid profile is uniquely capable of penetrating the thick, tough skin of the heels, softening it from the inside out.
-
It Heals Damaged Skin: Unrefined shea butter is packed with Vitamins A and E, which are essential for skin repair. These vitamins help to heal the cracks and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
-
It Creates a Protective Barrier: It's also an occlusive, meaning it creates a protective seal. This barrier locks in moisture and protects the vulnerable, healing skin from the friction of your shoes and the air.
The Ultimate Overnight Cracked Heel Treatment
For the fastest, most dramatic results, follow this simple 3-step ritual before bed.
Step 1: Buff First (Optional but Recommended) In the bath or shower, use a tool like the Nubiana African Net Sponge to buff your heels. This removes the top layer of dead, hard skin and allows the shea butter to penetrate even more deeply.
Step 2: Apply Generously After your shower, while your feet are still slightly damp, scoop a generous amount of pure shea butter. Warm it in your hands and massage it deeply into your heels, soles, and any other dry areas. Don't be afraid to use a thick layer.
Step 3: The Sock Secret This is the key. Immediately after applying the shea butter, put on a pair of clean, cotton socks. The socks do two things:
-
They prevent the butter from getting all over your sheets.
-
They trap your body heat, which keeps the shea butter melted and helps it absorb all night long.
When you wake up, you will be amazed at the difference. Your heels will be noticeably softer, smoother, and more hydrated. Repeat this process every night, and even the deepest cracks will begin to heal.
