First For Women

Opt for a banana mask

-

Skin along the heels lacks oil glands, making them prone to unflatteri­ng dryness and painful cracking.

New York City dermatolog­ist Debra Jaliman, M.D., suggests softening them with a banana and honey foot mask. “The potassium in bananas moisturize­s skin and the antibacter­ial properties in honey speed healing.”

TO DO: Combine 1 mashed banana and 2 Tbs. of honey. Rub onto heels; cover with plastic wrap. Let sit 15 minutes, then remove and wipe away excess. Use once a week for lasting results.
