Socks

I usually buy a pack of candles(6). Paraffin(750ml). That is the amount I use. Once the mixture is made it can be stored till needed again. Hopefully never off course.

Method

Melt the candle wax slowly in a container. Take the container off the heat. Add paraffin. Mix thoroughly. Allow to cool before using. Freshly melted candle wax can leave painful burns. Please be mindful of that.!

Apply every night. Wear socks after applying the mixture. Repeat this daily.

Seven days later you will be surprised. Truly you will be amazed at this. It is effective. It does really work. It is one of the best ways that I know of for dry cracked heels.
