You also can mix two teaspoons of honey, a cup of brown sugar and a quarter-cup of mineral oil for an extra-hydrating exfoliant.
Scoop the exfoliant into your hand and gently rub it over your heels, working your way slowly to the toes.

Make your toenails look naturally healthy by applying a coat of clear nail polish.
