This DIY foot mask is so affordable and it’s effective because the olive oil contains an acid that creates a protective layer locking in the moisture in your skin and preventing water loss. The petroleum jelly creates a protective layer locking in the moisture in your skin and preventing water loss. The petroleum jelly creates a barrier on the skin to seal the moisture as well and the coconut oil soothes inflammation, softens the skin, and supports regeneration.

What You Need for a DIY Foot Mask:

• Candle, paraffin wax
• Olive oil
• Petroleum jelly
• Coconut oil
• Cornstarch

How to Make a DIY Candle Foot Mask:

Step 1

Grate the candle with a fine grater, then transfer the grated candle to a large bowl, and add about half a cup of olive oil. Mix them thoroughly until combined, then fill a pot with water, and bring it to a boil.

Step 2

Place the bowl (make sure it’s heatproof) over the water bath, then stir the mixture until melted and combined, and remove it from the heat.

Step 3

Add a tablespoon of petroleum jelly and half a tablespoon of coconut oil, then give them a good mix, add a tablespoon of cornstarch, and mix until paste-like consistency.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a jar or container with a lid, then apply a thick layer to your cracked heels, massage it in a circular motion, and leave it for about 15 minutes.
