Aloe vera gel is commonly used as a natural moisturizer to treat dry, rough and peeling skin. This is thanks to the content of polysaccharides and sterols which can help maintain skin moisture. The antioxidants and vitamin E in it are also effective in softening dry and cracked heel area skin.

Petroleum jelly is also a natural moisturizer that can maintain skin elasticity and hydration, thereby preventing dryness and chapping. This natural ingredient is also useful as a skin protector from sun exposure and free radicals. In other words, petroleum jelly can reduce the risk of peeling skin due to dryness while softening the hard skin in the heel area so that it becomes soft and supple like a baby's skin.

Lemon contains acid which can moisturize and smooth the skin. This fruit is also able to get rid of dead skin cells that cause rough skin. In fact, the vitamin C content in it is also known to be able to improve skin texture as well as help regenerate the skin to make it healthier and moisturized, as reported on the Healthline page.

Mustard oil is a type of essential oil that is full of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as vitamins A, D, and E. Apart from providing moisture, this content can stimulate a healthier skin regeneration process by deeply nourishing it. This means that mustard oil can help treat damage to the skin in the heel area to prevent it from drying out and cracking.
