Warm weather brings out dry skin and it’s very important to make sure you keep hydrated.

My hands and feet are always the unfortunate victims during the summer. I’ve tried a bunch of different types of creams and lotions to help with the cracked heels and dry cuticles but, I just can’t seem to get over some of the outrageous prices. At the end of the day, I keep reverting back to my mom’s dry skin remedy.

For around $6 you can get yourself a small jar of Tiger Balm (which was created over 100 years ago) and it does the job. Take a small amount and rub it on your heels and wear a cotton sock for 15 minutes to help retain the moisture. It’s great for dry cuticles as well, but make sure you avoid rubbing your eyes.

Tiger Balm is most definitely a multi-purpose balm and a great way to fix dry skin areas on a dime.
