His friends said, “Your feet look great!” Try juicing a potato for a mask. Rate your heel cracks 1-10. Above 4? This could be key. But what’s next for exfoliation? You’ll want to see this.

It sloughs off roughness naturally. Sarah used a potato paste, feeling silkier heels in days, like a fresh canvas. Mix grated potato with water. Rate your heel roughness 1-10. Above 5? This could be big. But what surprised Sarah most? Keep going.
