• When it melts completely and stops bubbling, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
• When it cools down, grind it and make a powder.
• After this, before going to bed at night, soak your feet in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes. This will soften the skin. Wipe the feet thoroughly with a towel.
