Every night, we all have this little ritual before slipping under the covers: a herbal tea, a little reading, a hand cream… But did you know that a simple yet unexpected gesture could make all the difference for your feet (and much more) during the night? If the name “Vicks Vaporub” primarily evokes the cold-filled winters of your childhood, wait until you discover its unexpected benefits when applied to your feet. Spoiler: your skin, your nails, and even your legs will appreciate it.

We don’t always realize it, but our feet are on the front line every day: shoes that are too tight, friction, dust, excessive air conditioning … The result? Redness, irritation, tightness. What if a dab of Vicks in the evening could protect them?Its occlusive power helps retain the skin’s natural moisture. And combined with the essential oils it contains, Vicks visibly softens dry areas from the first night. With regular application, your feet will regain their former softness. Bonus? This little routine also offers a moment of relaxation after a busy day.
