A $4 Cracked Heel Solution, Sleepover Makeup & Struggling to Afford Skincare

The dogs are out, and Kelly McCarren and Amy Clark are back answering your juiciest, cringiest and crustiest beauty dilemmas. On this episode of The Fix, Amy responds to a question from a listener about cracked heels and dry feet, with her tried-and-tested solution that only costs $4. Plus, is it terrible to wear makeup to bed? A first-sleepover makeup dilemma has us re-thinking the rules. We also discuss a seriously relatable conundrum: what to do when you’ve found a skincare routine that works for you, but can no longer justify (or afford) the price tag.
