Evening all,

I smother my feet with Vaseline when I get out of the bath and then put a pair of socks on. Not very sexy, but my feet feel fantastic in the morning.

I have an artificial pumice stone from the Body Shop, which is great for removing hard skin on feet. Use it at the end of a long bath when the skin has softened a bit. I also use exfoliating mitts for the tops of feet, heels and ankles.
Apply Nivea (or vaseline, as mentioned) and wear cotton socks to bed.

I must admit, that as I have worn Crocs all summer, my feet haven't got the dry, hard skin they used to have!

after suffering the same for many years & trying various creams & removing 'devices', i'd definitely recommend this combination - just do a bit of searching for the best prices...

always smoother your feet with creams, vaseline, peel them while taking bath, don't go barefoot, always put on socks and there should come the results :)

pedikur is sold on QVC. I think this may be the link shown above. The demo always shows lots of dead skin coming off the model's feet (yum ...).
It is a liquid that you soak into cotton wool, leave on the feet for a bit then scrape off dissolved skin cells. I have used it on OH and it did work. BUT you must do the treatment every few weeks, and it is a bit messy and yucky.
It costs about £25 + the dreaded £4 p&p but lasts for six months.

As has already been mentioned i find vaseline to be the best moisturiser all round. I scrub my feet every day with a pumice stone in the shower, then i cover them with vaseline, and unless it's too warm i put socks on to save ruining my new carpets :rolleyes: (it's been known before). I apply it again at bedtime too, and my feet are lovely and soft. My dh started doing the same and his feet are respectable now (minor miracle:rotfl:)

I've found Neutrogena foot cream produces excellent results. If you use it once a day for about two weeks you should see a vast improvment. HTH

Olive oil is fantastic and healthy too. Put cotton (old) sock on afterwards. It works for me. Hth.
