TIA Poppy x

    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.
