Rubbing a mixture of sugar & olive oil into them and waiting for a few months is also good. Just rinse off with warm water.

Not too sure about waiting a few months with sure and olive oil on my feet....;)

I meant minutes. Although I have no idea what *sure* is.

I use baking soda, honey and olive oil my feet and it feels lovely. We forget our feet and they do so much. Do it every week and you'll see such a difference.

Urea is fantastic for softening skin. Soak your feet in a bowl of your urine for lovely soft feet. Can't get more :money: than that!

Never fancied trying it myself, but an older lady I worked with used to treat dry skin with her urine and it worked.

Urea is also the main ingredient of many eczema and other dry skin condition creams.

Garters give you varicose veins!:D

I have a hard skin scraper from the 'Body Shop'. It is wooden with a rough side and a smooth side. It cost very little and is fantastic. A chiropodist recommended it to me - and boy do they know about feet.......

I read that a bit of epsom salts in soaking water is good.

This is one of my really early childhood memories as my Mum used to word in the local Co-op so was on her feet all day.

In the evening she would sit with a washing up bowl (not the main one!!) full of hot water and bubble bath and soak her feet whilst watching TV. Once a week or so she would then cover her feet in a vaseline, petroleum jelly type cream then put her feet in a plastic bag and then socks on top - be very careful walking around it feels slippy! but its an early version of a spa and she swore by it!!

Enjoy!!

I got a back-scrubbing brush with long handle, just for my feet, and when I have had a good soaky bath I wash my feet very thoroughly with the brush, scrubbing a lot (gently) all over, then I rinse well, dry and put lots of nice cream on (I usually use any handcream I have.) My feet always feel wonderful, all tingly and young - I think they are surprised at being treated so well, and it doesn't take long. A loofah, or roughish flannel would do just as well. Painting my toenails make my feet feel cheerful too !

Epsom salts in a footbath or bath are great for aches. Add a couple of drops of peppermint oil or essence to refresh and stimulate.
