i have this problem of my feet. Its very dry. even i put some lotion, its still dry. Petroleum jelly helps a little but still its dry after some hours. I feel its very dull and i feel ugly about it. Sometimes im ashamed to wear open sandals when its dry. what should i do to make my feet simple, soft and beautiful? Do you have some products to recommend? Thanks in advance.

Petroleum and petrolatum is one of the worst things you can put on your skin! It's made to seem like it's moisturizing your skin or lips at first but then totally dries them out more! Stop putting that on!! If you have CoQ10 in the Phillippines in a lotion form then I strongly recommend that! It costs more than normal lotion but a little goes a long way! It spreads very easily! And if you can find a brand that is also organic then that's even better! Do you have GNC in your area? It's a store normally in malls and they carry a brand of CoQ10 called Avalon Organics, it's in a tall skinny purple bottle, that is the lotion I use on all of my body! I suggest you try that if you can get ahold of it! It smells good, too!!

In regards to your feet you say that you put petroleum jelly is this vaseoline that you put on your feet as this should help you. As if vaseoline is not helping you then I do not know any other product as good as this to help you feet.

yep. petroleum jelly helps a lot as well. just cover your feet with socks before going to sleep. it helps to keep the moisture in while you sleep.

Maybe you have a certain condition that makes it exceptionally dry. BEcause if it's just normal dryness, petroleum jelly can take care of it right away. I recommend you to try Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) it will act as a moisturizer and since it has anti bacterial properties, it might as well take care of your skin problem. Goodluck! :)

I have that situation too before all I do is put petroleum jelly every night before sleep and I try to drink lots of water as much as i can cause this is connected to the water content of your body.

Try using a pumice stone first after bathing. Then layer on one of the softeners made for feet and put on a pair of old thick socks and sleep in them. I'll bet the petroleum jelly would even work after using the pumice and adding the socks. Also anthing with tea tree oil in it is good to soften the feet.

Ive ask my wife about your case and she told me that everynight before going to sleep and after a bath or just cleaning your feet put some petroleum jelly when your feet is still wet then put socks on till morning,and you will see the result. Pm or post some discussion here if the result is good for you.
