Dry Feet

hi emeraldisle!!my boyfriend has the very same problem that you have, it's a genetic disease and unfortunately, it is inherited. he inherited it from his mother, and his cousins also have the same problem. do you have a chinese descent? chinese people often have this problem because their race has sensitive skin. anyway, since i am a nurse, i researched on this problem so that i can help him. and you know what i found out? "moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!" was the only solution to this. whenever you find time to put lotion on your feet, do it. never put a shoe without putting lotion first. after you shower, before you sleep, or even after you sweat at the gym, let lotion be your everyday quirk. thankfully, my boyfriend's last "attack" of dry feet was last year in the month of May. and since then he never had this yet until now. and he can consume 500 ml of jergens moisturizer in 15 days because it became one of his "quirks". well, i hope i helped you. God bless!!=)

Try using more oil and less water in your soaks. Safflower oil, canola oil, or virgin coconut oil with a litle hot water can do more for your soaking than water. Then keep your feet covered so you avoid friction on the bottoms of your feet. This will help you avoid friction while walking.

hi there,no i dont have this problem but using petroleum jelly will help because i do use it or you might want to find a moisturizer especially for the feet.Always wear your socks to bed after applying the vaseline or moisurizer because it keeps the moisture locked in.

Dry feet run in my family on my mother's side also. I have seen their feet and I have a thing about it. I vowed that I would never let my feet get to that point. So I have one of those foot pedicure pumice stones that I use when I have been soaking in the bath. And I use this amazing Shea Butter lotion! It is awesome! I don't like Cocoa Butter for some reason...so, just to let you know, this smells nothing like that. :)

I battle this too emerald. I try to use the pumice stone each night in the shower. Once out of the shower, I put vaseline on my feet and then some socks. I do find that if I don't go barefoot in the house and instead wear slippers, it helps some too. I have to put lotion on each morning too. I really don't think it will ever be totally gone.

I am plagued with this problem also and in winter it is so bad. I find that if I use a primece (spelling?) stone on them while in the shower. It helps some. I also use lots of cream on them before I go to bed and wear socks. I wish there would be something that really works but nothing seems to work

okay. get a cheap bottle of lotion (because you'll be using a lot) and put it all over your feet. a THINK layer so you cant even see skin anymore. then put a pair or 2 (incase it seeps through) of socks on and leave them on over night. it reallly works. just make sure theres a lot of it on. but it works for me! hope that helps

I have tried a million and one things. What you can do is moisturize your feet with any lotin you chose but do keep or sleep socks on to attempt to seal in moisture for your feet... or for really soft feet: cover your feet in vasalene and wrap them up in plastic over night. Do wear socks while you have them wrapped. if you do thisa few times a week then you should be alright... :)

Actually, I did have very dry feet. This may sound strange, but I soap them, I use either intensive care lotion from jergens, slap on nice coat on my feet and then I put these lil footie plastic bags on them to make sure that the moisture stays in. I normally do that about 3 or 4 times a week. Doing the warmer weather I love wearing sandals...I can't walk around with crazy looking feet. There is also this cream at walmart in the foot area. I can't think of the name but it's in a brown and beige tube. Its for dry feet. It's in a tube and you rub them on your feet, looks like you just came out from getting a pedicure. I will check when I get home and post it here again..Good luck to you..

pumice stone, when feet are wet after being soaked in the bath. Don't wear socks all the time, walk around the house bare footed in slippers, minus the socks. If any one is diabetic never ever use a knife or a razor, the circulation is very poor in the foot and can lead to major problems if you cut your foot. Try rubbing your feet with a little salt and butter or you can use sugar and butter for a softer gentler scouring action. Not sure what else you can do. I used to wrap my feet in bandages after smoothering them in petroleum jelly.

hey you know what i had a descussion awhile ago regarding of dry feet and its sulotion. hope you read it by this time so that it can help you. but if you still didnt then i tell it again here. i also have dry feet just recently one of my friends told me that she uses Petroleum Jelly. i had tried it and honestly it really help alot. if i were you give it a try its not harmful and its cheaper too. you dont need to buy products that is expensive. and you can easily look on it in one of the pharmacy near by. hope it will help you the same as it helped me. if you had tried could you please inform me if your feet likes it. please..thanks in advance!

oh yes! i also have very dry feet... i've tried everything, from having regular foot spa (which is quite expensive), to doing the scrubbing myself. But now, after so much trial and error, i now regularly use intensive foot cream -- the key is to make sure that the moisture are not lost. I also found out that taking vitamin E helps.

Take your feet and slather them with the Peppermint Foot Lotion from the Body Shop. Then wrap them in saran wrap and wear a big pair of socks for 2 hours. Your feet will feel amazing when you take the saran wrap off!

I ,too, have this same problem.I have tried every product known to mankind but nothing worked til I discovered the footcare products at avon.Amazing.What a difference in my feet!

Yes I have that problem to, I use a cream which is called E45 and it works wonders. Any Cream for dry Skin should help you, as it is lack of moisture on the feet, I put it on every Day after my Shower.

You could also try this lotion that is called Corn huskers. My husband has dry feet really really bad. The only thing that works for him is the Corn Huskers.

a pumice stone is good as well, and putting cream on them, I find I get dry feet with open backed shoes like sandals.

Try using Krack cream, its very effective vream and i have been using it regularly. Ofourse, its a bit costly
