I have a horrendous case of dry cracked feet…. Its probably because I walk around barefooted most of the day I don’t put enough lotion on because I hate the feel of stuff like that on my hands… but im going to have to do something so has anyone had this problem? What did you use to help….

Well sweetie, one thing you can do is soak those tootsies in some warm water with salts and then use a loofah or pumice stone on them regularly.


Also, get some socks just for wearing to bed, and slather those puppies in lotion, put on the socks over the lotion and go to bed.

I had this problem every summer when I would wear sandals and be on my feet all day. Regular lotions didn't work. I finally bought some bag balm and slathered it on my feet at night before I went to bed. I wore socks to bed, and within two days my feet were healed and silky smooth. One of my customers was complaining about her dry feet, and was skeptical when I told her what I'd done. But she tried it, and said the same thing--that it worked wonders!

For cracked

Or dry skin

Rub on some udder cream

Truely, I wouldn't lie

Easy to find at Walmart

Search for white and black tubs near body lotions

Usually works right away

Caution though

Keep off linoleum

Udder cream would work, as well as the soaking and rubbing with a foot pumice stone. Not a clue what bag cream is hehe.

I have very tough, hard heels because I wear nothing but flipflops in the summer, so while mine aren't cracked, I can understand the problem.
