How do you keep your feet soft?
 

It seems as though my feet get very dry and "hard" a few days after a pedicure. I have tried several creams, oils and lotions, but all have very short term effect.

I literally just got some Arbonne products that she swears will help. It is an skin care company that is international. The products are not cheap-I know there sunscreen is really great stuff. This woman has been my customer for several years and she just did another event with me so I wanted to give something back and purchased this product. My heals tend to dry out and she said that it would be good for that. They smell great-tangerine. You can go on their site and check them out.

Have you ever tryed products by clinique, My daughter use to work there and i have several samples, I have very rough and dry skin in the winter and my feet are always the worse, there butter formula is wonderful :)

Is this what you are referring to...Turnaround Body Smoothing Cream? It comes in a blue tube.

Do you know which store carries this?

I've tried everything! This is what works for me. I take my favorite lotion and a bottle of vitamin E. I mix them half and half and use EVERYWHERE. My feet are in great shape now.

it's not in stores. you can go online. they do sales there or you can find a consultant. here is the link:

Cetephil. My sister had the same problem I finally convinced her to try cetephil and she was soooo happy with the results.

Most stores carry it.

Curel lotion, I think it's the Intensive healing it comes in a blue bottle. Just put it on every night before you go to bed it works great for me.

Due to hypothyroidism I had some really dry, cracked heals. I found several things that would work well. Once my thyroid meds are balanced, not so much problem anymore. But here are some of the things I used:

Zim's crack cream works great -- even better in the lotion version but the cream is easier to deal with. I put it on thick, add socks overnight, and by morning, soft heals!

You will think this is crazy but I have also used Beaudreaux's Butt Paste on my heals. It is actually sold for diaper rash but I wondered if it would work and it did! I don't have this on hand anymore so have not used it in a long time. But in a pinch....;)

Bag Balm works extremely well for any cracked, dry skin. Walmart has this sometimes, comes in a little tin.

Bath and Body's Body Butter -- comes in all their scents. I would slather it on thick, add socks overnight and usually had smooth heals by morning.

I think any of the creams that are heavy with oil will work to soften the heals if used in abundance and held on with socks overnight.

Came back to add -- be careful with the pedicures. I think some of them will use that shave thing too much and leave your skin half raw. I noticed when I changed to another place for nail care, they do not use the skin shaver on my heels and no more peeling layers!

I uses diaper rash cream, made for babies. And everytime I uses it my dh, thinks I've lost my mind, but it works for my feet..........my dh need some on his feet!

I use the Microplane on my feet along with the cream called
Dreamsicle. It's smells and looks exactally like a creamsicle.
I only get a pedicure at the beginning of the summer and then
do my own feet which can become dry as well.
The product Dreamsicle, I think, is amazing and keeps the heels
and feet dry free.

Arbonne worked good on my face! I like their stuff.

As for foot care, my mom has done this for years and year and she has exema really bad on her hands and feet. After a bath and a foot cream, she covers her feet in vaseline and wears plain white cotton socks on over it to bed. She does this like every 3 - 4 days all winter. It works well for her.

I do that for my hands sometimes as I get really dry cuticles. I have the cotton gloves to put on. So far the Arbonne stuff seems to be working and it smells sooo good! :)

I am a bare minerals girl and my arbonne lady told me that have mineral makeup now. I've so much bare minerals, I'm not switching. lol
