Dry Feet

Shada · 01-03-2013, 08:05 PM

I use Corn Husker Lotion when my feet get a little dry. Rub some on my feet then put socks on. This stuff has been around forever.
Works for me.... and the price is right.. cheap stuff!! I swear by it!!

Use mentholatum or Vicks on your feet. Wrap them in Saran Wrap then put socks on over them. You don't have to sleep that way, just leave it on when you are on the computer or watching tv. Be careful if you walk, it's really slippery!!

I have trouble in the summer with dry feet with cracking and bleeding if it gets too bad. I take baths and soak my feet then I scrub them really hard to get off all the dead skin. If I keep up with this then I don't have as much trouble. I don't usually have trouble in the winter because I wear my shoes more (I think that going barefooted in the summer dries them out).

I would think that any good lotion would work. Just make sure that you scrub off any dry skin. Good luck!!

The corn husk idea just reminded me 5hat there is some kind of cream that everyone up here swears by. It's a strange name, 2which I forgot, of course. I'll try to find out what it is.

Betsi, are you home? Happy New Year!

Betsi....I have never heard of putting Vick's or mentholatum on feet...

I did put the vaseline on my feet last night and wore footies to bed. I do not like that at all. Need bare feet to sleep, but boy were my feet nice and soft this morning. Now that it's afternoon and I haven't been wearing shoes or socks, they are drying out again. So, guess I'll put some lotion on them and put on some footies, heck...I don't know what to do...LOLOL Who'd a thought I'd start having dry skin now? But it's okay...it has to be something.

I do remember that Corn Huskers stuff, so I may try that. What I remember of it is that it really works great, so I'll just have to get some.

Happy New Year to all!

I do have extremely dry feet and I am lazy at night to put cream on and socks. Going to try some of your ideas.. thanks!

I have used Vaseline with plastic bags (the fruit/veggie ones at the store) and then cover with socks.

I also heard of soaking your feet in warm water with orange peels and lemon peels. Never tried it thought.
