Dry Feet

[judy]

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.

Since I'm so forgetful when I go to the store, I've been putting lotion on my feet every night and they are so much better. I put on just a little bit on one foot and then a little on the other. By the time I rub it in I'm ready for the next foot and then put on a generous amount. It's really helping alot. I was starting to get worried because my feet were starting to crack and the ball of my feet were beginning to get sore. So glad it's working.

That's great! Problem solved!

I'm glad that your feet are better. As I said.....I usually have this problem in the summer and it is painful.
