ok, so i hate my feet!

actually, i like the way they look, as in the "form/shape," but i hate the skin on 'em ... i've done everything to soften those pesky little patches of dry skin, but nothing works all the way..

i wear high heels, a lot, which puts weight on certain spots of the foot and the skin grows tougher to support such pressure and increased activity... but i won't lie, i also ignored my feet quite a bit this winter, so i'm left with dry skin patches over pressure spots..

i've been working with a pumice stone... what else should i do? what's the best source of moisture for that area (lotion, oil, vaseline, etc.)?  and what can i do to spead up the exfoliation process? tell me about ur pedicure regimen.

thanks in advance

I recomend "Aquaphor Oringinal Ointment" from the makers of Eucerin.

I had a very dry skin on my elbows (So dry that it hurt) A couple days with this stuff cleared it up instantly. It's been 7 years since then and it still haven't returned...

I hope this helps.....

This stuff worked for me..........My dry spots pained worse than an rug burn....

It should work for you, but there is a chance things won't be the same.......They may have changed to formula....

i went and checked out aquaphor, and the active ingredient was petrolatum.. which is petroleum jelly, and i've got plenty of that.. so i was like naah, won't do much for me..

i ended up buying a callus remover and skin file and this spa foot night treatment thing.. i used the tools then applied the cream and put on a pair of socks... and now i have just gorgeous feet love 'em!

i can't believe i was so stupid not to think of this before

Don't call yourself stupid cause your smarter than I am!

Sorry I should have posted the ingredients.......

Looking at the bottle now it says

Active ingredient: Petrolatum

oh no, it's perfectly fine.. i was just surprised by the fact, it's kind of a rip-off i think, since a jar of vaseline is cheaper than a tube of aquaphor
