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 user has left to find something he has never found..Bye!!! |

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.... ------------- This user has left to find something he has never found..Bye!!! |

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 ------------- |

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
