Feet!

[chicque]

i hate feet. and i can't help but hate how mine looks. they're dry, and rather rough. i try to moisturize them all the time, but nothing ever works. any suggestions?:mad:

There are many products but what i see is using baby oils and wearing cotton socks would reduce the dryness and rough..,just use regular baby oil and put on cotton socks that may help.You don't need any expensive products for this..

My advice is something similar to the admin's advice but instead of baby oil, you use petroleum jelly. I often remind my boyfriend to apply petroleum jelly on his feet every night and cover them with 2 layers of cotton socks. You would notice a significant difference after 2 weeks.

i haven't heard of the cotton socks thing. but i have tried vaseline on my feet and i thought it was temporary. then again, i never really used it for a lengthy amount of time. but what does the socks do?

Oh i just mean a cotton socks that you wear ,wear it daily even at home to protect from external enviroment and getting the feet dry.

I read somewhere that wearing socks at night after applying moisturizer to your feet will help. Leave the socks overnight. You should also exfoliate your feet maybe once a week to get rid of the dead skin.

I suffer the same problem especially during travelling when a lot of walking is involved. Can't do much about it except moisturizing and giving your feet a break!

my vote is for shea butter

If possible get it in bulk , pref unrefined to get all its benefits

dry elbows, feet will be gooone

Give yourself regular pedicure.

Invest in some good scrubbing brush and biffing items. Soak your feet in lukewarm water for 20 minutes before using the basic brush and then a foot skin scrapper on harder skin. Clean your cuticle properly (http://dermatalk.com/showthread.php?p=744#post744). Then moisturize them with some good cream.

If you have cracked heels, you can also apply a cooling vegetable mask – grate a small gourd and mix a little rice powder with it to make a paste. Apply on soles of feet for as long as it provides cool effect. On top, you can use the white portion of water melon, pulp it and mix one lemon’s juice to apply on feet for 20 minutes before washing off.

Just try, you will definitely get help.

I'll suggest you to opt for a regular pedi-cure at least once in 12-14 days. Apart from that whenever you take bath, avoid using soap on your feet as it leaves them dry, instead try using moisturizing body lotions or the best would be to use olive oil gentle massage and use brush instead of a pumic stone for the upper surface of feet.

The olive oil smell won't last long after a towel dry and you can then put your favorite toner to hide the smell and to add a sheen to your feet. Then use a light moisturizer or a sunscreen.

Also, before you sleep, do not forget to massage your feet again with olive oil. Doing this for 10-12 days will remove your problem permanently. I have tried it and have made it a habit.:)
