Your favorite treatment for dry feet?

What do you use to help soften rough, tired feet? I have Burt's Bees coconut foot stuff, which I like OK, but the oiliness is kind of off-putting to me. Also, I try to put stuff on and sleep with socks on over it... but ick! I hate sleeping with socks on! LOL Any other recs?

Cool! Thanks for replying, I also replied to your other thread before noticing you'd also replied here. Duh!

That info you posted is very cool, lots of stuff to consider.

Ohhh... athletes foot, eh? I didn't think about that. I don't think I have it now, but I did have it when I was a young teenager and playing basketball. Hmm, I'll have to keep an eye on that. Thanks!

You might also want to look into something that has a touch of Tea Tree oil ..as often rough/dry/calousy feet are another form of Athletes foot and the Tea Tree oil will help with that.

i've tried some higher priced stuff like Fresh, but didn't see any major difference from drugstore stuff. ended up using a tiny bit of baby oil on both feet & covered w/socks to really soften them. i know you don't like it, but honestly, it's the best thing that worked for me.

like naturally said, use a pumice stone & apply something after ASAP. helps rid all the dead skin cells & softens the feet immediately.
