Coconut oil is fab for dry skin

Lots of cream and wearing socks instead of bare feet, especially at night.

Mind you bit warm in this weather!

At bedtime, wash feet and while they're still slightly damp, put Lansinoh on any problem areas. Put on a nice soft pair of not-too-tight cotton socks so you don't get Lansinoh on the bedclothes. In the morning, your feet will be as soft as a baby's feet!

I had this and a chiropodist said I needed a cream that was 25% urea like Flexitol Heel Balm.

The first few times it stings like hell when you put it over the cracks.

However within a week the cracks will have healed.

I'd tried all sorts of heel creams and lotions and had had cracks for years. I couldn't believe the problem was solved in a week.

Now I just put some on once in a while if they are looking a bit cracky - not even every week.
