Help I need a miracle hand and foot cream?

Have been using Boot Botanicals Overnight Foot Cream and hand cream and they haven't made much of a difference.

Today my left heel is really sore and theres a bit of sock fluff stuck in one of the cracks of my cracked heel. Am also fed up with getting little cuts on my thumbs and fingers next to my nails.

I put cream on my hands about 3 times a day and on my feet about once a week when I remember.

Any recommendations for hand and feet creams that work (oh and don't cost a fortune) I'm fed up being a cracked old hag!

These are great products, havent tried on cracked heels though.

CCS cream or flexitol for the feet.

Apparently waitrose bottom butter is fab for the hands. My dh has some Aveda hand relief cream ( sounds kinky but actually it's for gardener's manky hands!) and it's excellent - about £17 though.

Body Shop Hemp foot cream is fab - I have horrible feet loads of dry skin and well just yuck feet and its the only thing that makes them look presentable. Smells a bit 'old biker jacket' but then I like that kind of smell.

Body shop hemp hand cream's great too. And Flexitol is supposed to be the best thing for feet. Or go to a chiropodist and have it all sorted.

Flexitol is excellent for foot cracking and I think second to none..

My mum gets the little cuts near her nails at this time of year. By sheer accident (ok, partial desperation) she used some Germolene "second skin" stuff that you paint over cuts instead of using a plaster. She has no trouble with them now, and that only costs a couple of pounds.

Yes - agree about the New Skin stuff - great for cracked fingers, not sure it would stand up to the pounding feet get, but worth a try.

What i do about every fortnight is to smother my hands and feet in vaeeline, put on a pair of old socks and a pair of cotton gloves (get the gloves from the chemist) and sleep with them on. In the morning my hands and feet feel really smooth.

New Skin! Yes, that's it!
Rubbish for feet, I would agree.
