oh yes, flexitol , it is amaaazing! file feet, rub on flexitol,pop on socks overnight, bingo.

ThatBloodyWoman · 23/05/2014 20:38

Flexitol or Body Shop hemp.

I got the Flexitol Platinum recently and have been really impressed with it.

Flexitol is the standard go to for manky hooves but can I also suggest the Soap and Glory Heel Genius? Bought some on the 3 for 2 Boots deal last week, not expecting much from it but it smelt quite nice and I liked the tube shallow but it's actually really good.

Having read the ingredients it has a fair but if oils in it but also urea which is the stuff you need. Flexitol has urea in much higher quantities but also unfortunately smells like it does too. If you have really crusty trotters and don't mind smelling of wee for a bit then go for Flexitol.

Otherwise the S n G one is a good option.

Essay alert. Sorry.

Flexitol.

Does wonders IME.

I love Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream, have bought it a few times since getting a small tube in a gift set.

brook22 · 24/05/2014 06:51

I don't think it smells like wee, not that I've noticed anyway!

PolyesterBride · 24/05/2014 07:35

Udderley smooth is good too. It's recommended by my hospital for people with bad feet as a side effect of chemo.

Amber I do have a really sensitive sense of smell. Grin I guess if you aren't going to do weird yoga positions then it won't matter what it smells like on your feet anyway.

Coumarin · 24/05/2014 08:56

^the udderly smooth one looks good.

AllThreeWays · 24/05/2014 09:00

I have tried all sorts, and for me the only thing that worked was basic old Lanolin

lazypepper · 24/05/2014 09:09

I rate Scholl cracked heel cream. Am currently usong the Burts Bees coconut foot cream.
N
Ordered this on mn recommendations also. Newton podiatry sponge. So far so good.

AmberLeaf · 24/05/2014 11:38

Coumarin I don't have any flexitol in currently, but I now feel the need to buy some more just to have a good sniff! Grin

Those sponges are really good, Mine aren't exactly like that, they are brightly coloured, but do the same thing. in the summer I give my heels a quick scrub every day and it prevents the build up that leads to cracks and soreness.

WillowMoo · 24/05/2014 11:58

Footner socks left on for 2hrs, then a few days of picking (!!) then baby soft feet! A slather of body shop hemp has kept them soo soft for the last 4wks

Amethyst24 · 24/05/2014 12:45

CCS is the same as Flexitol without the wee smell. I had to stop using Flexitol because it freaked the cat out so much.

brook22 · 25/05/2014 19:58

Well I went and bought flexitol and I've had a good old sniff and I'm not detecting any wee thank goodness! 3 applications and my feet are much better I had a crack on one heel that hurt constantly which is now pain free whoop! Off to order some uderly stuff and the sponge smooth feet here we come! Thankyou ladies Grin

Oh good, always great when a recommendation off here goes well. I think I am just over sensitive to niffs. Smile

(((burst bees)))
