I've solved my manky heels!

[JunesDunes]

I had heels like hooves. It didnt matter what I did or used. Now for the first time in my life, I have finally got pink, smooth and soft heels!

I know it's a common question on here.

It's taken 3 weeks so it's not a quick fix. I used Dr Scholl perfect pedi a few times a week. The first few times were pretty hardcore but now it's just a quick go around so takes a couple of minutes.

Most mornings I put body moisturiser on them. Then every night I'd use Flexitol. The one that says it works in 3 days sinks in better than the 1 day. I'm now alternating the flexitol with the multitude of other foot lotions I have.

It's this pedi perfect (worth shopping around).

HTH someone

Doing exactly the same myself plus a foot peel from one of the cheap shops.
Hopefully I can wear sandals without embarrassment.

I'm a veteran of old terrible feet and I find any of the scholl creams as good as flexitol and definitely better than Margaret Dabbs

But you have to use it every night

Thanks for the recommendation.
I had the flexitol from my heels cracking as the flexitol fixes that quick quickly. I have a million different creams that I need to work through before I buy scholl. 🤣
I do have the Margaret dabbs from the liberty box but but didn't do anything. I'll try again now I have nice feet.

Yy same re box

OP, when you apply flexitol at night, do you wear socks to bed?

@thistimelastweek not the OP but I’ve been trying to revive my hobbit feet and using Flexitol. Yes to socks at night otherwise I find it all rubs off on the sheets. I specifically use some Nike trainer socks that are almost a towelling material because if I use normal ones I wake up with fluff plastered to my feet.

Vaseline is just as good or better and much much cheaper- mine were horrendous but Vaseline with socks every night and they are smooth as anything now

The Aldi version of Norwegian formula hand cream. Life changing and bloody cheap.

Palmers cocoa butter. The solid stuff. Smells great.

Sometimes but I sleep hot and generally have my feet stuck out to keep cool. 🤣

I dont have any vaseline but have tried vicks which is basically vaseline and but it didnt do anything. I quite liked the tingly coolness though. 🤣

No

I wish we had an Aldi by us.

https://amzn.eu/d/00tkI7UU I’ve got one of these…use it on your feet when dry….its amazing!!!!

If you use Flexitol , apply to damp skin, ie washed and rough dry . Melt in your hands , apply , rub in well.
Cotton socks help it absorb with the heat and stop it going on your sheets .
Flexitol has the active ingredient urea which helps the water absorbtion.
Vaseline is a barrier balm

I use O'Keefes Foot Cream and socks

Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream, solved fhe issue very quickly for me. Also got rid of fhe crepyness on my chest.

How do you know when to stop though OP - you could go from Lovely feet to I’m bleeding quite quickly, no?

I’ve got the 1 day Flexitol unfortunately.

I have a tool like this I got from Lidl. It’s the best thing I have but the power seems weaker now I’ve had it a few years even with new batteries. Wonder if there’s a mains powered or rechargeable version

I solved my hard heel skin too but with a method I’d not considered before! I lost weight and reduced my BMI from 36 to 23.

and since then - heels never get cracked at all. I must have a google to see if there’s a correlation but I assume there must be

I accidentally solved mine by a mistaken purchase of Glycolic acid on Amazon. I thought I was buying it from the Ordinary but it was a dupe at 7% and was too much for my face. Not too much for my feet though. I use it 2 or 3 times a week and hard skin begone.

I have ingredients for beard balm... Could it make heel balm too?

@Divebar2021 do you have a link please? Sounds like a happy accident I wouldn’t mind trying.

I’ve got a similar foot file, but it was a tenner on Amazon. My feet are amazing after using it!

This stuff is ace, and only costs around a fiver. Rub it on liberally, pop a pair of socks on and leave overnight.
