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

yes I was about to say 8 hour cream! gives me baby feet and I’m a runner/swimmer

I have these cropped socks which have a gel lining around the heel. If I wear them to bed, they magnify the effect of the heel balm (Flexitol), and stop it rubbing off. Also feet don’t get too hot as your toes are out. I like Margaret Dabbs for a general foot moisturiser, but there’s nothing like the Flexitol for cracked rough heels.

No where near as good as flexitol

I've been using the Scholl blue glass foot file, the sculpturally shaped one. Brilliant on dry or showered feet.

Now your heels are sorted, to keep them soft, keep them covered with socks as much as possible.

When I wore flip flops over the summer during the day, my heels became dry and cracked.

I love burts bees foot cream for my heels but they don’t seem to do it in the UK any more. Looking forward to trying done of these other suggestions.

I am also struggling with this. Trying Flexitol, pumice, soaking feet, wrapping in cling film after applying the Flexitol. It's not quick but gently improving.

I swear by E45.

Wow really!!

This is the only thing that has ever worked for me!!

Imo it's consistent application of foot cream. Not once a week. Plus a foot file

Of course (Hindsight being 20/20 Vision, I don;t want to sound like Captain Bleedin' Obvious )

Prevention is Better than Cure

If you keep up the good work not wait till you want to expose your feet .
They are one of the hardest working parts of the body and sadly get little respect .

Amlactin foot repair is the absolute business for softening really dry feet: https://uk.iherb.com/pr/amlactin-foot-repair-3-oz-85-g/116016?utm_campaign=1101l4683&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=genieshopping

I bought The Ordinary glycolic acid and the first night I used it , coupled with moisturiser on top and then socks , I was able to see smooth soft feet the next morning . I then copied the same routine the next week and my feet are lovely and soft .

I'm stupid and got tempted by a foot peeling mask. This is why my feet are awful. They were fine but I couldn't leave them alone. Now they are dry, tight, getting hard and look dreadful.

For me The Ordinary Glycolic toner is a routine fundamental, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Incredible toner for the face but as you say also very good on feet and also works particularly well on the tops of your arms. It’s also very very cheap considering how long a bottle lasts and its effectiveness.

Coupled with the Nuve silk 3 device my feet can be summer ready within a day or two.
