I've never, ever scrubbed at my heels. I'm not afraid of or offended by feet, but treat them more like a tool. I should probably invest in a pedicure pretty soon and maybe not have such hard heels. :P

Rex, even that standard Nivea jar cream ($8 in Canada?) on your feet would be just tickety boo under those socks. And I believe it's odorless and not so girlie, if that's a concern. Actually, the Body Shop has a hemp hand cream that's AMAZING and might be a good idea on your feet as well. I'm a huge fan of it.

My ex had heels like that guy from the Fantastic Four - you know, the brick one? It was like sleeping with rocks sometimes. Mine are a bit better but not by much. I do see a lot of neglected heels in warm weather.

I don't mind girlie so much as packaging is concerned, but not that French Whore perfumey thing.

:lol: Definitely try Nivea or some kind of basic cream like that. It's a good catch all cream to have around in general. Which reminds me, I need some. :D

I've actually been avoiding these threads (I mean how much more stereotypical can I get :D), but I have a question that needs answering - WHAT do y'all do for your feet during the winter so they don't get all dry and rough?

1. The Body Shop's shea butter scrub in the shower at night.

2. The Body Shop's aloe body butter immediately after the shower, and put on socks.

3. Whatever lotion I grab in the morning (either Lavanilla body butter or something from The Body Shop--often their aloe lotion--both of those are a not as thick as the body butter I use at night).

dry shampoo - does anyone have one that is dark enough for thick, dark brown (almost black) hair? whenever i use even the dark haired formula, it still looks like i've put baby powder on my hair in an attempt to make me look older for a school play.

thanks!

I've had this problem too. I have this Bumble and Bumble stuff that works pretty well, but it's not perfect. It's just the plight of us really dark-haired people...hair companies tend to forget about us.

Thanks, ladies :respec:

cruisin, I wanna get the Soul Owner Foot Cream - it has mood enhancers!!! :inavoid:

One of my resolutions is to take better care of my feet. I want to wear sandals and flip-flops this summer, but it ain't happening if the dogs ain't alright NOW...

IMO, feets are the least attractive part of a person. I obsess over bad dogs, especially my own.
Skin recycles itself pretty regularly - you'd only have to start scrubbing a few weeks before summer. :)

My roommate swears by L'Occitane's foot cream. It's on the pricey side but...yeah. She swears by it. :lol:

Socks definitely help, but be careful. My feet are apt to get itchy when they're socked all the time (fungus! Nooo!), so I personally try to avoid socks whenever it's warm and my feet sweat. My bf is constantly wearing socks and his feet are fine, but he only wears wool, which wicks away sweat. Cotton absorbs sweat and it sticks next to your skin. Not good.

Thanks, Andora.

Sometimes I use Vaseline, but that can be messy. And I'm also too cheap to spend the $$$ on those creams - they can get pricey.

Guess I'd better shell out some dough, then...

Rex. I use vasoline (and a lot of it) and then put on 2 pairs of socks and go to bed. When I wake up I have the softest feet.

the kind of sloughing (is that the right word) that they do when you get your pedicure became illegal in PA as of 1/09 so a pedicure wouldnt be as helpful as it used to be

I'm sure there are salons still doing it but I would be leery about a salon that wasnt concerned getting fined

Best Bath Store has a really great foot scrub. It's got a bunch of oils so it will soften your feet immediately. You can also order 5 decently-sized samples from there for the cost of shipping ($7).

I love their Lemon Lime lip balm (http://www.bestbathstore.com/lip-care/lemon-lime-lip-balm/). It's an even better version of Fresh's Sugar lip treatment, for a tenth of the price.

My feet have the same issue as yours Anita.. I've found that bamboo socks are fantastic! I got a bunch at Walmart (their George Line has them at a decent price) I highly recommend! They're the only socks that don't make my feet feel like they're suffocating :lol:

No doubt most people will find this horribly gross, but... I deal with the hard skin on my heels by having a good soak in a hot bath and then simply scraping at it with my fingernails. I have a foot file that I use at the end to get it more evenly smooth, but it's by far the most effective way I've found for really getting into the deep layers of it.

And if they're really dry I slap on a bit of Lush Dream Cream after, but that's my answer to everything :P
