You need a good emollient cream! And use it every day. No need for those fancy expensive creams. Simply get a tube that says emollient. You might not like the feel of the cream so get a small tube, just in case. Some creams feel greasy on the feet and it's really uncomfortable.

I got myself a foot scrub. Again, no need to pay lots of money for fancy pricey stuff because they're all the same anyway! Peppermint is the one to go for. After a bath, and with a pumice rock, I VERY GENTLY scrub all the dry areas of my feet. I dry my feet and then I rub in the emollient cream. Summer and sandals are my worst enemies so I tend to do that routine each and every day during summer time. I find it's also a good time to check my feet closely as I often walk barefoot outside. I know! We're not supposed to do that!

If your feet need cream every day well so be it! It pays off to take care of your feet... because very dry feet hurt SO MUCH!!!!
