Lol, being a pretty intense foot fetishist, i can tell you

Give me a week with your feet and i'll have them perfect :)

Lol

What you can do is get lots of moisturizers, look for specifically lotions that have retaining properties, like 24 hour ones, or very dry skin stuff, etc.

Get yourself some foot scrub, which is a type of soap you use when you shower, and has teeny lil pieces inside that feel like micro rocks. Pumice, etc (exfoliation wash)

If you can, buy yourself a pumice stone, and soak your feet for about 30-1 hour, then lightly scrub at hard parts of your feet with the pumice stone, and hard thick skin will be scrubbed away (dont overdo it). take your time and rest frequeently, feeling your feet with your hands for sensitive and less-sensitive areas to find thick skin. Then finish off with the exfoliating wash again, wash your feet clean.

If your barefoot alot, your skin may be naturally thick, depending on where you walk, such as on hard wood floor or carpet, or outside or on stone, etc. Keeping your feet concealed more often helps keep em soft, at the price of airing them out (i make my bf keep his shoes on cause my foot fetish is related to smell.. lol)

put lotion before you go to bed at night, and again when you wake up.

Put lotion right after showers, after your feet have dried but have a soft warm touch to them, maybe LIGHTLY moist (never completely wet) -- this holds the moisture from the shower/bath in your skin.

If you take a shower, put lotion, but DONT put on shoes immediately, put a very light amount on later, when you DO put on shoes, right before slipping on socks.

Also, when you put lotion, use enough to make your feet lightly slick, not dry, but enough that you may think "oops, i put a tad too much" and then continue to stroke at your feet, fingers between toes, up and down soles and across your heels, take your time until you feel the lotion absorbed.

Just take general care of your feet, and you can get near baby-soft feet pretty quickly, within a week or so, as long as you continue to take good care :)

Good luck

Well I don't know about them getting to be as soft as a baby's, but, you need to use a good ultra moisturizing lotion or a 24 hour moisturizing lotion for your hands and reapply it after hands have gotten wet. ( try something by St. Ives or Lubriderm) As far as the feet go Its pretty much the same thing, the lotion seems to stay on and work a little better if you keep socks on and apply before you go to bed and when you get up. ( I have been using Dr.Scholl's overnight footcream and it has done wonders for my feet)

Most definitely moisturizing lotion. It helps to smoother skin, also using a moisturizing shower/body cream will help. Use the moisturizing lotion in the morning before school/work and at night before you go to bed. If you have thick or callused heels you should use a cream like "lotrimin". That should keep your feet soft. For your hands either Aveeno hand lotion or Neutrogena lotion. If those don't fit ur fancy - the Jergens is the way to go. Good Luck!

Moisturize your hands regularly. I use Dove. It contains almond oil so smells gorgeous as well as leaving your hands soft. You can buy special gloves to wear to bed once you've moisturized them. Try Crabtree and Evelyn. For you feet, you can buy rough boards to get rif of the dry skin. It's probably best after a bath when your skin isn't so tough and then moisturize them too!

Depends on what your feet are like. I take a huge dollop of Vaseline and rub them on my feet. Put some socks on, and got to bed. When you wake up in the morning, wash your feet. They should be soft. Try mixing some rolled oats( oatmeal ) in warm water and soaking your hands in it. Then apply a good hand cream, like Mary Kay, or Avon. One of them makes Satin Hands, one, Silicon Gloves. I think that they are both petroleum based........
No, I don't work for either of them, but they are good products.I like Avon's intense moisture cream. Yeah!!

Good luck. Newborns are just that new borns they don't use their hands and feet like us. What you can do to make them soft however is at night apply a nice coat of special cream for hands and one for feet and wear latex gloves on hands for sleep.
Use a glycerin additive in the cream is a really great ideal For example Glysomed is really good and the latex gloves. Regular night gloves only absorb the cream and the hands don't get the benefit of the cream. yeah its sort of hu hum but works well.

For feet that's a really tough rough one, especially if you want bare footed. Use a buffer first to take of all the rough skin and don't be hard on your feet easy goes it. You don't want to wear all the skin off. Same applies as the hands however I use a plastic wrap before I go to sleep Not every night either but for those special care nights. I don't do this regularly but should. Cream on the feet every time you go to sleep is good keeps the skin supple and smooth.
What I use is cream with Shea Butter in it. for both hands and feet. I find it works great ... but the results Newborn hands and feet will not happen. Sorry I wish I could too.
the Routine, that I use is
Buff, Exfoliate, add Cream and Wrap at night. If you do this more than I do it just might end up with baby hands and feet.
Wishing you luck and please let me know if it helps

I read this in a magazine once and I've been doing it ever since. Soak your hands and feet in warm water and whole milk. Then moisturize. I use Avon moisture therapy.

Use rough oatmeal with a little water and vit e oil - mix into a paste and softly rub over hands and feet.
Then wash off and apply a good moisturiser.

Works wonders!

well,first you could use moisturizing hand lotion during the day and when u wash ur hands use germ x. the kind with moisturizing aloe vera or just use lotion soap. and wen u go to bed put vaseline on ur hands and put gloves on. the hotter your hands are,the more moisture you'll get in ur skin. oh and if you are around doing nothing,put a few squirts of lotion in a sandwich bag, put it in the microwave, and put ur hands in it for a while.not too hot just warm!
if nothing else works the last one will 4 sure..
hope it helps and know it will

Exfoliate and Moisturize a few times a week. Make sure your moisturizer contains Shea butter or coco butter. They have great products at Bath and Body Works.
