Yes! Arbonne has an awesome body care set containing a body serum and hydrating lotion that does wonders! The products are botanically based and do not contain harmful ingredients such as alcohol, wax, dyes, chemicals, fragrances, mineral oil, acetone, etc. They are water based for maximum benefit and will deeply condition and hydrate your skin. Lotions that contain mineral oil, the molecular structure of which is too large to penetrate the pores of your skin, sitting on the top layer like saran wrap. Products that contain mineral oil get wiped off over time and have little to no benefit. This is why you find yourself reapplying your lotion three times a day. Scroll through the pictures in the attached website. There are some great before and after results. I think that it's best to try a product first to ensure that's it's beneficial to you before spending your money. If you're open to giving it a try, I'll be happy to send you a free sample.

I have this problem in the summer as well. It is very painful.
First you most remove the dry skin on your feet; this causes the cracking. Get a specialist skin removing tool (like a metal emery board) form a chemist and over a week take the skin off. Buy any proprietary cracked heel cream and rub onto the area. This will soothe it a bit, but the main thing is to remove the layers of hard cracking skin first.
This is very effective.

Soaking in warm H2O, then lotion applied daily. Less walking around barefoot during this time also, this exposes skin to air, salt, ground, etc. which dries it out. They have some good over the counter products (OTC) made just for feet & cracked skin.
Even Vasoline makes a lotion or creme now that is good, you can also buy a foot file ( I have one ) to scrub off the dead skin.
Be careful not to get too crazy with it, & cut down too far into your dermis layer where you can bleed.

All of Dr. Scholl's For Her foot products. The pumice scrub with a rasp works great. And the overnight cream with socks at bedtime makes the feet extra soft.

If your on your feet all day, then a good foot bath is a great idea! with some bath salts to soften the water. A good pharmacy would sell you some heel balm you can rub into your heels to soften them too! Have a good day!

shea butter is really good....put on some shea butter, and then put on some blue goo....you get it at walmart, in the footcare section, it's a thick product, it will also help soften your heels, while at the same time, allowing the shea butter time to absorb into your skin

There is a cream which softens ALL hard / dry skin.
It is VERY effective.
It is UREA cream. Ask your chemist / pharmacist.
Yes it is a by-product of urine, but this stuff is made in a laboratory.
I know it sounds yucky BUT it WORKS.
(It smells very nice)
