I have heard that using olive oil on my hands will soften them pretty good........... anyone know if this really works????
and if sooo, would it also work on my feet, I have extremelly dry feet, its been an ongoing struggle with my hands and feet all my life so im always looking for something else to try.

as everyone has said, it is really good. but the main thing is to put it on after having a bath or shower as the skin is more supple and warm so it will take in more moisture and as the pores close again as they cool, they will retain more moisture. You should exfoliate your feet on the balls and heels and sides of toes with a pumice stone or something similar whilst having a warm to hot bath, so that you removing the dead skin and exposing the new. Then moisturise, watch your carpet with oil on your feet or slipping on floors! Definitely sleep with socks on unless you want to moisturise your sheets too!

You must have a nice bank balance if you're considering olive oil! Where I shop the decent stuff isn't cheap! There are some good moisturizing creams out there, ask your local pharmacy which would be best for you as what works for one person may not be any good for you. Drinking a lot of water also helps dry skin. Good luck

Olive oil will most certainly make any dry skin soft again.Due to its natural high content of fatty acids.it has been used in my family for years for this pupose.its also used in my family to help make scars less visible and it works.although there are products out there now that work just as good if not better .olive oil works great if you jave ot lying around.corn huskers lotion works great to if you want to use it on your feet.

Cold pressed olive oil is excellent for keeping your skin moisturised and healthy.
Apply it after you bathe or shower while your skin is still moist to increase faster absorbtion and always apply before going to bed so your skin can absorb, heal and repair while you rest.
I used to massage my two children with olive oil up until they were about 3 or 4. Thanks for reminding me... I need to put some on my feet tonight! ;-)

It works really well. It's a mess, though. So I'd be sure and just put on a thin layer at night before you go to bed - and wear socks and gloves. It really can be a mess.
I have also found that cuticle cream works really well - I rub it all over my hands and feet each morning after my shower. It's not as greasy and works wonders!

I use oil from the aloe plant. It works wonders.
