Exfoliate while you're in the shower with a pumice stone or foot file. Eucerin brand lotion is an excellent moisturizer to restore dry feet back to being moist and supple. Be on the lookout for socks that contain moisturizer in them. You can wear them around the house or in your sleep.

Since dry skin may affect skin-covered parts, it often appears on the feet. A good choice of moisturizers can help a lot. An all-natural cream that contains natural oils that gives soothing and glowing results is another good option. If your skin cracks open, your doctor may prescribe wet dressings with mildly astringent properties to contract your skin and reduce secretions and prevent infection.

First of all, if you have itchy feet and the skin is flaking or rolling off, consider that you might have athlete's foot. No matter how much lotion you put on athlete's foot, it will not ultimately help it because athlete's foot is caused by fungus and needs to be treated with antifungals.
If you don't have athlete's foot, then you can use any number of lotions. There are special ones that are made for feet but body lotion will work too. Some people even use petroleum-based products such as Bag Balm or Vaseline.

I recently purchased the PedEgg. It worked wonders on the dry skin on my feet! It took it all off and my feet look young and pretty again! I highly recommend this product! (my feet were really dry and cracked but now they are smooth and soft!)

Get a pumice stone. There's this made for TV thing called the Ped Egg that is supposed to get rid of dry skin, too.

My friend is a massage therapist, and she recommends a sugar scrub (one small bottle of olive oil mixed with 1-1.5 lbs of brown sugar), followed by a thick lotion. We make our own lotion mix. It contains 1 small tub of vaseline, a small bottle of baby lotion, and 2 small jars of vitamin e oil (mix all together in a bowl using a mixer until fluffy and smooth). This lotion not only works great on feet, but works on your entire body! I love it and haven't used anything else since i discovered the recipe
