How to Get Dry Skin Off the Bottom of Your Feet

Jeanne Marie Kerns
Do you have dry, scaly feet? If you live out in the West or anywhere else where it is dry, I am sure you do. Take these steps in getting rid of them as quickly and painlessly as possible.

This is what you will need to get those scaly feet, beautiful again.

Bucket of warm water
Epsom salt
Old toothbrush
Emery board
Vitamin E Oil

1. First get a bucket of warm water, not to hot, with a cup full of epsom salt. Allow salt to dissolve before placing your feet inside. Once the salt has dissolved, place your feet inside of the water, allow to soak for up to 30 minutes.

2. Remove feet from water after 30 minutes. Scrub gently with toothbrush to remove all loose, dry skin. This only takes a small amount of time. The skin should be very easy to remove. Rinse feet with water and pat dry with towel.

3. Once you have removed the excess dry skin, take the emery board and gently go back and forth on the area that is affected. Keep doing this until there is no more dry skin. Once again, rinse feet and pat dry with towel.

4. Once you have done all the steps above. Take the Vitamin E oil and rub on the affected areas, or all over your feet. Put socks on to keep the oil on your feet.

Repeat process for at least five days. Please note that it must be vitamin E oil, not cream. You can buy vitamin E oil at any health food or drug store.

    Sounds great. There is nothing as gross as scaly feet, actually there is, but you know what I mean.

    This is a great idea. I always thought dry skin on your feet was from a fungal infection since it is usaully so moist in that area due to sweat.
