I use Johnson's baby oil on my very dry feet
I wear socks after application.
I don't know if Oilatum is still available but anhydrous lanolin is the best solution .
And please be careful not to slip in the bath or shower .

I always buy foot cream from the Mercadona supermarket in Spain. Not at all helpful I know! But as long as it’s got Urea in it it should do a good job - I find CCS Foot Cream from Boots very good. I just wear fluffy cotton socks from Primark.

I love the cracked heel cream from Home Bargains.

I'd recommend Bio Oil. It's light, very healing to skin and smells lovely.

I can't sleep in any garment that fits closely , has to be loose and baggy so I'd borrow DH's socks.

You can buy socks specifically for this purpose in Poundland they’re like little cotton ankle socks I use them myself..
I just use a generic moisturising cream on my feet..

The skin on my feet has become very dry and I have hard skin on my heels.

I would like to use an absorbent moisturising/hydrating foot oil or cream overnight to help with this and, to avoid grease getting on to sheets, I want to wear thin socks

Can anyone recommend a foot oil or cream and socks to wear overnight in bed? I am not diabetic so don't need products suitable for diabetics.
