3rd Trimester

Oww my feet :(

Anyone else have really bad cracked feet, especially their heals?! It just started probably a week ago, I'm guessing it's due to the extra 40 lbs I'm carrying around :( any good types of lotions out there to recommend? I've been using st Ives but it's not helping

Re: Oww my feet :(

  • There's a really great Burt's Bees lotion for cracked feet that you use and then put socks on afterwards. I can't remember the name but I get super dry too and that seemed to help.

  • I just need something. I haven't had cracked feet like this since I used to work as a line cook 3 years ago :/
  • With my cracked feet I just went and got a pedicure and let them scrape and scrub 'em, it did the trick.
  • That sounds tempting actually lol
  • Pedicure and coconut oil!
  • Yup! As a matter of fact my entire body is sooooo dry no matter what I put on. I went for a pedicure the other night and she used warm oil and then I put on cotton socks after my toes dried. That helped! I think I may get some dry oil mist from the body shop a girlfriend suggested it for really dry skin.
  • Therapeutic cracked heal cream from Avon! Cheap and thick and has lidocaine which makes your feet feel so nice at the end of the day!
  • I buy organic vitamin e lotion for my feet. Of course I don't think organic makes it work better but it's what i found. It's really rich and creamy and keeps my very sore, tired, dry feet feeling pretty good. I would use it as maintenance after a good pedicure :-)

  • Another trick is putting vaseline on your feet/heels and then putting a pair of socks on. Leave it on for a few hours or overnight if you can stand to wear socks to bed. After about a week my heels were super soft and smooth. 
    This ^^^ or any good lotion. I do the overnight with the socks all the time.
