I know you’re right with this, my hands and feet are so dry, but I really hate the feeling of lotion. I don’t have feet anymore, my husband calls them chitinous hooves. My hands are sandpaper.
I bet it would feel great on your chitinous hooves! And I hate the feeling as well. The lotion was prescribed as part of my recovery from second degree burns. I found a way to tolerate it. Mostly including wiping my hands off between the fingers. So gross.
And how many of too many pancakes? And does the quality of pancake play a part in the equation?
Look into foot peels. They usually contain salicylic acid. I didn’t believe that alone would do anything but I’m now a convert. The aftermath is gross for a few days, but for a brief moment in time you’ll have baby smooth feet. A few tips:
Obviously patch test to check you don’t get a negative reaction
Soak your feet in warm water for about 10 mins before
Keep the foot peel socks on longer than it says on the packaging (if it says 60 mins, keep them on 90 min)
Put socks over the foot peel socks so the liquid reaches all the nooks and crannies.
Get comfortable and watch a movie or something while you wait
In the days following, soak your feet once a day for 5-10 mins. This speeds up the peeling time.
Wear socks and when you take them off, turn them inside out above a trash can.
Resist the urge to peel the skin off. This is the hardest step
Final step is to enjoy your smooth feet and look into repeating in a few months, especially if you have some very stubborn areas.
I tried one once and it helped a lot with the underside. I’m probably due for another bout tbh, and I think I have another package even. Thanks for the tips!
It says “product contains plastic”. The pictogram is telling you not to flush it (or otherwise improperly dispose of it) so it doesn’t go out to sea and kill a turtle.
I use a battery powered pumice stone basically to keep my calloused heels presentable and to keep the thickness under control to prevent cracking but I’m scared of fully removing the hardened build up since I’m in workboots all day at work. Seems like a blister risk but I could be wrong.
Regular lotion on feet, hands, elbows, knees, etc. is worth it.

Too many pancakes is a lot of pancakes, let me assure you. Even mediocre pancakes can get absolutely demolished!
🤣🤣🤣🧡

Do you have a brand that you like?
I’ve only ever used this brand:
Not sure you can find it outside of France though. I’ve heard good things about BabyFoot but can’t vouch for it I’m afraid.
Why is that suggesting don’t throw in the toilet but toss into the ocean and kill a turtle?

Should have put a /s, I thought it was funny is all. Like they don’t want it to be flushed but fuck it toss it in the ocean, just turtles in there.
