Hello TBDer's,

With us being in the dead beat of winter here in Michigan it is never nice on our skin the coldness and dryness of it all. I was wondering if anyone out there in TBD land had any good home remedies for a good old fashioned footbath or footsoak to combat dry scaley feet, my poor hubby works long hours in these horrible work boots and his feet could use a good old fashion foot scrub that I don't mind giving him as well as use for myself. So are there any ideas or suggestions out there to help soften those tired dogs?

Honeybee, try this for your husband ....1/2 cup of baking soda to every gallon of warm water...soak 20 minutes..rinse well...pat dry....rub in Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Hydrating Lotion & put on a pair of nice soft cotton socks....sleep in the sock to hold in the moisture....Neutrogena Body Oil Light Sesame Formula is also great for dry skin. Good Luck!

Soften those pups up like Sapphire says, then you might wanna give 'em a good luffa scrub. Then, you might try some Bag Balm - works on cow teats, and you know those babies get a workout! I tried it years ago when I was flippin' burgers and my hands got trashed. Make sure he sleeps with socks on too.

My experience has been that if you do whatever Sapphire tells ya everything will be fine...:)

Honeybee-You should try Tweedle's advice too- I don't know much about cow teats or bag balm.. His suggestion may be just what you need. :)

Thanks Tweedledum, I'm going to get those items she talked about and try it out. Thanks again for your input as well. Hey where can I get that Bag Balm?
