normal body moisturizer to your feet and hands, be extra generous in
between the toes. When you have a thick layer of cream all over your
feet, slip on comfortable cotton socks on your feet and latex gloves on
your hands. Leave gloves on for 1 hour. Leave socks on all night. The
next morning your feet will feel like baby skin. Repeat once per week
to maintain softness.
