Dry skin on feets :(

I've been wearing flip flops for weeks due to my office being hotter than the surface of the sun, and my feet are getting all dry and scaly. Boo hiss.
What can I use on them that's stronger than a normal scrub (they have no effect), but not any kind of ped egg craziness? I am foot squeamish and DO NOT want to grate my feet! The worst part is in between my big toe and next biggest one (from the toe post), and it's still kind of tickly there, so can't take any really drastic measures.
Ideas?

Then pop some moisturiser on with some socks over to let it soak in
I rubbed at my feet with my towel after my shower this morning and a whole shitload of dry skin came off
Ooh, I'll try sea salt. That sounds like something I could do without cringing myself to death. I hate feet!
It's alot kinder than the feet graters you can get! I can't stand them, I'm fine with most things to do with my feet but using them makes me feel sick :sour:
Thought I'd best start addressing the situation before it gets worse and people run screaming from my lizard toes.
At least I don't have any manky growths or fungus or owt! British summer = lots of HORRENDOUS feet get exposed :yuck:

yea, my mother had one too. It's good for "horny skin" (-> callus?) (I put that into exclamation marks, because that's the translation the dictionary gave me. It sounds weird tho.) If they are just dry, it might be just best to apply some moisturizing cream and let it go in before you put on socks/shoes again.
Good suggestion :thumb:
Yay, glad you now have smoothy smooth feet now
It works quite well as a body scrub too :thumb:
