Burt's Bees Coconut Oil Foot Cream

I am in my mid 30's and live in MN where the winters get cold and the air really dry = extra dry skin in the winter. I have always had troubles with dry skin, but of course, in the winter it gets so much worse. Last year for the first time in my life, the heels on my feet actually cracked. I had no idea how painful this can be. From then on I have decided to do whatever I can to avoid this problem in the future which lead me to buying an assortment of extra intense moisturizers. This buy far was the best and I continue to buy it. It is super thick and kind of like Vaseline, but thicker than that. You apply it before going to bed and need to wear socks with it which at first isn't something I wanted to do, but I got over that real quickly when I saw the results. I also love the smell of it - peppermint. This is going to sound a little weird, but it doesn't taste bad either. LOL! Not that I intended to taste it..... After putting some on my feet I picked up my cup and when I drank out of it I must have touched the area my lips came into contact with because I could taste it a little bit. Nothing chemically. I love the fact that this is Burt's Bees and that they use natural products. Other items I have tried: Heel tastic Intensive Therapy - I like that it is in a tube, like a big fat chapstick and you can "roll" it on your feet, but just didn't do much for me. Also, I don't like the smell. O'Keefes Healthy Feet/Working Hands - It soaks into your skin really quickly. I like it for my hands during the day, but still wasn't as great as Burt's Bees. ProLinc Calous Remover - I highly recommend!!!!! This is a fantastic product to use to help get the dry thick skin off your feet - whatever the season. You use it while showering - best to do it after you've been in there for a while and your skin is softened. Put it on your feet and use a pumice stone (or preferably a Ped Egg). I did find out the hard way though that if I use it after my feet are already cracked it is going to cause them to crack even more. Smith and Nephew Moisturizing Cream - I first tried this lotion when in the hospital after a surgery. This is an amazing thick lotion - a dense cream. I love this for my body, but still prefer Burt's Bees overnight foot cream to intensely moisturize my poor heals. I have continued to use Burt's Bees foot cream this winter (usually every other night) and haven't had a single crack in my heels!
