I have horrible rough, dry, cracked feet. :(

Does anyone have a recipe to make them nice and soft again?

I would slather on some shea butter and thick socks to help it absorb. If your feet aren't bleeding, a sugar scrub before the shea would help too.

I do not have any shea butter, would hemp butter work? I have not ventured out into the butters very much at all.

*takes mental note to order shea butter*

not sure how you feel about it, but Emu oil would be good too.

Any butter will work, even crisco works but put socks on overnight

I do have crisco, though...ewww. ;P

The hemp worked wonderful my feet feel much better, now after just one night! I am going to have to order some more.

I never had a problem with my skin till I moved here, so all this dry, itchy, peeling skin thing is totally new to me.

LOL - I find it funny when people cringe about that. They're willing to eat crisco, just not put it on their skin. (it's vegetable based, not animal based)

I agree. Even olive oil helps.
