Hello Ladies,

If the world comes to an end tomorrow, I'd like to go out looking fresh and smooth! May I have some feedback from you?

I can't find a good product to "smooth out" my cracked heels. They're not baaaaad lookin', but I want to keep dem lookin' good

Any of you have dark circles? How yuh handle dat?

Eagerly awaiting your responses!

there is a cream at target in the foot care section that if used overnight leaves your feet nice and soft the next day.

Never mind the cracked heels, yu not gonnaneed it anyway, but for the dark circles etc, get yourself over quickly to a costume store, buy a mask.

i have the worst dark circles, and have tried EVERYTHING out there. nothing works. the best you can do is get enough sleep, drink lots of water and use Bobbie Brown concealer.

Thanks, TNY! can you remember the name?
About the dark circles, I have lots of trouble sleeping so I guess that's a major contributor. I'll look into BB.

Do you have a family history of dark circles under the eyes or congestion problems? If so, then don't even bother with expensive stuff. Every products I've tried on my face when I was a kid didn't work...however, Oil of Olay products does wonders

...they have stuff for that as well.
As for the feet..regular pedicures and filebrush for you to do at home when you shower works not to mention believe it or not Avon has a line for that and it does a great job

Thanks Cherie. No dark circles or congestion in the family. Oil of Olay is also at Target. I'll ask the resident Avon lady at my work to show me her catalog. Pedicure dus tickle bad, bad

Best, cheapest product for mild heels problem is petroleum jelly.

Anta, I tried that. I guess I have to put it daily and I am terrible with regimens.

That probably means nothing else will work for you.

I have a miracle for cracked heel...seriously.

Used coffee grounds (even the ones after percolating your coffee) mix with olive oil and some course brown sugar, let it soak for a bit and just massage it on to your feet. It exfoliates and soften your feet so good! I do that weekly.

A friend went to Costa Rica and had a full body scrub with that mix. She told me about it and ever since that's all I use. I can vouch for it. Living in Florida we must have flip flops/sandals ready feet!

I can't remember the name, but it's the ONLY overnight foot cream they have. It comes in a small purple/white tube and cost about $6.

make sure it's moist enough with the oil. Avocado oil is another good oil to use with it. Don't rub too hard or it can bruise your skin...gentle rubbing will do the exfoliation. After that just pack on the rest and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing off.

Before this home made concoction I used a foot scrub from The Body Shop that was awesome too. I don't remember the name but lots of brown sugar in it and peppermint oil.

Riya, I'm writing all of your tips in my notebook. Thanks!

ShanB, next beach day, I'll try the sand.

Darkness under the eyes can also be a weak liver, one liver flush coming up.

Shea butter works on everything.

Sita, did you try Riya's remedy?

I mixed the three ingredients, but I don't think it was moist enough because it did not "stick".
Riya, do you have a photo you can post?

TNY, I didn't make it to Target this weekend.
Cham and Cain, I think it's time for me to get some shea butter.

Figgy, ah don't know wah fuh telly you!

I use this product for the past 2 years and it has my heels soft and smooth, I heard it is also good for removing marks from skin, but not sure on that.

For nice smooth skin, use Olay skin cream with Shea Butter.
