Parents Dry Skin

[xxStumpyxx]

My youngest gymmie has dry skin on the bottoms of her feet around her heels, is this something that a lot of gymmies get or is she just going to be one of those that suffers from this? My other gymmies feet are ok, but then again by oldest wears socks a lot in the gym and my youngest does not wear them at all in the gym.

My ds has trouble with that. He chalks his feet too, so that is a problem. He lotions them at night and sleeps with socks on and that seems to keep it at bay.

Thanks, going to try that, if she will let me touch her feet - she is so ticklish

 

[skschlag]

Oh, he does it. I do NOT touch his feet

Lol, sorry I couldn't help it. I will have to get my daughter to put some cream on herself, she should be able to manage it. I will just supervise.

DD has the same problem on and off, even before starting gym. Are your DD's shoes leather? We learned that non-leather shoes contribute to/cause the problem (apparently it's a thing for some people).

I agree that lotion helps when it flares up - but it doesn't completely eliminate the problem for us. Leather breathable shoes really do help my DD.

Good luck!

I also have very dry skin especially during winter period.
I apply some natural home remedies. They are not only cheap, but also quite effective in nourishing and hydrating dry skin back to a healthy state.
Olive Oil
Milk Cream
Milk
Honey
Yogurt
Coconut Oil

Just bought this for my son, and it seems to be helping a lot. His feet were so bad they would bleed when he tumbled....here's hoping it keeps working!

Skschlag, no problem. Oliviablonde is a new member and they often get over eager finding threads to respond to.

CeraVe lotion for the skin and Vaseline on feet or gloves on hands at night. Works like a charm

Coconut and Olive oil are extremely helpful, just apply them before going to bed. I remember this advice from Link Removed interview, my cousin already tried that and it works!
