After you've applied the lotion, put on a pair of clean white cotton socks. Keep them on overnight. The cotton wicks away moisture while the lack of dye eliminates the possibility for any dye irritating the skin. Some beauty stores will even sell the socks. If you want to save yourself some money, just use a pair of white cotton socks that you already own. Other home remedies include applying banana pulp to dry areas and leaving it on for 10 minutes before rinsing with water. Some people suggest soaking feet in lemon juice for 10 minutes. There are many cure-alls that will kick the dry skin problems that often plague your feet.
