Ruby, Your feet have no oil glands but they do have at least 250,000 sweat glands. When the bottom of the feet get a serious build up of dry skin called XEROSIS the sweat production decreases and you have less ability to store moisture. So you get a callus.
Urea is a water magnet that *draws water from deep tissue to the surface of the dry skin.* Urea is protective, antimicrobial, anti itch/inflammation and also helps anti fungal agents penetrate the skin. Do not use in between toes on a diabetic ok. Here is a good rule to follow : Humectrants attract water to skin....Moisturizer/barrier hold water in skin.....Lubricants are oils that reduce friction Check out the good ingrediants you want to look for in foot creams; Urea-water magnet Dimethicon-reduces friction Lactic acid-exfoliate Alovera moisturizes and lubricate Tea tree and emu oil-anitceptic and lubricant. Lastly I use a line called FootLogix that contain Urea and chlorotrimazole which is another antifungal used to treat a variety of fungal infections. (ps I do not wk for footlogix...lolol Ok I going to sleep. The holiday rush happend all at one time just like normal.
