When the surface layers of the skin are depleted of the essential water content they need, they simply can't function properly - this is when we start to see dryness, peeling and cracking occur. O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet contains a high concentration of glycerin which helps to draw in and retain moisture.

Each night before bed I applied O'Keeffe's to the heels and balls of my feet. I'd cover them with a pair of warm socks and let the cream do its thing overnight. After just five nights of this routine, the cracks and pain were gone. My once too-sore-to-walk-on heels now felt brand new.

Working Hands and Healthy Feet work in the same way when applied to the skin however, Healthy Feet is made with a different formulation. Increased levels of allantoin in Healthy Feet help penetrate the tough, thick skin typically found on the heels and feet.

The two formulas are similar because they are made to hydrate extremely dry skin, but O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet contains more Allantoin to penetrate the tough, thick skin on your feet.

Serious side effects Signs of an allergic reaction, like rash; hives; itching; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin with or without fever; wheezing; tightness in the chest or throat; trouble breathing, swallowing, or talking; unusual hoarseness; or swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Side Effects Stop using the topical emollient and call your doctor if you have severe burning, stinging, redness, or irritation where the product was applied. Less serious side effects are more likely, and you may have none at all.

O'Keeffe's products have not been tested for comedogenicity for use on the face. We recommend using a separate non-comedogenic facial moisturizer formulated to be non-clogging to the pores.

To tackle this, foot creams tend to be heavier and richer, having a buttery, waxy texture, think cocoa or shea butter mixed with a thick cream. It's way heavier than the average hand cream, and has ingredients which you can't really use on thinner skin without breaking out in body acne.

When pro basketball players need dry skin relief, but can't do their jobs with greasy hands, they use O'Keeffe's Working Hands.

Little and often! It's no good using a moisturizer once a week – it needs to be done daily. Typically a small pea sized amount will spread all over one foot top and bottom. (Don't do between your toes – if it gets too moist there you can get a fungal infection).

Moisturize them every day with lotion, cream, or petroleum jelly. Don't put moisturizer between your toes. You want to keep the skin there dry to prevent infection. Avoid wearing tight-fitting shoes.
