Drink lots of water and use a good lotion. My feet often get the driest and for them I use NeatFeat and Heal Balm. It really helps keep them smoothe. I get it online at Therawear.com and its pretty affordable too, but I would pay anything for something that works. Anyway, if you're interested the the website is http://www.therawear.com/neat_feat_foot_and_heel_balm.html. I hope this helps!

Try Lac-Hydrin 12%. There is a generic form called Amlactin and Laclotion. In some states you need a prescription. Look for lotions containing lactic acid, gycolic acid, and urea. A milder form Lac-Hydrin 5% is available on drug store shelves. It costa about $20.00, but is worth it. It stinks, however!
Another cream called Carmol 20 is pure Urea. However, this one didn't help me.
Kinerase was recommended for my face - OUCH - it costs $136.00
