On Oprah today, there was information on preventing and eliminating--- “Dry Heels”.
They recommended using Stridex Pads which contain - 2 % Salisylic Acid to exfoliate and then generously use eucerin cream (not lotion). They said within 1 week you will notice a difference. Go to Oprah.com for the info.


Dry lips – apply these lip balms before going to bed to prevent dry lips - neutrogena lip conditioner & l’oreal lip nutrition

Alpha Hydrox Lotion contains 10% urea and 10% lactic acid, stabilized in pure silk protein. It's also not only fragrance-free, it's recently been re-formulated to be odor-free.

Info from Ophra's show. I have not tried them.
