    I've used lots of brands... but my last resort is vaseline with a dab of noxema. Something in the noxema breaks down the vaseline so it goes right into your skin... :roll:

    This is my favorite (especially for Arizona winters). Have used it forever.

    Curelle is my favorite for my hands and body. It really helps during the cold winter months when you can be scratchy and itchy.

    I for got about that bag baulm. I am gonna try it on my feet this winter too. Thanks for reminding me.

    I agree with this. A dermatologist once told me that the best time to apply lotion is immediately after a bath or shower. He also said not to towel dry completely.

    Eucerin gets my vote. Nothing else has ever worked on my feet ever. I do use it all over, not just on my feet. It's great for hands. Even at the end of the day my skin still feels soft and moisturized without feeling greasy. I may try the Bag Balm though for comparison.

    I also use Eucerin, but find nothing helps cracked skin like Bag Balm.
    Have recommended it to many people who have really bad problems with their feet cracking and bleeding, they say Bag Balm has been a blessing for them.

    I think it is great. :)

    Eucerin does make your skin very soft, for sure, but does not have the healing properties as the Bag Balm for me.
    Udder cream never did a thing for me, but others like it.

    I can't really remember but I think it smells ok. Not nasty. It's made for cow's & other animals for cracked nipples.

    Most of the bag balm in stores is just made for hands of people. Read the contents on all products..try to stay away from the ones that list alchol as an ingredient
