→Witch Hazel and Lanolin 4/5
I mixed Rubbing Alcohol, Witch Hazel and Olive Oil in equal parts and applied it to my feet over night. I put it on my feet generously and then covered in thin socks. I found that this not only seemed to help the skin thicken, but it also make the skin very flexible and 'leather like', without the cracking that comes with just rubbing alcohol. '''Update: I have found that using alcohol hand sanitizer gel produces a mixture that applies much easier. The thick consistency allows a thicker layer, plus the mixture does not separate.'''
== Witch Hazel , Lanolin and Lanolin Olive Oil 4/5==I've found this slightly more effective than the rubbing alcohol/witch hazel/olive oil. It can be tricky The olive oil is added to make the mixture softer, and to get help the witch hazel and lanolin to mix, and the lanolin will only absorb a small amount of witch hazel.
