There are two unfortunate things that make this spot "special": dry, bumpy skin (similar to keratosis pilaris on the backs of the arms) and cellulite. If the area is extremely dry, choose a rich body cream that contains shea butter, which is an incredible natural moisturizer. If it's dry and bumpy, use a cream with lactic acid to speed up exfoliation.

Aside from the occasional pedicure, we're almost all guilty of neglecting our feet. Fortunately, weekly at-home treatments can help turn them around quickly. Look for a special foot lotion that contains alpha hydroxy acid, lactic acid, or urea -- all of which exfoliate really well. Let the lotion absorb for at least 10 minutes before rubbing away dead skin with a warm washcloth or pumice stone.
