Hanelore, Ann is absolutely right on and the Vaseline can't be beat. It works, is long lasting and you won't find a cheaper product. Plus its perfectly safe always and you can wash the socks...I am never without my Vaseline.....Also if you should feel a cold or sore throat coming on rub Vicks onto the bottom of your feet, put on warm socks and you'll be better by morning....honest injun!
