I use a TON of lotion every day. LOTS. And as much throughout the day as necessary. It helps most if you do it right after you shower, use the kind that has an oil base. For your ankles and feet, just gob it on and put on a pair of socks. You should also use a moisturizing body wash (never soap). I found that Olay Body ribbons in the shower works pretty good for me too.
