Sorry, was meant to post this in Beauty
No problem on your mis posting hun.
I used that stuff to rub on my ears when I had just had them pierced, was told it would 'harden' the skin.

Think it's just like the old Clarins No. 2 toner, quite alcoholic and strips the skin of its' natural oils. Your friend must be using a good moisturiser!

Some old soldiers used to wee-wee in their boots to

1) Kill any bacterial infection
2) Make skin harder
3) Prevent other soldiers stealing their kit.

Regarding number 2, surgical spirit is used to harden the feet and thus prevent blisters.
It will dry your skin out and it will crack if you are not carefull!!
My bf wee-wees in his boots. But he's not in army?
That's a little scary, vanillaface.
Ever considered changing your bf? I'd hate my Jimmy Choos to be peed in..
