How do I get nice feet by Friday PM

Hello!

I'm a bridesmaid at a wedding this weekend and I've just noted by feet do not look great.

I don't tend to wear shoes in the house or garden and flip flops when out so they're very rough and a tad ingrained with dirt Blush

Is there some miracle thing I can do to soften them up

Thank you

Book a pedicure for Friday PM
Before then go and buy a pumice stone or better still one of the chiropodist sponges I think they are made by nelsons?

Soak feet for ages, pumice and apply flexitol and leave it for a few hours then repeat the soaking and pumicing. Trim and file nails and push back cuticles and apply flexitol overnight again.

Get a good foot scrub too the peppermint body shop one is nice then go for the pedicure and they will be so much better

You can get foot masks.

See a chiropodist if you possibly can

Absolutely slather your feet in a thick moisturiser, put socks on and leave overnight. Magic!

Proper pedicure with a chiropodist / podiatrist.

You need to go for a spa pedicure (make sure it's the full shebang and not just a file & polish).

They will do everything, foot soak, hard skin removal, foot masque/moisturising, toenails, file polish etc. Get a gel polish and it will last ages.

Takes about 60-90 mins, costs £25-40 quid depending where you live.

I have awful hard skin & picked bits to make bloody sore bits! Will see podiatrist to make an appointment

Thanks everyone, looks like I'll be booking a treatment. Such a hardship!

A long bath, foot file and lots of cracked heel cream then paint your nails.

pedicure if you can spare the time and expense.
if not, warm bath each evening with some soda crystals to soften the skin. rub off dead hard skin with a rough towel. then moisturiser & socks for a few hours (preferably over night)

Don't do one of those korean foot masks! Your skin peels like crazy but takes 3-4 days for it to get going and then your skin looks like a bag of parmesan. I learnt the hard way Grin.

Can you soak in hot water maybe, scrub with a pumice stone, get a pedicure to tidy up nails.

Pedicure.

I used to know a podiatrist that was pretty upset when people asked her for a pedicure! They are supposed to work on actual foot problems. Probably an expensive way to get a pedicure anyway?

stucknoue · 17/07/2019 15:33

Pedicure ASAP, many nail bars are open until 8pm and some have walk ins. Don't bother with gel polish but get a full pedi

PetrichorRain · 17/07/2019 15:34

One of those foot grater things and lots of scholl heal cream (or anything else with urea).

Scrape your feet with a pumice stone then slather on Vaseline and wear socks to bed. Do this for a couple of nights then get a lovely pedicure. I have to do this now and again and it works.
