Summer feet - HELP

[ethelina]

Ok, S&B is not a place I frequent much so this is rare territory for me. but I'm just coming out of the first 6 month dug of maternity leave and I need to pick myself up a lot bit for spring.

I need a foolproof regime to turn my cracked-heel calloused trotters into beautiful smooth-skinned pretty feet. Not sure a simple pedicure will do it though.

Can anyone suggest the right products and advice to turn them around before anything remotely open-toe is on the horizon?

Flexitol heel balm is amazing! Its only £4.50 and works wonders! I do advise to also use a pumice stone- which can be bought for about a pound in most places!

I have sorted my husband's feet. It took two weeks. Nothing will remove built up calluses overnight, although if really bad you can go to a chiropodist.

It's a two-pronged attack. Moisturisation overnight, with Flexitol, or another product with 25 percent urea in it.

Callus smoothing and buffing every day (one dry feet, I used to think it was better after the shower but now I don't), then the cream on top.

The best tools for this are not cheap but I've owned every cheap and expensive foot file (even going to the trouble of importing at vast hoo hah the Microplane one) and the best, the dogs' nads, are the Diamancel ones from Canada. Used on bone dry feet.

The Callus one (no 20) costs about 25 quid from TimetoSpa.co.uk and although it looks like nothing, this is an amazing tool. I have feet like a baby using this once a week.

I also have a Diamancel 11 (Tough Buffer) to smooth down and I've had this for about 10 years now and although it cost 39 pounds it's still going strong, it actually works and cost per use is obviously negligible.
