how do you get hard skin off your feet

[PussInBrogues]

trying to get sanda/flip flop ready

I use a Soap & Glory foot file & apply whatever hand or body cream I happen to have. I have used Urea creams but they smell like wee

Sometimes I use my penknife on the really thick bits on the joints of my big toes - skin seems to build up there even with regular filing

Any old moisturizer slathered on generously, then sandwich bags on your feet whilst you watch telly..feels lovely and warm..you can do the with your hands too.

An old razor!

I am afraid that I use fine sandpaper. Having tried all the pedeggs and so forth, nothing works so well as sandpaper if the hard skin is severe. Then I use Scholl cracked heel cream all over....it's not only good for cracked skin but dry skin.

I recommend you go for a decent pedicure to let an expert attack your feet and then keep it up with moisturising, foot scrub etc. They know how much to take off.
The Avon products are all good and cheap.

Liking the sound of Footners!

BeattieBow are you me??!

but, just how minging can your feet before before pedicure?

If I rock up with my tarmac-heel/hairy toe/weird resistant verruca combo, won't they run off screaming and proclaiming "we only want to make your toenails purrtee, take these monsters away!"?

oooh I didn't know you could still purchase Pedikur. I used to buy it from QVC years back - such fun scraping off the soggy skin with a butter knife..

My Mum has the mankiest feet ever..I once took a box cheese grater to it (using the zesty bit). She said it was the best anyone has ever done.

Flexitol is the business, its expensive but it absolutely does the job.

Glad I am not the only one who rates the Footner stuff! I am due another Footner sesh soon - as I said, really gross for a bit (and oddly satisfying) but the results are brilliant.

Another footner and flexitol user here... I'm now a runner (and 41 years old) and I have the babiest, softest, lovliest feet of life now that I use the footners in each bath and the cream morning and night :)

no no no no! Oh, I got that wrong, not FOOTNERS (I've not tried those), no it's these things I use in the bath.... astonishing!

newtons foot therapy sponges

Nice to hear that I'm not the only one to get pleasure out of skin falling of the feet!

Flexitol is good, I really need to get my feet sorted, I caught a close-up glimpse of them during yoga and nearly threw up on the disgusting things.

Not helped by the fact I also have a fungal nail infection that hasn't quite gone yet. Double vomit.

Sorry for TMI.

Footner!

The use a soap and glory file with flexitol afterwards to maintain your soft feet.

Marking place

Footner here too. I had forgotten I had done it and was in the shower and thought I couldn't feel the floor properly When I got out my feet were hanging off Dp was following me with the hoover for about a week but very satisfying and best my feet have ever looked

Footers sound like my idea of a fun week afternoon.

Footners bloody autocorrect.

Footners appear to cost £20 for a single use! Have any of you tried the cheaper Ebay versions?

I got it in superdrug was about 12 I think

Soap and Gory foot file!

I heard about soaking hard skin in a poultice of soluble aspirin - aspirin is salicylic acid, the same as in wart creams - then scraping off the softened bits, Soluble aspirin is cheap to buy. I haven't tried this myself but it sounds good!

a walk on the beach, if you live near sea, walk where the sea meets beach, nice soft feet
