What's best for getting hard and dry skin off feet?

[minipie]

I've got hard, dry and flaking skin around my heel and the side of my foot. It gets worse in the summer when I wear sandals (which is also when it's on show of course; lovely).

I've tried various things over the years - a foot file which took hours of sanding for little result; a scalpely thing which took chunks out; a cream with pumice specks which did very little. Fish pedicure which just tickled.

What's the best solution please? Anything that really works and ideally for relatively little effort?

do a search in google images if you don't believe us!

The usual answer from me ......Flexitol Heel Balm from Boots......on buy one get one half price at the moment (I know, because I've just bought some today!). My heels used to be dry and cracked and bleeding, but not anymore, excellent stuff! CCS is nearly as good, but not quite.

Foot stone thing every single day in the shower. Takes a week or so but lasts forever and so you'll have amazing smooth feet. And the best stone I have found is one from Asda about £1?

See "every single day in the shower" is not what I'm after - it's never going to happen (I mostly shower with toddler banging on shower door getting impatient for her breakfast)!

I'd like something I can use intensively once at the start of the summer to get my feet in decent shape, and then maybe a top up once a month or so, until my feet go back into their boots for the winter. Is that unrealistic?

I did try Flexitol heel balm and it did actually work reasonably well... but just wondered if there is anything even quicker.

Off to google footner and NS8

Chiropodist? I see mine every few months

I just googled Footner and bloody hell! Looks good though if a bit yuck during the peeling stage. I'm def going to keep this in mind for next year pre sandal wearing season.

Oh my god! Googled Footner - that is SOOOO my kind of product. All off in one go, brilliant.

Will have to wait for a cold snap or holiday in remote location though as it looks like you have to keep your feet under wraps for a while!

Off to buy. Thank you.

It's only a couple of days. Go for it!

Will try Footner - but the answer for me was a really good pedicure. Amazing! I have never felt proud of my feet before and they were actually pretty for WEEKS.

Then I heard a radio programme about how people working in nail salons are frequently indentured slaves working all hours for nil money [sigh]
