WHats the best device to get rid of hard skin on feet?

[Purplerainbow]

I used to use a ped egg and loved it but I'm not sure you can still get it. Iv seen a few diff electric type foot file devices.... can anyone tell me which are worth a go? My feet aren't terrible, I use scholl cream on them but want to do them properly before holiday.

As we speak I am lying in bed with my trotters smothered in Flexitol and cotton socks on. SEXY. DH is

I got the Scholl electric pedi thing out earlier. I do enjoy the little clouds of skin that float around in the air as I use it

@Lucked I have bought the cream you recommended but it's got no instructions. Please can you tell me what exactly I'm meant to do with it please.

I have just this morning spent £27.50 with a state registered podiatrist and I am floating along. No massages or nail polish or 'feel good' stuff, quite a clinical setting, no expectation of a tip etc, stuff but nails all looking great (even the two that were stood on by a horse years ago and are about quarter of an inch thick - they've been buffed down to a more normal thickness so I can cut them again myself for a while at least). My ingrown toenail has been sorted, I've had a corn removed and all the hard skin is now in her bin . Quick, painless, businesslike and effective. No dead skin lying in my bed for two weeks. Highly recommended.

A Newton sponge is absolutely the bizz and very cheap, lasts forever too

Use UREA 40 cream preferably at bedtime and after taking a shower or washing on a slightly damp skin surface. Apply little cream to the effected area and rub gently until the cream is fully absorbed by the skin. Apply as needed and use continuously for 2-3 weeks for best results. Due to higher concentration of Urea 40%, there will be some residue or a white film on top of the skin and in order to minimize this effect we recommend that you gently rub it into the skin when it is damp.

I haven't bothered with damp skin at bedtime as I shower in the morning. The residue is very minimal, you can't really see it.

i had devil's hooves, then, on podiatrist advice (after a £30 visit to have them carved off, ) now use a simple foot file-(like a huge smooth nail emery board) on the dry skin areas, then gehwol blau over all foot , and gehwol med on heels and callouses, twice a day.

even after neglecting them over the winter, my feet were lovely in less then a week, just using the file and gehwol.

the smell is lovely too (rosemary, pine and lavender) -

gehwol have a range for all kinds of foot issues, and each cream uses different essential oils; i find it better than flexitol by far.

disclaimer - i am not a gehol rep!! lol

Margaret Dabbs foot file is amazing.

I have horribly bad feet - but I just had a pedicure at the weekend so they feel great at the moment.

I saw an advert of the footner and really fancied it (slightly sicko thought of peeling all the skin off appealed...).

But I normally use a scalpel, the scholl diamond pedi, a traditional scraper and CCS heel balm (the latter recommended by the chirpodist). I I find sanding is better when they are dry not wet as with better friction it scrapes off more.

This has inspired me to put some cream on them tonight....
