Removing hard skin from heels

[LOVELYDOVEY05]

Has anyone got any advice? I have seen various machines for this
but I am pretty sure you will still need some cream on afterwards.
Someone recommended soaking in lemon and warm water
then using the cream

I had a real issue with hard skin of the bottom of my feet after walking around the house barefoot during lockdown. I bought something that looks a bit like a cheese grater on a hairbrush handle and it worked fantastically. Very cheap and effective. No other creams or anything needed. You can buy them on amazon

The "cheese graters"are good but I find I need a cream with them. .flexitol is my preferred one.

Elsie is right.

• Get the metal foot file (look in the “foot health” section, not the “fluffy pedicure treat” section - the sandpapery ones you find there are useless).
• Go at your heels, dry, before bed
• Cover your feet in Flexitol (this stuff works)
• Wrap them in cling film.

They will be transformed by morning. Repeat the process if needed.

Those chiropodist stones thingies are good. Recommended in here.

The absolute best thing is having a pedicure where they soak and then shave the dead skin off. It's a bit vile but baby soft feet after!

Use one of the foot Sanders. Either Scholl or Boots own. Then apply Flexitol balm every day for a few days after sanding each day. This is the only thing that works. Don't bother with anything else as it's a waste of time, as nothing comes close to this method.

footner helped mine, once i done that i then used a foot cream and they are still quite soft

Agree with pps - footfile every day in the bath/shower, and Flexitol every night. This is a brilliant footfile www.boots.com/soap-and-glory-foot-buffer-10244770 - recommended on here years ago.

I use an electric mini pedi. www.amazon.co.uk/Emjoi-Micro-Portable-Pedicure-Device/dp/B005XUNG5I/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=Micro+pedi&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1595623715&sr=8-8

Is lockdown feet an actual thing then, mine are horrendous! Is it the no shoes?

I just got foot peel masks, they exfoliate all the dead skin off apparently. I’ve heard good things but not done it yet.

I cut the skin off with nail clippers. Then sand it down with a grater type foot scrubber and put Flexitol on. Occasionally I put Vaseline on my feet too.

As suggested already...soak..foot file and cream...Wilko one is good and cheap...keep at it each day though until soft !
