YOU HORNED HOOFERS

Regular attention with a foot file and moisturising cream keeps mine looking OK, although I have to admit they do sometimes show the effect of a regular lack of footwear

I have been filing and creaming away at mine but they still look dry. I think I need to call in a professional .

embarassed to go to a chiropodist.

Flexitol also leaves slime everywhere

coco they have seen far worse than yours

does it hurt?

Coco, they don't chop your feet off. They just scalpel, very gently, the dead skin away and it feels really nice.

hmmm
is it a medical thing or a beauty place thing?

Had a pedi today.

I have already been filing and flexitoling.

She said "you don't have much hard skin, you just need some hydration"

when I go to the chiropodist I do find the scalpel really tickly though.

If you want a nice pedicure, with a massage, nail varnish etc, go and have your feet treated properly by a chiropodist first.

Coco, start with a state reg chiropodist - not beauty salon. Or scholl shop as cod says.

Doggie, I like that tickly feeling. Am I weird? The scalpel is the one thing I look forward to, and sometimes it catches a little and I like that too!

Have to say, I don't really feel the scalpel at all, but the power sander thingy really tickles.

i stocked up on Heel Balm last week.

now available in a larger tube.

use Flexitol at night and then wear cotton socks to bed.

Makes me squirm, it tickles so much. I always have to apologise to her/him (it's not that I'm not sure what sex they are, I'm just never quite sure who I'll see till I get there).

(that's the rotating sander that makes me squirm, not wearing socks to bed, btw)

Is the talk of rotating sanders real? Or just to strike horror into my heart?

It's real, but it's just to make them extra smooth. Honest - none of this hurts - it's dead skin, so it's like having your hair cut. No feeling.

I thought dry cracked heels were because of some kind of nutritional deficiency (no idea what though )

I never have dry heels. But then I rarely get em out. I will refer back after the pedicurist tells me off tomorrow.

Ooh - next time I am in KL for work I am going to the fish pedicure place where the fish nibble off the dead skin on your feet

Til then, I am making do with Waitrose Bottom Butter.

Nero, is bottom butter good for feet? have stockpiled some tubs that i need a use for.

Oh my, I forgot about the sander. Lovely sander.
