People with calloused heels, a q.

[scotty]

Can you recommend a hardcore heel file/scuffer (the type used after a good soak), aside from the PedEgg (worthless for my feet)?

I am seriously in need of an electric sander, this sh*t isn't funny.

Avon's Cracked Heel Cream for the bad cracks and their Callous Cream for daily lotion

p.s I don't sell Avon but I do buy their stuff ALL the time and this stuff works great for my H's disgusting feet!

[krismill]

I'm no help because I use PedEgg. When I remember to use something. Mine are awful - I get terrible looks from pedicurists every 3-4 weeks. I've been told to use baby oil on them every day. I haven't done it yet, but it's worth a try. Sorry I don't have a suggestion for a tool.

Pumice stone, after every single damn shower. I keep it in the shower and scrub a dub a little bit every time. Keeps the worst of it at bay.

Other than that, heavy lotion and socks at night if it gets terrible.

[catsarecute]

I don't have any recs for a file but use Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream. It is amazing. I have awful heels and after just three uses and some light heel filing, they are much improved.

The stuff is pretty greasy so I put it on at night and wear socks until the dries but honestly, it is a miracle cream.

guys, when you hack away at your calluses with something like a ped egg, they come back bigger and badder.

the daily pumice is a good idea, it's not so aggressive

And good old Vaseline and white cotton socks does wonders

Use those in the shower toward the end so your feet have time to soak up some moisture. Right after a shower I slather a shit ton of Vaseline all over my feet and put on cotton socks for a few hours. Helps me a ton.

A pumice stone with a dollop of this on it EVERY shower.

it's amazing. It's like a really thick cream with scrubbies in it.
To get rid of the dead skin before "maintenance" - try a beauty supply store for a callous removal cream. You basically apply it with gloves, put baggies over your feet for like 5-10 minutes and then you scrub the piss out of them with a pumice stone. You can do this every day for a few days to get to a maintenance type stage - then use the body shop stuff with a pumice to maintain.

Shave that shit! I use this after gettting out of the shower and drying my feet for a little bit. It is oddly addicting.

I agree with this. I use the Avon foot works cracked heel relief. If I haven't been keeping up with it and my heels are really bad, I use that and in 2 or 3 days they are pretty much perfect. I apply it at night before I go to bed and notice a huge difference the next morning.

I don't sell Avon, but I really like this product from them!

Vaseline & socks to bed for three nights or so, then pumice the leftovers.

Oh! See, this is what I was wondering about. Something like this.

I like the idea of a scrub, but it is beyond that. It's gnarly.

[Deleted]

I do a scrub or soak them in bath salts first, then use a pumice stone and follow with a foot butter (heavier than cream) and put my feet in cotton socks while it soaks in.

Thirty dollars? I just farted.

I found some Alba Botanica Un-Petroleum jelly online. I do love Butter of London's nailpolishes. So nice.

[leeann]

I do the pumice daily. I bought one of those shaver things, but I can't figure out how to use it. Maybe I'm a moron or the razor blade in it scares me too much, IDK.

Pumice stone and coconut oil. Cheap and effective. I put on the coconut oil at night and wear it with socks around the house. I take the socks off to sleep (too hot) and I have nice soft feet in the a.m..

I ask for callous removal when I get a pedi. It's worth the embarrassment!

I like this idea. I love cheap.

I derped out on the whole socks/moisture thing, then pumice the next day. Makes sense.

[RBL]

So the vaseline, do you use just a little or do you really have to be generous with it?

I am assuming you sleep with it. Do you wash your feet in the morning to remove the excess?

[fuckstick]

Sometimes I do, but usually I take a shower after getting home from work so I just do it then and keep the socks on til bedtime. By that time its pretty much all soaked into my skin. If not, just wipe it off.

I used to have the too hot to sleep with socks on problem so I cut the socks in the middle so there is just enough to cover your heel and half of your foot. It looks silly but keeps my feet cool when I wear them at night over my foot cream.

*sigh* i know. someone said that on F&B, wait S&B? whatever.

anyway, i thought the same too scotty. but it's worth it.

i wear flerps & sandals all the time. i've tried practically everything- ped egg, different lotions, creams, socks on at night w/ stuff on, the gripe tape on the mr's skateboard (shut up i was disparate!), and so on.

found this stuff & i have pretty heels again.

[iamali]

Do you have a Sally's Beauty near by?

They sell a product called Blue Cross cuticule remover. You can soak your feet in it for a few minutes and then use a pumice stone. That should get a lot of it off.

A key to having non yucky heels is to mositurize. Do you put lotion on your feet each day when you put body lotion on?

I find this helps a ton. GL!

[hisno1girl]

I swear by these things:

www.sallybeauty.com/Mr.-Pumice-Pumi-Bar/SBS-648100,default,pd.html?cm_vc=SEARCH


They aren't real/natural pumice stones but the work sooooo much better!

I use it every day in the shower. You can use light pressure for daily maintenance or you can really bear down on it for serious work.

When I get in the shower, I throw it in on the floor so it gets wet and it's ready to use in a few minutes.

I also use these sanding blocks (the coarse ones)

www.sallybeauty.com/Softie-Yellow-Sanding-Block/SBS-203050,default,pd.html?cm_vc=SEARCH


on my heels (dry) to smooth them out.

[hisno1girl]

Don't use cotton socks after slathering lotion/cream on your feet!!!!!

The socks actually soak up the lotion and your lose the benefits.

Slather your feet in whatever you want to use (I use Eucerin) and wrap your feet in saran wrap FIRST like this, but covering the heel



and the put on some socks. Makes a huge difference!
