I were sanding them But I could not get the dirt out of the cracks, so that is why I switched to the nailbrush. That works better, but I still can't get all of it out. DH cracks up every evening, because I go and sit flat on my bottom in the shower and scrub my feet.
And I put cream on everynight (I am suppose to put it on in the morning also, but my feet are then slippery in my sandels and that irks me to the marrow.
Hmmm a pedi .... would have to call DH to treat me on that one
My darling sister bought me a pedicure for my birthday. It was so wonderful. She totally splurged on me and got me a parafin treatment too. Well worth the money for an hr me time...plus my feet still look great after 2 almost 3 weeks!!!
At the chemist I buy a piece of volcanic ash type stuff. It is in a block like a cake of soap and then packaged in a box and it is only a few dollars. You wet it and out soap on it and scrub away and it takes out my cracks and the dirt (sounds weird put like that....). The block wears away as you use ut and leaves little bits of ash on the shower floor that go down the drain...
May be worth a try?
Pumice?
Mine hurt (and bleed) too much to use that when they are cracked, but Nadine if you are able to use a nail brush on yours then Id give a pumice stone a try!
Melt paraffin wax and mix it well with little mustard oil. Apply on the dry or cracked area of the heels. Rinse it off in the morning. A continuous application for 10 to15 days can achieve desirable results.
Pumice ... I'll have to get me some of that. I know what it looks like and yes [B]rayray[B] I'll be able to use that, because mine is not open. I really feel for you. That must be so sore
Thanks for the tip robertw .. now if I can only get myself to sleep with my feet out from under the covers .... hmmmm
The past two days were really cold, so I wore socks and boots. My feet LOVE that. I took to the dirty heals with my footsander last night and I think that by next summer I would have sanded out the dirt as the new skin forms. Not a imediate improvement, but next summer's first strappy-sandles would look utterly fantastic.
Ps. Went to book a pedi ... they were fully booked for the next month perks of living in a small town, so I booked myself a spot at the hairsalon instead just because
