You Know Your Feet Are Bad When
July 7th, 2008
ou know your feet are bad when…
- the young woman giving you your Red Door pedicure looks like she needs to be resuscitated after she finishes working on your crusty feet
- the woman in the next chair whose pedicure started at the same time was long gone before you even got to the polishing stage
- it is strongly suggested by the technicians that you purchase this anti crusty foot product:
AND this anti-crusty foot product:
Ah well. I hope my tip made up for the foot crustiness.
I’m off to Carol’s Daughter to buy some more Shea and Sage foot butter.
Using proper shoes is important for feet too. Last time I got my feet like your picture was when my shoes was too small.
I just lost my last post! My derm always recommends (despite its low tech approach)
kerasol. I shower or bathe, slather it on (it is an ointment), put on a pair of lightweight socks for an hour, and then go barefoot after that (no greasy residue). It helps to soften the hard callouses, as well as shed them. A two in one product that really works. A couple of uses, and my feet are normal again, and I can go back to using whatever creams I feel like. It is a miraclous cure to “Arizona heel” that we ALL get out here - what with the high temps, low humidity, pool use, barefeet on hot surfaces, and sandals. Hope it might help you too.
(Walgreens, Target, and Walmart all sell it around here.)
I use the “Ped Egg” I LOVE IT! It is this llittle ‘as seen on tv’ thingy that is shaped like an egg but the texture reminds you of a microplane (like in the kitchen grater type thingy) but it catches all the dead skin. I use kerasal too on my feet and do the sock ritual at night. It works like a charm. I LOVE to go barefoot, so my little ritual cures all that ails my tootsies. You can get the egg at Bed Bath and Beyond or on the website pedegg.com (I think you get 2 for 10 if you call in)
WAIT! Did you go to the spa without me? *karatechop*
I love my pedicures! I have really bad heels, so I want to get one of those Pedi egg things!
