Recommend a home pedicure kit?

Hi everyone,

Was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a home pedicure kit that doesn't cost the earth? One that includes a hard skin remover etc. I love getting pedicures but can't justify the expense of going to the salon so i'd like to do it myself at home.

Thanks

  • I can't recommend a kit as such but all the Champneys products are gorgeous, and make you feel like you are in the spa when you are at home http://www.champneys.co.uk/Collection/Hands_and_Feet/Products

    And watch this life pass me by

    Buy a footfile from any chemists or if you can afford it a Ped Egg (£9.99). You can use any normal manicure kit for cutting nails etc. Any thick moisturiser will be okay. Home and Bargain have a Sally Hanson parrafin scrub for a pound at the moment that you could use after soaking. Soak feet in warm soapy water after you have filed the hard skin off. Then cut nails and rub in moisturiser. Paint nails and allow to dry. Once a week put moisturiser on before bed and wear socks all night.

    If you keep on top of them you should only have to do once every couple of weeks. Takes about half an hour and is very pampering.

    Just bought a great pedicure tool in either Netto or Aldi (went to both and can't remember which it was - sorry). It is double ended and has things on both sides so four tools in one. It has a pumice stone, a file, a grater type thing and a smoother. All for 89p.
