    my ped egg is my friend and saviour in the summer - only use your ped egg before you shower/bathe as it can be too harsh on softened skin. I also use an overnight foot cream whenever I remember to, and massage some cream in to my feet when I'm on the sofa watching telly (ped egging gets done then too ;))

    Down the market - about £2 each :rotfl:- seriously, thats where most of the women in my office got ours last year. One had bought the full price one in Boots, we compared them, and its obviously an easy product to copy - as we couldn't see any difference in them at all. Mine is a market jobby, and is still going strong, 2 summers in.

    My chiropodist recommended CCS Heel Balm, you can buy it from Boots, it's in a white tube with a turquoise band around it. It's excellent and highly recommended.

    Another vote for Flexitol for me, it's a must-have 'beauty' item for me now. I use a cheap foot file from Bodycare (less than £1) once a week or so and then use Flexitol twice daily - brilliant! I've tried the Ped Egg and the results weren't anywhere near as good as with my cheapo foot file.

    I use a foot file before getting in the bath, then an exfoliating scrub. Dry feet after bath, slather on any thick cream (cheap cocoa butter usually) and wear socks to bed = smooth feet!

    Another thing I found quite handy was the Scholl foot scrub. Normally feet scrubs don't have much of an impact on my hard skin, but this one smooths it right down. I use it just before applying olive oil.....yes, I am obsessed.....
    Never argue with an idiot; they'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    I agree with Ms Chocoholic about the CCS Heel Balm. I had terribly bad dry feet up until 2 months ago and my chiropodist got me started on it. You need to try and use it twice a day and he also recommended soaking my feet in salt water twice weekly too and the results have been incredible.

    Thanks for this thread, I really want to pretty up my feet if possible, as I hate them. Going to try the olive oil, as the Ped egg thing makes me feel a little queasy ;S
  • WOW brilliant advice as ever!

    thanks guys. I've bought a market ped egg today and will be doing my feets tonight :-) thanks! xxx
