Use A Hand Sander On Your Feet

I just use an emery board. The rough side works best.

Along with the largest and roughest emery board (or nailfile) that I can find, I have also used the paint sanding blocks. These are great as they are usually coarse sandpaper glued over a foam block, and can be rinsed clean and reused when you are finished scrubbing your feet. I keep these in the shower, and scrub while showering. Works a treat!

I have tried this or I should say that I was lucky enough to have DH do it for me. Feet felt great

I recently used fine sandpaper on the bottom of my feet,
the best pedicure I ever had.
It was inexpensive and effectful.
My feet feels like a baby's bottom.

I use a handheld orbital sander that is used for like woodworking. I use coarse then finer sandpaper and it takes off in minutes what takes all day by hand. Just have to be careful not to apply too much pressure and keep it moving around. I am a man and my feet are smoother than any girls that I have ever felt.

I just used a black & decker Fs500 120v sander for my heals. I get a lot of hard skin on my heals and decided to use my electronic sander. I did both feet in under 5 mins and also got a free foot massage at the same time, it make your feet tingle, never done this before but now i have and my heals are smooth.

Great idea. I sent hubby to get a sander and he came back with a disposable sanding block. It's like a hand-sized eraser shape made of a foam material, but with sandpaper texture on all surfaces. It worked great. Thanks for the inspiration!

This is a great tip but, the dryness continues or sometimes gets worse. What I did after first sanding the rough skin off my feet is rub vaseline (best) or any other moisturizer of choice and put on some socks and wear it all night long and you will find that your feet are so soft and moisturized like a new babes skin.

I love this tip. Women after menopause usually get the extreme dry hard skin on the feet as we stop producing as much body oil. I have been trying everything and this sound like the best idea. BTW, NEUTROGENIA is THE BEST product for feet. I have no interest in the company other than a very satisfied customer. Karen

Wow! Who would have thought this would be a good idea?

I tried a few months ago. Saves you hundreds in pedicure fees. Surprised
more people haven't caught on yet!

I tried the hand sander a few months ago. The best thing I've done so far. Saves a bundle on pedicures!

I stopped getting pedicures because I figured I can do better for less.
After pumice stones and emery boards didn't have any effect, I tried electric devices like Emjoi and As Seen On TV callus removers. While these are good, they aren't great and they're awful time-consuming.

Just picked up a sander as my wife's pedispin just didn't do it. Think she will like this and I'll be doing it for her.

What sand paper for callus on feet

I have used a "Mouse" Black and Decker hand sander for as least 10 years; it produces great results and is small enough to manage. It has a velcro-type sanding attachment, just choose the grit best for you.

I actually go to a lady who does this...its amazing she is the only one I've seen do this

So I went out today and bought a detail sander at Home Depot. I had this idea when my boyfriend used it on me about 2 years ago. I have done pedicures...they burnt the bottom of my feet with chemical...that was nice. Then I spent $60 a visit to my podiatrist who used a razor and cut the callus away. That hurt. So I'm done. Its a triangle shaped detail sander. I used the fine grid first. Not strong enough, Yes I have UGANDA feet. So I went to the Medium and Voila!!! My feet look great. $30 Home Depot, foot cream!

I used a good quality sand paper grit 120, and cut them in small strips and folded them I can't believe smooth how effective it as and now I got super smooth feet, there were so smooth I went around asking people to feel my feet , I keep rubbing my feet together just to feel the softness, i now got a foot fetish for my own feet

I use my husband's air compressor with an air sander. Haven't been able to find the right grit though.

I use a restaurant grill brick......works great

I use a small hand sander as well, and it does the job effortlessly and my feet look awesome!

Ive seen podiatry offices use grinding devices on old peoples heavily fungus and calloused feet. Ive used lots of tools and nothing ever really helps it. Decided to get my small mouse sander cost me $20, and I used 120 grit sand paper. Worked beautifully. Then I applied some Palmers cocoa butter formula with vitamin e lotion to my heals. They are soft! I applied light pressure and I checked the heals every 30 sec or so just to make sure I was sanding it raw. Since with cracked calloused heals you cant feel anything its easy to sand it down too much and not notice it. My husband said he now wants to do it lol..

I have been doing this for years and this is the only thing that works for me the only difference is that I use an electric sander
