This is a beauty tip for taking care of your feet while avoiding the expense. Getting dead skin off your feet is difficult but those aids you buy simply don't do the job.

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!
Ooh ok i have one of these in my kitchen drawer that I never used yet I'm going to try it today thank you so much.
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.
Home Depot has this hand cream for men Working Hands in the green round container it's for calluses. Its about 10 bucks. Walmart sells it but it doesn't have the same texture as the one at Home Depot.
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
