Alis girls Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Amazingly enough I purchaed one yesterday as with warm weather will soon be out of tights and boots and into flip flops etc. I was impressed. OH asked if he could have a go and when I said yes are your feet bad - he announced he wanted to do mine!! I dont think he has a foot fetish, I am now worried as I dont like my feet being touched. i have hidden it from teenage son as hes a devil for borrowing things, he used all my hair de frizzer and will be grating his feet if I leave it out So its not just teenage girls who borrow things!!

Avalon Fantasy Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Oh I`ve had a chuckle at these replies and like many of you have groaned at the *show* bit..blah... However, to dissuade those that are considering the money heres a few tips for hard skin. Not unsurprisingly walking on sand at the beachand when sitting down with feet in the sand moving them back and forth is great for literally "sanding the rough skin away... Ok you may not be at the beach or have access to the sand but its one option. second is to use a pumice stone every day and then rub cream into your skin..if you do this for about a week or so depending how bad it it you will have perfect feet come flip flop or sandal weather! Most people have a pumice stone somwhere, and if not they are exceedingly cheap. Cream, well you can use any, or if you have foot cream then use that. As for parmesan cheese.. my comment is this.. the rubbish they sell here the grated sick smelling dry awful stuff that very well could be the gratings from the Ped Egg should be banned... I have a friend in italy, umberto panini his home is in modena that has an organic parmesan farm called hombre, he sells world wide and there is not that vile and nasty odour that you get in these prepacked tubs. Fresh parmesan is wonderful and has very little smell...oh and for those that like them he has some wonderful classic masseratis there too..L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 second is to use a pumice stone every day and then rub cream into your skin..if you do this for about a week or so depending how bad it it you will have perfect feet come flip flop or sandal weather! I just do that every time I shower and pop on a pair of cotton socks for a few minutes while it soaks in.....and use a footspa, the pumice stone and lovely smelling cream every few weeks as a treat! I like to have nice feet all year round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Me too Lesley. I have slim feet (well, in comparison to the rest of me anyhow), & have never had dry hard or yellow skin on them. I always have painted toes & use a moisturiser of some sot on them every night - the Burts Bees Beeswax & almond hand cream at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 They're around £4 on ebay. However, if you don't like the parmesan, you can use a wee cream (see the udderly smooth post). Urea softens hard skin into soft skin. There's a product called Flexitol which is good. Cheese, wee - there are some odd beauty treatments on this here forum!

Minnie the Moocher Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yes, someone will be along soon telling us that you can rub in bird droppings for eternally youthful skin. Oh, my mistake, Victoria Beckham got there first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I quite fancied a ped egg, as I've had heel cracks before now which have taken MONTHS to heal and meant I've had real trouble walking. But I'm too lazy to actually order one. sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon Fantasy Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Ahh Haaaa.. no she didnt.. Mz beckham was following the ancient Geisha Maiko art of using Nightingale droppings..and very good they are too..if not a tad smelly...they are called...着付け which translates to uguisu no fun Chuckles and goes back to cooking....

theherd123 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I cant abide the Ped Egg advert! The shavings remind me of a vegan cheese called Sheeze - gross and i bet the foot shavings taste better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassett Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I looked in Boots and SuperDrug today for a Ped Egg, but they didn't have them. Where did you get yours from? I'm keen to sort out my heels in time for the summer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I see Wilkinsons have them for £10. But they are much cheaper on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 When I say hard feet I mean the the soles are kind of leathered up not hard or crusty or anything grim. I just like having bare feet too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
