How to get really soft feet.

Nobody likes hard, cracked skin on their feet. Its quite easy to repair with a little determination and a good soak in the tub.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• corn shaver (available in any drug store)
• pumice stone
• foot cream
• cotton socks

1. Run a bath. Sit back and relax.

2. After your soak, take the corn shaver (I don't know if that is what it is called but you get the idea)and shave off the hard skin from the heels and balls of your feet.

3. Use the pumice stone and scrub the bottom of your feet. Make sure to pay close attention to where you shaved to smooth the edges. You can also do the top and sides, just don't use as much pressure.

4. After you get out of the tub, rub the foot cream into your feet. You don't have to spend on lot on the cream. Petroleum jelly works just as good, but it doesn't smell as nice!

5. Put on your socks and wear them as long as you can stand it. Personally they drive me crazy so I don't make it very long but any amount you can stand helps.

6. I only use the shaver about once a week but I do the pumice stone every time I am in the bath or shower.

Tips & Warnings

• They also sell a type of foot scrubber that has a smooth side and a side that looks like a scraper. These work good. They can also be used a kids feet that are extremely dirty from barefoot play. Just be careful of how much pressure you use, but I am sure they will let you know if it hurts. The biggest problem I have with doing this to the kids is that it tickles.
