After you’ve filed your feet, then what?

Cold Cream 'n' Roses

I apply butter LONDON‘s Rock Away callus remover and wrap my feet in Saran wrap, as the technician in Seattle did. Potassium hydroxide is listed as the second ingredient after water, so this is a caustic solution.

At bedtime, I then apply butter LONDON’s Stiletto Stick to my feet and put on socks. Other options are thick creams enriched with urea such as Eucerin Plus.

Repeated treatment leaves feet smooth and uncallused.

You may find butter LONDON at Beauty.com and Eucerin Plus at beauty.com’s sister site drugstore.com, major drugstore and supermarket chains, and “big box” stores such as Target and Wal-Mart.

Revlon® Pedi-EXPERT™ Pedicure Kit

Cold Cream 'n' Roses3 Comments

Ped Egg has received good press, despite the cheesiness of its “As Seen on TV” ads. To my knowledge, the first product of its kind was the Microplane Foot File. Now I’ve found a foot file that I like even better than Microplane: it’s the Revlon® Pedi-EXPERT™ Pedicure Kit:

Why do I like the Revlon® Pedi-EXPERT™ Pedicure Kit? There’s a lifetime guarantee, unlike the Ped Egg, which sells replacement graters. What are the advantages of Revlon® Pedi-EXPERT™ over Microplane? I particularly like the ergonomic shape that you can cradle in your hand (like a good computer mouse); also, there’s a finishing file built in to smooth your feet after shaving them with the grater. For the budget-conscious, Revlon® Pedi-EXPERT™ Pedicure Kit costs half of what Microplane costs.
