Extremely hard skin

[fluffydreams]

Hi guys,

I have a client that has very hard skin on the pads of her feet and heels. Pumice, rasps, dremmel, scrubs and callous remover doesn't help, and her hard skin just stays the same. I'm not trained with a pedi knife and I realise this is a chiropodist job to use a knife . I'm just wondering if there is anything other than a pedi knife that would help?

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance xx

Well, if it's really that bad she should really go see a specialist. But if you want you could try the microplane-to me it's the best at removing hard skin (after the credo blade in which I was trained years ago and that's now banned in most places).

Have you tried using callus peel? She could have treatment once every 4 weeks and use a cream at home that helps too melt hard skin xxxx

Where can I buy a micro plane?

I would recommend the following:
- Mavex Callus Peeling treatment - for amazing results
- Encourage her to book for follow-up appt
- Advise your client to buff her feet gently once a week - not more, with a pumice or good quality foot file
- Retail her or advise her where to get an excellent foot cream with 25% urea content (any less will not be effective in her case).

The thing about hard skin is that there are no miracles to be had, but if you provide a regular treatment (eg Callus Peeling) and she is dedicated to maintain her feet in between appointments with you, it will go a long way to keeping it under control. I highly recommend the Microplane too (available from Sweet Squared) and their Marine Spa pedi range.

Hope that helps!
