Sand Your Feet Smooth
by P.
In the winter I find that a lot of dry skin builds up on the heels of my feet. Pumice stones are lovely: they're simple and safe. But sometimes you want to get rid of a lot of flaky dead skin FAST. I use my handheld electric sander (this particular brand is called The Mouse, but there are others). Yes, really. A fine-to-medium grade sandpaper takes off all that rough flaky skin that catches on my socks and puts runs in my stockings. It's fun, it's fast, it's effective, and... yeah, it's a little dangerous. Go gradually and lightly. Check the results frequently, and when you get through the thick dead skin to the soft skin underneath, stop. Then put on a little moisturizer of your choice, and your feet will stay smooth & happy for weeks.
