I discovered the pure awesomeness that is pumice stone:

[Zeze]

My feet have lots of dead skin like this, although not as severe:

Now whenever I try to clean my feet in the shower, it's annoying because of the seemingly endless dead skin coming off. They roll off like eraser droppings. I tried scrubbing it off with a scrub towel, but it's just not good enough.

It's not so much about being clean. It's the OCD nerd in me that wants to get rid of them all. I told my fiance about it, then she laughed and gave me this thing called... pumice stone:

It's basically a highly porous stone that perfectly traps and RAPES dead skin. So I took this strange device of the women and gave it a go.

HOLY CRAP. In mere 3 strokes, my feet were buffed down to raw red new skin. The whole feet were squeaky without a single grain of that eraser stuff.

Feels so good...

amazed you had never heard of one before

Sadly I've seen it lying around all the time growing up. I just thought it didn't do anything special that a regular abrasive scrub couldn't do.

I was terribly wrong.

lol yeah they are great. my feet are the same way and the nurse at my doctors office told me about these. i got a nice one with a long handle.

A couple of years ago I had pain walking and a foot doctor gave me a pumice stone and to use it on my calluses.
It works great.

This thread is a weird one.

Get a natural stone for a real treat. They're aesthetically pleasing, and the work a bit quicker, though you also have to be more careful so you don't go too deep.

Get yourself some Vitamin E cream and that will fix your feet right up. My feet used to be worse than the OP pic.

 

[bigrash]

I need to get one of those.

You're doing it wrong.

I don't think the dr fish is as effective. Very ticklish too!

You're doing it wrong.

That has to be gimmicky. No way that can compare to the whole surface swipe of a pumice stone that doesn't miss one spot.

They have a metal cheese shredder like thing that is even more aggressive at skin removal.

That's actually been banned from most areas because of infections.

I'm sorry but for pure results very little comes close to a belt sander.

I use a dremel and a grinding attachment.

We did this when we were in Budapest. Felt very weird, but kind of cool too.

I'm actually kind of girly when it comes to my hands and feet. I give myself a mani-pedi once a week.

I wonder if cats could be utilized. Dip your feet in tuna water, and let the cats lick it off :^D
