I am SO ready for Spring, I just hate cold weather! Although I keep my toes done year-round, I definitely give them a good bit more attention in the spring, and through the summer months. This year, I am definitely going to use the L’Occitane Shea Butter I talked about yesterday on my feet, but before you waste good product softening skin that shouldn’t be there in the first place, I want to show you the best dry skin/callus remover first. This is the Swedish Clover Föt File, made by Flowery:
There are many companies that make tools like this, but none of them (yes, none!) compare to this one. You have to trust me on this. This file retails for about $9.00 US, and is more expensive than its competitors, but will outperform and outlast them all – run file circles around them, in fact. The file is very sturdy (a big problem with its competitors) and the abrasive area is strong and rough and lasts forever (you guessed it, another big problem). I usually buy a new one each year, but only because I absolutely love the way a brand spanking new one works. This could honestly last you for several years, though. You can usually find this file at Sally’s Beauty, and occasionally in a local salon (but with a much higher price, if I had to guess). You can also find these at Amazon, which is the best bet to getting one if there isn’t a Sally’s convenient to you.
[...] InStyle has sucked me in on the Diamancel Foot File which has made their best beauty buys list. At a whopping $36, it is 3 times the price of my favorite foot file, but it looks very well worth it, especially if it really lasts forever, which it really might, with the diamond dust. The potential weakness here is what attaches the diamond dust to the handle. [...]
