I find that it's hard to find the right type of product when it comes to caring for your feet and hands, especially for dry skin issues. I decided to start doing my own pedi's to save money and time which I feel is wasted at the salons, not to mention the potential for bacteria and infections from many of these salons. I put together my own foot and hand supplies to enable my taking care of myself at home. I purchased the foot smoother as part of my kit, and it proved useless. It doesn't have flexibility and doesn't bend. After it's use, it appeared to be dull and I felt I had to throw it away. I have serious dry skin issues on my feet and I need a product that is capable of actually helping, but this product simply didn't work out for me. I had more success at simply soaking my feet for several minutes and using a pomice stone. The product just didn't work out for me.
