I noticed when I turned 18/19 that I was getting really crusty feet because I was getting older, it made me really insecure and I tried just putting lotion on after the shower but that didn’t help. I tried using one of those regular hard sponges, that didn’t help. I ended up getting this pedicure paddle and it has a hard cheese grater metal side that will tear off all of the dead skin without any pain at all, and I LOVE IT. Now that I’m pregnant, my skin on my feet are even worse. I use it after the shower. Here’s the before and after! After a few more uses, my feet are actually smooth on the bottom now. Such a great purchase!
