Our take
Are you feeling self-conscious about your feet but don’t have the budget for professional care? You’re not alone! Many of us have been there, trying to achieve that salon-fresh look at home. Recently, you've been using glycolic acid and bag balm, but those stubborn calluses are still hanging around. You’re also questioning your pumice stone technique and nail clipping skills. Fear not! Let’s dive into some effective tips and tricks to transform your feet from rough to glamorous, because everyone deserves pretty feet!
okay so recently i've started to become super self conscious about my feet. unfortunately i do not have professional pedicure money, so i've been trying to do some foot maintenance at home. the past 4 or so days before bed i've put glycolic acid then bag balm and normal socks on and they've definitely started to peel slightly but my feet are still so rough and nasty looking. i was wondering if anyone has any advice for other options or knows how long it'll take the glycolic acid to actually get rid of the calluses? i definitely need to start using a pumice stone after i shower too but i feel like that barely does anything. i'm not even sure if i'm clipping the side of my toe nails the right way now & i cannot find a video showing the proper way for the life of me. my main problem is just that my feet are rough, honestly they're not too horrible looking (except for now since they're peeling slightly from the acid) but i want pretty feet!!! sos, any advice?

- My super smooth feet guide i wanted to share with you girlies! Lemme know if it helped>3Here’s my step by step foolproof guide on how to properly clean and polish your feet! As a disclaimer, its important you do not overdo with these steps so you don’t get cuts:) You’ll need Freeman Flirty Feet peeling spray (5 bucks on amazon), a nail file, tea tree oil (pure essential oil), a big foot file, and a super thick cream. I recommend either a urea foot stick or Nivea Creme. Optional is a clear polish for anyone who wants to add that pretty shine on their toenails, and a sugar scrub for the top of your feet to be smoother than a dolphin’s head Start by filling a container with hot water and a few drops of tea tree oil then start soaking your feet for 10-20 minutes. The longer the better, but it really depends on the condition of your feet. If you have super crusty feet, leave them soaking for at least 15 minutes. If they are just lightly crusty in a few places, you might even be able to skip the step all together, but I still advise you soak for at least 7 minutes. Then, take your foot file and begin scraping the crusty parts in a back and forth motion applying some pressure. If it hurts on the super crusted parts, than let it soak a little longer and scrape gently. Be sure to scrape your heel, beneath your big toe and all other places you have crusting. If you have a file with a buffing surface, use that on all the places you scraped with to ensure the dead skin is removed properly. Once you finish removing the majority of the callouses this way, dry your feet and spray the Freeman Flirty Feet peeling spray on all the places you used your callous remover. It will help lift all the remaining crustiness off your feet. Spray a good amount and begin rubbing your fingers over it as it creates dead skin clumps. This stuff smells funny, but that’s just cause its super potent. After this step if finished, wash your feet. Feel how smooth they’ve become:)? If you choose to use a sugar scrub at this point, slightly wet your feet and go ahead and scrub your whole feet with a good amount of scrub. When you’re finished, dry your feet again. Now use your nail file to shape, clean and scrape your toe nails and toenail folds. Make sure you get all the gunk out and shape it to your desired length/shape. Now for the tea tree oil. If you have stinky toes, toe fungus or athletes foot, apply a few undiluted drops of tea tree oil on your toes only. Not on your whole foot.This works extremely well and quickly for helping with these fungal or bacteria related problems on your toes. I know some people find this controversial, but for those who are actually wanting to get rid of your toe problems, this is the solution. Lastly, apply your thick cream to your feet very generously and put some fluffy socks on over it. When you go to sleep and wake up, your feet will be unbelievably soft and smooth like mine;)!! You can do this routine weekly to keep your feet pretty and smooth. Guys can do this too! Let me know it anyone tried this and how it turned out and I hope this helps! submitted by /u/Jimins_little_minx [link] [comments]
- How do I get pretty feet? Or at least normal looking ones?I hate my feet I never wear sandals or peep toe heels bc of how much I hate them. I hate the structure of them and the toes and also the nail shapes. Also I have very sensitive skin so even my incredibly soft slippers rub against the skin and has caused dark marks and calluses and stuff . How do I make them look better and feel more confident in them? Everyone says just pedicures n stuff. I want to wear heels so bad :/ submitted by /u/Cinnamonsan [link] [comments]
