My Foot Care Savior: No More Blisters or Cracks!

I've got a personal connection to foot care - I've got flat feet and bunions on each foot. My poorly aligned arches do their job, even with orthotic insoles, but it puts uneven pressure on my feet, which is why I get cracks and dry skin on my heels all year round.

When I'm wearing open shoes, I visit a pedicurist every three weeks, and the last two times I got a smart pedicure, which I really liked. But despite all that, the cracks and dry skin come back pretty quickly.

In the closed shoe season, it's a bit better, but the dry skin and cracks on my heels are still my constant companions. I used to use a roller pumice stone, but it's become really weak, so I started thinking about replacing it. I looked at regular pumice stones, read reviews, and finally settled on this series of glass pumice stones available on Wildberries.

There are many sellers, but the product is the same, so I chose a variant that suited me in terms of price – my pumice stone cost me 204 rubles. The only downside was that it was shipped from St. Petersburg, and it took a bit longer to arrive than my other orders.

I chose this color, and the design of the pumice stone is very similar to the popular Tangle Teezer combs. The pumice stone feels comfortable in my hand, it's quite compact, and it does slide a bit, but it's not a major issue.

Surprisingly, the glossy surface doesn't get smudged, but when I'm using it, the dead skin cells from my feet stick to the surface really quickly, and it's not as pretty anymore...

The working surface of the pumice stone is made of tempered nano glass, according to the manufacturer. In reality, it's got tiny ridges that do the pilling.

I've found that using the pumice stone in circular motions is way more comfortable and effective than just gliding it horizontally. It's amazing how much dead skin comes off when you use it – I'm surprised I didn't notice how much I was carrying around before!

I've been using it dry, no soaking my feet beforehand, which I read somewhere is a no-go after exfoliating your heels.

Now, let's take a look at the before pics. Of course, the heels are the toughest part – I've got some deep cracks, and it's hard to tackle them with the pumice stone. The key is not to overdo it, or you'll end up with discomfort and pain when you walk.

It only took me less than a minute, and the results are already visible – the cracks are still there, but it looks a lot better overall.

This is just a before-and-after shot, but it's not even half of the amount of dead skin that comes off after using the pumice stone.

The second foot

I only managed to tackle the second foot in the second half of the day, unfortunately. I've got some deep cracks, and it's hard to tackle them with the pumice stone. The key is not to overdo it, or you'll end up with discomfort and pain when you walk.

Looking at it from the side, I'm not so sure it's a big improvement on the first one.

And, of course, I've got the dreaded ingrown toenails – one of the reasons being the uneven pressure on my foot.

There's not much difference here, to be honest – it's a bit tricky to work on this area, especially when it comes to doing things to myself.

A bit of a process, to be sure. I did find myself shaking the file off to get rid of the dead skin cells. After each use, I rinsed it out with water – it dries quickly.

And here are my toes, with one of them looking a bit worse for wear.

So, all in all, we got the results we were hoping for – the file lived up to its positive reviews online.

I'm not sure how long it'll last, but it's made of glass, so it's a bit delicate – try not to drop it.
