Directions on tube: Apply to clean, dry skin. Massage over the foot in a circular motion, then rinse. For best results use two to three times a week.
My directions: When in bath, reach for tube on windowsill by performing circus like stunt that is reminiscent of elephant doing ballet. Shove one leg over other without hitting self on chin, to raise leg out of water, and squirt small amount directly onto offending hard skin of big toe. Having accidentally squirted half tube onto foot, use free hand to scoop up excess for use on other foot at a later date, putting it in a safe place, for example on the soaprack. Use thumb to scrub little pumicey bits into skin until thumb aches and are thoroughly fed up. Follow up by attacking foot with body shops foot loofah thing (like wooden spatula with nail file stuff on it) like demented person with only 11 weeks and counting left until wedding.
Smell Divine. Well, pleasantly un-foot-product like. This has a gentle fruity fragrance (it contains fruit AHAs) and thankfully doesn’t smell of a foot cream (which in my experience is always foul.)
Ingredients: Water, pumice, paraffin and a lot of other chemically things which probably help to stop it smelling of foot cream. Paraffin?
Does it work? Well, after three weeks of using it every night I do have almost soft smooth big toes, and I will no longer have to encase my feet in socks all summer. I might even invest in some sandals. I still have hardish patches, but I think that’s just caused by walking generally and probably never goes away completely. I am definitely satisfied with this product, and will be buying it again.
Further Info: The catchily named website (honest, I'm not winding you up) www.schollhealthandbeautyforfeet.com is not yet up and running but does give you a glimpse of the shiny new packaging if you are interested.
Advantages: Smoothes feet, removes rough dry skin Disadvantages: A bit pricey and messy
...I spotted a stand with Scholl products. Two products in particular caught my attention - the "Rough Skin Remover" and the "Deep Moisturising Cream".
**The product***
Scholl's "Rough Skin Remover" comes in a gold, white and see-through stand-up bottle and contains 75ml of product. Through the see-through part you can see what the product looks like. It is an off-white, ice-cream colour containing little black grains which remind me of the bits of ... ...up with an application of Scholl "Deep Moisturising Cream".
***My experience***
When I first opened the tube, I instantly realised that this product did not have much of a smell to it. The scent is very light and fresh - reminding me of the smell of wet sand mixed with lemon, vanilla and floral undertones.
This is when I first faced a dilemma, as the tube does not explain exactly what is meant by "massaging the product over the foot". Does this ...

Advantages: Gets rid of all the rough hard flaky skin on the feet Disadvantages: None
...written one op on a Scholl product, and now here's another. Following a trip to my GP yesterday as I have a painful lump on my foot, I was embarrassed to learn that I have a bunion! A verruca I could handle, but a bunion! Surely it's the elderly that tend to suffer most with these?....and no, I'm not that old! My GP took a long close look at my foot - I'm just glad I didn't wear trainers otherwise he may have been knocked out - and told me that along ... ...nicely to tell you about Scholl Rough Skin Remover for the feet. I bought this a while ago as part of my 'treat for the feet' campaign, but unfortunately I have only used it a couple of times, due to laziness really. Now that I have officially been told that my feet have rough skin plus bunion, I will be using it regularly....honest!
The smell of Scholl's Rough Skin Remover is delicious and if it wasn't for the fact that it contains lots of granule-ey ...

...Scholl’s Rough Skin Remover. Scholl are a well-known footcare specialist dealing with all manner of foot products to make them ultra-soft and more comfortable for the wearer. Being a name I have already come to know and trust, I realised that the decision had already been made for me.
The 75ml tube is quite attractive to look at. There is a slash of gold across the top half of the tube with “Rough Skin Remover” written in bold white lettering. Just ... ...with other foot products by Scholl to get better results. I have found that just using a cheap moisturising lotion afterwards does the job just as well. I have found with this product that a little goes a long way. You simply squeeze a small amount onto your hand, apply it to the soles of your feet and rub away. It is quite a pleasant feeling, no pain is felt, just a scratchy sensation as the grains of pumice slough away the dead skin. I found myself ...

Advantages: It really works. Disadvantages: The pumice tickles.
...constantly on your feet. Scholl have developed the perfect answer to this problem and the best thing about it is that it actually works.
I am constantly on my feet all day and I also suffer from rough skin and it can be painful at times. I spotted scholls rough skin remover at ASDA about a month ago and decided to try it out and I am very glad that I did.
Scholl have effectively designed this foot care 'treatment' by combining the power of both ... ...the pumice when finished.
Scholl recommend that you use this 2/3 times a week.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO USE ?
The cream is very refreshing and soft where as the pumice is rough (but not in a discomforting way) and tickles slightly when you are massaging it over the feet. My feet after I finish rinsing them felt a little tingly from the pumice rubbing them but soft with no rough skin.
IS IT VALUE FOR MONEY ?
I think it is defiantly good value for money. ...

Advantages: summery feet Disadvantages: messy piles of skin
Ooh this is good. It's strangely therapeutic to be able to leave a little pile of your skin on the floor.
Ok, maybe that's a bit weird, but this really is a good product, and with summer just around the corner we should all be rushing out to Boots to invest in some. About £3 and a tube lasts a while (But dries out quick if you don't click the lid back on properly...)
Basically it's a tube of fruit acids and little bits of pumice, but it works better ... ...to my tendency to walk around barefoot as often as possible, I have rhino pads on the soles of my feet, so I'm a pretty good test for it.
I've found it works best on dry feet. I start by smothering a big blob across the bottom of my feet, and then set about rubbing it in as hard as possible in little circles with my thumbs. Once it's starting to be absorbed your tough nasty skin starts sloughing off in pleasing quantities (Oh yes, spread some newspaper ...

Advantages: Moisturises, makes feet feel good, easy to apply Disadvantages: None
There are many reasons why my foot care is important to me. First of all, I do not want my massage therapist to have to touch disgusting feet when I go see her once a month. But more importantly, I simply do not like my feet feeling rough or dry, which they often do because I swim and walk a lot. On a recent trip to Boots, on my way to the check-out counter, I spotted a stand with Scholl products. Two products in particular caught my attention - the "RoughSkinRemover" and the "Deep Moisturising Cream".
Scholl's "Deep Moisturising Cream" now comes in a white and gold stand-up tube and contains 75 ml of white moisturising cream instead of the packaging displayed by Ciao with this category. The tube promises that the cram will provide 24-hour continuous hydration.
Scholl claims that this cream is "one of the most advanced foot care ...
