This worked even on the grossest heels ever: mine

As I've mentioned before I've inherited the driest of dry skin from my mother. And with that comes extremely high-maintenance heels. I swear, if I skip scrubbing them for just a couple showers, they turn into dirty callused monstrosities. And sometimes they even crack and bleed! SO Not Pretty. I get so embarrassed about it, that I scrub before I get a pedicure (where they will be scrubbed yet again). I can't have a stranger see my feet in such a gross condition! And even still, this one time the pedicurist's eyes got really wide when she saw my feet and went "um...this will be extra."

So yeah, I'm a perfect candidate for anything to do with riding my heels of dry, cracky calluses. When I came across VB Cosmetics' Be Silky Callus Spray with Tea Tree Oil I had to immediately try it. Instructions are simple: after soaking your feet, spray this oil on, wait a few minutes, and them scrub your heels. Repeat if necessary.

Well I had to repeat this process about three times, but yes, it worked!! After the first dosage, my little file was getting all sorts of nasty skin off my heels. I had to pull out my collection of food scrubbers - I collect a lot - and I found that this doesn't work so well with the file part of the Ped Egg Pedicure Foot File (though maybe my file isn't sharp anymore?) but it worked magically with the buffer part of it. I just had to keep dosing my heels in the oil again and again.

It was a tough, labor-intensive and very annoying process even with this oil: curse those callused heels! But they're in way less embarrassing shape than they were before. I read that pros use this Callus Spray and I can see why! A word of warning though: this is some heavy-duty stuff. Directions say to wear gloves (eek!) during the process or at least make sure you immediately wash any skin that's touch this oil with soap and water. I need to be extra careful when using it and keep my cats and dog out of the bathroom while I get my scrub on. But I'm so happy to have this and can bust out sandals with less hesitation now.
