From pampering and heel support to invisible socks, here are some tips to ensure your feet are summer-ready so you can get your feet out with confidence this summer! 

Scholl Express Pedi **REVIEW**

**AD - Review**

As a busy mum I often forget about looking after myself or making time for some much needed self care, that includes well used parts of my body such as my feet! As most mums (and dad's I am sure) will know we spend a lot of time on our feet running after our little ones, tidying up, school runs etc yet we seem to neglect our feet and the care they deserve. 

Slipping off to the beautician or spa alone for a peaceful pedicure may be a thing of the past since having kids but Scholl have brought out the next best thing, the Scholl Express Pedi! This useful little device can be used quickly and easily at home so no need for making an appointment or needing a babysitter to get the perfect summer ready feet this year. 

The Scholl Express Pedi is a hand held electronic foot file which with the help of the diamond crystal roller head leaves feet feeling smoother and softer. The battery operated device spins the specially designed Micralumina roller with diamond crystals at high speed to gently buff and exfoliate away rough and hard skin. 

I have to be honest since the sun has disappeared and Autumn/Winter have been making there appearance my UGG boots have made an appearance and I have neglected my foot care routine all together. So when the Express Pedi arrived I was really excited to give it a go and hopefully have my feet looking some what presentable and soft in time for the sandal and flip flop season.  

The Scholl Express Pedi is easy to use, you simply ensure the roller head is firmly attached then twist the silver ring around the top to the left which will start the roller head. Plus it is painless too, ticklish maybe, especially if you have very ticklish feet, but it is completely pain free when used correctly. 

To use you simply glide the roller head over the dry/ hard skin area's on your feet to exfoliate away the dead and hard skin. Making sure you don't press to hard as this will make the device stop as a safety mechanism to ensure you don't hurt or burn your skin when pressing down. You will also need to make sure you don't hold the device in one area for more than 3 - 4 seconds as this could cause some discomfort.

When you are happy with the results and your feet are restored to a softness you are happy with just twist the silver ring to the right on the device which will switch it off. You then need to rinse of your feet to remove and excess skin that may still be on your feet, you should also treat your feet to a really good moisturiser after doing this to ensure they stay smooth and soft!

(The picture on the left shows my feet before using the Scholl Express Pedi, as you can see I had some hard rough skin around my big toes and below that. After just 5 minutes of using the Express Pedi its gone, as you can see on the right!) 

Over all I was really impressed with the Scholl Express Pedi, it was easy to use and really does work although it did take some persistence on the worst areas! The ergonomically shaped soft touch handle makes it easy to hold whilst in use and easy to manoeuvre around the foot. However being so easy and quick to use it does make it a great tool to have for regular use throughout the year and is a lot more cost effective than regular pedicures too! 

The Scholl Express Pedi is priced at £39.99 which I did initially think was a little steep but since trying it out I think it is most definitely a worth while investment as means you can keep on top of dry skin regularly at home. I can now be certain I have beach ready soft feet ALL year round!

Have you ever tried the Scholl Express Pedi?
