I wish I could say I look after my feet as much as I do the rest of my body, but I'd be telling a lie! The poor things get neglected when it comes to exfoliating and moisturising. I always paints my toe nails so they look pretty and to be honest I think I've been blessed with nice feet (I can stand to look at my own feet put it that way, I'm not really a huge feet fan!), but I've tried to use pumice stones, foot files and things like that in the past and just not really got on with them which means I have hesitated to use them in a routine. I moisturise them occasionally but not as much as I should. Tut, tut!

So I want to introduce you to a little product that has become part of my pampering routine and ensures that I look after my feet, giving them a pedicure with minimum effort but maximum results!
Here is a little intro to the product as described on the JML website:
The Pedi Pro Deluxe is an electronic pedicure treatment that fits snugly in the palm of your hand. The professional system has a high-speed rotating head, with hundreds of ultra fine micro-crystals. The head quickly, but gently, removes dead and hard calloused skin, while exfoliating and rejuvenating your feet.
You won't think twice about pampering your feet if you have this. Before I had this I didn't really think about my feet because like I said I didn't get on with normal pumice stones, foot files etc. I just didn't like them and found it took ages to get any results. I have even used the manual Ped Egg in the past (which was a best seller) but didn't really get on with that either. I think the difference with this one is that it is electronic so basically does the work for you. This could be seen as lazy, but I am sure the majority of you know how much time and effort it can take to use conventional methods to pamper your feet. This takes a few minutes and you can see, aswell as feel the results of soft, smooth skin. Your feet feel wonderful afterwards!
The Pedi Pro Deluxe comes with 1 stainless steel blade to get rid of really hard, dead skin, 1 buffing disc and 6 extra buffing pads to exfoliate the skin and make it baby soft. It also comes with a shaving tray so any hard skin or dust from exfoliating is collected and doesn't go everywhere, so you won't have anything to clean up...bonus! A cleaning brush is also provided, along with a carry pouch for storage. An instruction leaflet is also included so you don't have to worry about how to put it together, how to use it for the first time, change the pads etc.
There are two speed settings. I personally prefer to use the higher setting, just because I have adjusted to using the Pedi Pro Deluxe and find it works better for me rather than the lower setting. I would recommend using the lower speed setting to start with just so you can get a feel for how much pressure you need to use. Like I said before, it requires minimum effort, so you may think you have to grip/hold it really hard and press down hard on your foot. However, you don't have to do this at all. It is hard to explain unless you have used it, but if any of you have one you will know what I mean or if you are going to get one, you will understand what I mean when you start using it. You can hold the Pedi Pro Deluxe lightly and just glide it over your foot and it does an amazing job! That's why I like it so much and it is something I use often to keep on top of looking after my feet, so they stay smooth and soft! When I first used the product, I over estimated how much pressure was required and I pressed it too hard onto my foot and it kind of gave off a sting/burn feeling, so I knew I was pressing too hard. It didn't leave any marks or anything, but I knew I was using the product with too much force.
So, if like me you aren't a fan of conventional pedicure products, I would definitely recommend this! You can buy it from the JML website, Boots or Superdrug (you might be familiar with the little JML stands they have in their stores) and it is just £19.99. The product requires 4 AA batteries and you also have an extra 6 buffing pads. If you run out of those you can buy replacement pads from the JML website; 10 for £2.99, which is really affordable and you can rest assured they are always there to purchase so you can keep using your Pedi Pro Deluxe :-).
Do any of you already have this product?
Much Love,
