In more recent years I think we can all agree that there's been a lot of new pedicure products available for us on the market. I personally think it's great as pedicures in salons aren't that cheap and also, it's hard to find the time to go and sit for an hour or so whilst someone works their magic on our feet. So for me personally, it's great to have at home products that we can use in our spare time. And for me, the easier the better. I've tried out the PedEgg before and I do love it - I even recommended it to my dad a few days ago. But a new product that's graced the scene recently is the Emjoi MICROPedi* and I've been using it for a while now.
First of all, the MICROPedi comes with the battery-operated device (2AA batteries aren't included), a coarse (pink) and extra coarse (blue) interchangeable micro-mineral rollers, an instruction booklet and cleaning brush. The micro-mineral rollers do of course lose their strength and coarseness over time but you can repurchase them for just £10.45 which I don't think is a bad price. Since I received this MICROPedi two months ago I've used it at least 3 times a week and so far, the rollers haven't worn down. I have tried out the pink roller and I find that it works better than the blue roller on sensitive areas such as the toes as it doesn't tickle them as much. It's easy to change from roller to roller and takes a few seconds.
What I love the most about this is how easy it is to use. The handle is a great size and I love how the head has been designed on an angle which makes it very simple to reach the heel of your foot. I must admit that at first I found using this a bit strange. The way that you use it is sort of in a shaving motion and it was very weird but after a couple of times I got used to it and I actually enjoyed it. The unique roller spins 360ยบ at 30 times a second and this gently, effortlessly and effectively buffs away the dead, hard and jagged skin on your feet. The device itself is 100% pain free and like I mentioned earlier, all you do is turn the device on and roll the roller over your feet in a shaving motion - it's that simple. I find that I can do this whilst tweeting on the laptop too because you only need one hand to do it. The one thing that lets this product down is that you do have to use a bin underneath your feet as unlike the PedEgg, there's nothing to collect the dead skin that's being shaved off you feet. But it's not that much of a problem.
The difference has been incredible and I myself, was shocked. I've obviously used the device before and I'd fallen in love with it but my feet were never that bad to begin with so whilst I noticed a difference, I didn't think the difference would be this big. My skin don't only look soft they feel it too.
Have you tried this device before? Will you be doing?
This is available for £34.95 (currently on offer) here and also from larger Boots stores.
