Dry and Cracked Heel Treatment - Callus Peel - £12
Ashamed to show off your feet. This treatment will have them looking good in no time.
Pressure applied to the feet over time causes the skin to crack and harden and calluses to appear. Although very common, cracked heels can be painful, unattractive and upsetting.
Unfortunately, as the condition worsens, it becomes more difficult to treat, since regular moisutirsers will not penetrate the dry, dead, thick skin on the heels.
Help is at hand at last - Using the same principal as a facial peel, the 'Callus Peel' uses AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) to leave your feet soft, clean and beautiful in just 30 minutes.
Safe, hygenic and painless, you will notice the amazing difference immediately.
