HI... It has been my experience that your first pedi client, with the "extremely dry skin"... could have a fungus.... tell her to a). go to the podiatrist and b). use some over the counter athlete's foot spray, creme or powder until she gets to the Dr. .. that might help a little. Client #2 ... that excess dust could be a result of using a callous remover. I know when I use one... I have Allpresan or another (name escapes me sorry) and when I let it dry before I file... then I get a LOT of powdery dust... which I personally like... makes me feel like it is all coming off! Good luck!

I use a stainless steel tool with disposable abrasives on each side, one side coarse, other fine. This is my first time experiencing this 'shredding' effect. It seemed a never ending process. I researched this in Doug Schoone's book and online and could not find for certain what the issue may have been. Q 2 - Another pedi, I decided to do dry (all same process, just no soak). Again at the point of callus work, there was so much skin cells/ dust generated, literally was covered my apron and had to do a full clean of my area. Ick. Is this typcial with dry pedis? What could I have done differenlty? Maybe I did not have enough callus product on the foot? Thank you in advance for any suggestions advices. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
