Emjoi Micro-Pedi Review

The topic for this week IS...Your Best Foot Forward! I'm going to discuss what I've been using (on my feet & legs) and comparing them to products I'm currently trying to see if they're better. First up! Exfoliation. I've been using the Swedish Clover Foot File for YEARS (shown in my blog post here)! It was used on me and recommended to me, where I get my pedicures done (Earthsavers). It's not a grater. It doesn't cut you. There's no pain involved and it sloughs off dead skin effortlessly and fabulously. I purchase two of them a year, which equates to about $25. Over the past two years, I've been hearing a lot about Emjoi's Micro-Pedi (which is a device accepted by the American Podiatric Medical Association). I decided to purchase one! The one I purchased (QVC) is battery operated, but there is one that is electric and another that is rechargeable. Does it work? I consider this device to be very "lightweight" (and I don't mean in weight). If you're one to get pedicures (especially professional ones) regularly and take exceptional care of your feet, this should work for you. This will help you maintain your pedicure. This did not work very well for me. I have dry skin and so the bottoms of my feet, also get really dry. I let my feet go for 2 weeks on purpose, to really see how this would work. It removed some layers of skin, but not as effectively as my Swedish Clover Foot File (which just sloughs off dead skin with ease). So I can't imagine this being effective, for someone with calloused heels! The emjoi comes with 2 rollers! The blue is the extra coarse roller (my heels laughed at it) and the black is the super coarse roller (it did much better, but still didn't remove everything). Depending on the condition of your feet, you can only use these rollers 1-2 times (that is my opinion). They lose their coarseness after each use and these roller sets cost anywhere from $19.95-$39.95 for replacements. I paid about $40 for the machine and received 4 rollers with it, but I would need to buy replacement rollers to continue using this thing! Cause' I've used ALL 4 rollers UP ALREADY! And I don't have bad feet! The emjoi didn't take everything off my heels! I had to use my foot file to finish the job. Another thing I want to mention, is you just don't GLIDE it over your heels and it removes everything. You still have to work! You have to go UP, DOWN, SIDE, SIDE, LEFT, RIGHT, to get everything off! The purpose of me buying this was NOT TO WORK! I literally watched all of America's Got Talent tv show (which is a 1 hour show) and used the entire time (2 rollers) trying to get my heels smooth. Only then, were my feet smooth. That's exhausting! So there you have it! I'll be sticking with my Swedish Clover Foot File. What do you use to exfoliate your feet? Or do you get professional pedicures?

If you don't like heels, don't look any further...scroll down :) In the next two gifs, I'm showing how much more dead skin the Swedish Clover Foot File sloughs off in comparison to the Emjoi Micro-Pedi. I felt it was necessary to show. Again, these were my opinions and results.
