When to use a scrub instead of a scraper
Files, scrubs, gels and creams – foot care can be a tricky procedure to figure out. The best approach is to do what works best for your feet. In general, you should use a foot scrub more often than a foot file as foot scrapers, stones and files can be a lot more abrasive, so are not recommended for frequent use. Mild-moderately dry, scaly skin is ideal for a scrub whereas calluses and tough, hard to budge skin patches need to be filed back with a scraper. Don’t aim to do it all at once if the skin is really thick – use your scraper once a week until fresh skin is revealed.

I don't use many foot tools. I generally just like a manual exfoliator/scrub.

scrubs do nothing for my feet, I use foot files. My skin is pretty thick but I know when to stop and I always soak then well so I don't have to use any force to remove the skin.

I've never tried a scrub. I find my pumice stone works really well although I need to be careful not to overuse it or the skin can feel really tender.

I find scrubs too ticklish on my feet! I find foot files effective, as unglamorous as they are!

I never use a pemice stone. I prefer a manual exfoliator or body exfoliating cream

I use my foot scraper pretty much everyday in the shower, once feet have soaked up. My feet are always super soft.
