(NewsUSA) - Are you one of the millions of American women who dislike their feet?

Dr. Jeffrey Best, a Norwalk, Conn., podiatrist, said that 25 percent of his patients complain about calluses, corns and dryness.

Unattractive feet could be one reason why pedicures have become one of the most popular spa treatments, adding to the booming $11 billion spa industry. And today's pedicures are no longer just about pretty toenails. Dry, cracked and sometimes painful feet and heels not only detract from the foot's appearance, but can also lead to infections.

To achieve a safe and healthy home pedicure, it's best to use podiatrist-approved tools. Best recommends the Artemis Woman Heel Smoother, a new pedicure tool that quickly and safely removes dry, cracked, calloused skin.

The Heel Smoother is a battery-operated, hand-held appliance with a diamond crystal buffing tip. After one use, feet will look healthier and feel smoother, according to Artemis Woman.

Ready for a home spa pedicure experience? Here's how to do it right:

* Soak your feet in a warm bubble bath to soften dry, stubborn calluses. Follow by drying thoroughly with a soft towel.

* To exfoliate, rotate the Artemis Woman Heel Smoother across the foot in a circular motion, making sure not to hold it in one spot for more than 2 seconds.

* Use a brand-new, high-quality emery board to shape and buff the nails.

* Moisturize and protect the skin by using lotion or foot butter. For severely cracked heels or tough calluses, apply foot butter again before bedtime. Wear socks to sleep to keep heels moisturized and soft.
