About this deal
Electric callus removers feature a roller head covered with a sandpaper-like material. As you roll it over your calluses, the roller head gently buffs away the dead, hard skin to reveal the smooth, healthy skin beneath. After your soak, dry your feet with a towel and apply a Urea cream to the callus(es) you’re going to soften. Urea, or uric acid, helps to break down and exfoliate the dead skin of the callus to make it easier to remove. Correa recommends a higher strength urea cream (at least 20%) for this step because “the skin of the foot doesn’t have follicles, so you need a bit more acidity on it so it can penetrate.” Really rub it into the callus and let it soak in.
It is relatively easy to use, and you do not need another person’s support to file your heels and feet.
Pros and cons of electric callus removers
Be careful not to take too much skin off when you use your callus remover, particularly if it’s a manual style with blades. That can cause bleeding and possible infections. Start slowly with your remover, and take off just a little bit of the dead skin each day to avoid irritation.
Once we narrowed down our options, we compared each callus remover's benefits to its price tag. While some choices on our list may be more expensive, we wanted to give a wide range of options that would fit all needs and budgets. Based on all of these factors, we compiled this list of the best callus removers on the market. It’s possible that your callus is actually a wart, in which case these treatments won’t help (and could actually introduce more problems). Besides, electric callus removers come in all shapes and sizes, and using them may be quite confusing particularly if you are accustomed to the pumice stone or other conventional means such as razors.Moisturise your feet with lotion or cream each day to prevent calluses. In particular, look for formulas that contain salicylic acid, ammonium lactate, or urea, which can soften the skin.
