Despite my best efforts, I’ve long struggled with supremely dry feet. They’re remnants of a youth spent in dance studios and wandering around barefoot. They’ve only gotten worse on the march to middle age; the effects of perimenopause on the skin cannot be understated! And when slathering lotion and regular pedicures weren’t enough, I knew I had to invest in a foot file to do the heavy lifting, which is how I came across the Dr. Scholl’s electric callus remover — and now I simply cannot live without it.

This game-changing device is now a cherished part of my body care routine. It has completely transformed the look and feel of my once painfully cracked heels and callused toes. I used to be able to hear my feet scratching up against my bed sheets, but now I slide into bed like a mermaid gliding through the sea, with nary a foot snag to be found. Have you ever had your foot skin catch on a fuzzy wool blanket? It’s incredibly demoralizing.

The Dr. Scholl’s electric callus remover does all the hard work of a traditional foot file, but is, in my opinion, far more effective. It is easy to manipulate and works quickly as the rotating roller head sloughs off dead, hard skin in mere moments. The result is soft, smooth and baby-fresh skin. The spinning head is removable, which makes it easy to clean, though to be honest I mainly just rinse it under the sink while holding the button down. It makes a mess but it gets the job done.
