These exfoliators will leave your feet babylike surface that scrapes away at hardened calluses, corns, and leathery heels. Ergonomic handles make foot rasps more comfortable to use and allow more thorough job on your feet. Foot rasps can be purchased alone, in a kit with other pedicure tools, or they may be sold as a combination foot rasp tool. Don't forget to finish your pedicure with a moisturizer to help keep your newly uncovered skin super soft.
Stand Alone Foot Rasps
If you just need to add a dead skin or callus removal tool to your pedicure arsenal, look for a foot rasp with a comfortable grip. Be sure to read the manufacturer's directions, as some tools work better on dry feet and may need to be used before you soak for your pedicure. These tools often come with multiple surfacesa coarser one for tough corn and callus removal, and a finer one for exfoliating dry skin and adding the finishing, smoothing touches to your pedicure. Be gentle with these tools, and only remove dead skin to avoid injuring your feet.
Foot Rasps with Extras
Since foot rasps specialize in callus removal, they often come with callus shavers attached. Foot rasps may also be purchased in a kit with other pedicure essentials included, such as a clipper and a nail file. Some rasps have a container attached to them that catches your skin filings as you work for much less messy foot care. You can also find a foot rasp as one of many attachments for a single handled pedicure tool.
