Wearers of high-heels would have scraped, peeled, and maybe even put a blade to them before.

We're talking about calluses and corns, that is. These annoying, and sometimes painful growths, are the bane of many women who have worn stilettos and heels one too many times.

Here's a quick and easy beauty solution to remove them.

SCRAPE IT^TM Professional Callus Removal Tool, a deceptively simple-to-use callus remover, is a safe alternative to cutting away at hardened skin that will injure if not used properly.

A pocket-sized device that consists of a stainless steel hollow tube and another plastic one one within the former, there are no obvious sharp edges to cut away at skin. Instead, the end of the stainless steel tube is curved slightly inwards, and this area is used to scrape at dead skin to minimise any risk of injury, than if you were to use something like a razor blade.

To use, soften skin to be scraped by soaking in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, while holding the end of the remover at a 90-degree angle to the surface area of your foot, rub the end of the remover over the rough skin to scrape away at the callus.

Keep your feet wet as you use the remover to facilitate ease of use.

The best thing about the callus remover is that it will not remove healthy skin that is exposed as you glide it over hardened skin, as it does not make use of sharp blades for removing dead skin.

SCRAPE IT^TM is retailing at Watsons, Guardian pharmacies and Unity Healthcare pharmacies at $38.90.
