Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Foot File, Pink

Product Information

Make sure that you follow the manufacturer’s directions, since overuse can cause your skin to become quite raw. Overall, this simple file is one of the most effective tools you can use to keep calluses and other long-term dry skin build-up at bay. Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.

This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. For a natural way to file away dead skin from your feet, consider a pumice stone. Made of volcanic stone, Nimxy’s pumice stone can help smooth your skin naturally. The stone is lightweight yet abrasive, and it removes dead skin from the feet gently, while also reducing the size of calluses or corns to make them less uncomfortable. There’s a variety of different foot files with which you can choose to work. Metal foot files literally ‘grate’ the calluses off the bottom or side of your foot. They need to be used quite lightly to prevent injury so be careful not to use too much pressure. Sandpaper foot files are made from emery paper. They are not as durable as metal files and are used for minor or dead skin removal. The two types can be used together with a metal file first followed by a softer sandpaper foot file to give the skin a smooth feel. Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.Key specs – Material: Pumice stone, plastic bristles; Wet or dry skin: Both; Electric: Yes; Dimensions: 17 x 20 x 20.7cm Pumice stones are easy to use and easy to care for. To use, soak your feet in warm water for several minutes, as would happen at a professional pedicure appointment. Dampen the stone and scrub softly using circular motions. Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. Those who want soft, smooth feet without (a) putting in the work, and (b) spending lots of money on regular pedicures, should buy the Scholl Velvet Smooth electronic foot file. In use, your “effort” with this file will extend simply to applying light pressure against your dry skin; the file will do the rest.

Dry and hardened skin on the feet can be uncomfortable; it can even be embarrassing for some, with such folk shunning sandals to keep their feet hidden all year round. But your feet deserve better – and with a little care and attention, it is possible for them to see the light of day!

What do corns and calluses look like?

One warning that you’ll see consistently on your hunt for a foot file is that the majority state they shouldn’t be used by people who are diabetic or suffer poor circulation in their legs. These conditions make a person more prone to infection and other complications. For example, a callus could develop into an ulcer, and a file could potentially damage live skin, which risks bacteria entering the wound. For that reason, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional before using a foot file. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). Frequent scrubbing and filing of your feet can promote blood circulation. Not only do your feet become more healthy but you may feel more relaxed and rejuvenated. Dead skin, if left on the foot, can trap dirt and bacteria which can lead to dangerous fungal infections. Regularly scraping off dead skin keeps your feet germ free. Key specs – Material: Not specified; Wet or dry skin: Dry; Electric: Yes; Dimensions: 18 x 6.4 x 9cm The Velvet Smooth electric foot file also comes with an exfoliation brush, which you can use to clear dry, flaky skin before you file away hard skin. A slathering of some quality moisturiser once you’re done will ensure your feet are velvety smooth. Of course, this file is more expensive than regular foot files, but it delivers a professional pedicure experience in your own home.
