Deep and Satisfying Callus Treatment

Calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop due to repeated friction, pressure, or irritation, often on the feet or hands. Here’s a step-by-step guide for a deep, satisfying treatment to leave your skin smooth and refreshed.

Step 1: Soak the Area

• Fill a basin with warm water and add a few tablespoons of Epsom salt or apple cider vinegar.
• Soak your feet or hands for 15–20 minutes to soften the hardened skin.

Step 2: Exfoliate Gently

• Use a pumice stone, foot file, or callus remover tool to gently rub the callus in circular motions.
• Focus on removing the thick, dead skin layer without causing discomfort.
• Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can damage healthy skin.

Step 3: Apply Callus-Softening Gel (Optional)

• For stubborn calluses, apply a callus-softening cream containing urea or salicylic acid.
• Follow product instructions carefully, and wash off as directed.

Step 4: Rinse and Dry Thoroughly

• Wash your feet or hands with clean water to remove exfoliated skin.
• Pat dry completely to prevent moisture-related infections.

Step 5: Moisturize Deeply

• Massage a thick, hydrating cream or foot balm into the skin.
• Look for creams with urea, shea butter, or glycerin to lock in moisture.

Step 6: Protect Your Skin

• Wear cushioned, well-fitting shoes and gloves to prevent future calluses.
• Use protective pads for pressure-prone areas if needed.

Pro Tip:
Repeat this routine weekly for lasting results. For severe or painful calluses, consult a dermatologist or podiatrist. Enjoy smooth, healthy skin with consistent care!
