Callus Stones

Contents[Hide]

Calluses  and corns  can be unpleasant if you let them get really bad. A great way to avoid the pain of having excess skin build-up and harden, is prevention . There are a lot of callus treatments  for once you've gotten them, but sloughing your feet with a callus stone  as often as you're in the shower can go a long way. 

Preventing Calluses

  • It's best to wear shoes that fit properly and if you find that there are certain hot spots on your feet where the shoe is toughening the skin, you could use blister pads to buffer the skin from the shoe
  • The same advice applies to if you're doing yard work or work that's generally hard on your hands, wear gloves!
  • Apply lotion regularly to hands and feet, where calluses are most likely to occur.

Foot Soak Help

Foot soaks  seem to be the most helpful in terms of softening feet and readying them for scrubs  or callus stones. A good home-made foot soak  can be as simple as combining some apple cider vinegar  with water and soaking your feet for about ten minutes.
