Calluses on the feet, while common, can be uncomfortable and unsightly. They form as a result of repeated friction or pressure on the skin, often due to ill-fitting shoes or frequent walking or running. Fortunately, you can treat calluses at home using natural remedies that soften the skin and promote healing. Here are some effective methods to get rid of foot calluses naturally:
1. Soaking Your Feet
Warm Water Soak: Soften the calluses by soaking your feet in warm water for about 15-20 minutes. This helps to loosen and soften the hard skin, making it easier to remove the callused area.
Epsom Salt Addition: Add a handful of Epsom salt to the soaking water. Epsom salt can help to exfoliate and nourish the skin, enhancing the softening effect on the calluses.
2. Using Baking Soda
After soaking your feet, mix three tablespoons of baking soda into a basin of warm water and soak your feet for another 15-20 minutes. Baking soda acts as a natural exfoliant, which aids in removing dead skin.
