Goodbye calluses! Hello soft feet!

Why they appear and how to eliminate them step by step

What are calluses on the feet?

Calluses , or hyperkeratosis, are areas where the skin has thickened to protect itself from friction or pressure. It's our body's natural defense against external aggression. They usually appear on the heel, sole, or sides of the foot, and although they don't hurt at first, over time they can become uncomfortable and even crack.

Feet are more exposed and suffer more during the warmer months. In summer, we walk barefoot and wear sandals or flip-flops, which causes more friction and dehydration than usual. High temperatures also dry out the skin, and sweat disrupts its natural balance.

Main causes of calluses on the feet

Inappropriate footwear: heels, narrow toes, or soles that are too thin.
Constant friction or pressure: walking or standing for long periods of time.
Dry skin: Lack of hydration causes the skin to lose elasticity and harden.
Uneven gait: if you put more weight on certain areas of the foot.
Overweight or intense activity: increased pressure when supporting the foot.

Types of hardness

TYPE OF HARDNESS	DESCRIPTION
SURFACE HARDENING	Wide, hardened areas, especially on the heel.
HARD CORNS	Smaller, localized areas, often painful when walking.
SOFT CORNS	Appear between the toes, where there is more moisture.
HELLOMAS / "CORN EYE"	Corns with a small, compact, hard central core.

How to remove calluses?

Let's get straight to the point: how to remove calluses on your feet effectively without resorting to harsh treatments.

Softening: The First Step to Success

Prepare a foot bath with warm water and mild soap and soak your feet for 10-15 minutes. You can add a tablespoon of baking soda if you like. This step will soften the skin, preparing it for a more effective exfoliation.
Exfoliate: goodbye dead skin

While your feet are still damp, exfoliate them with gentle circular motions on the hardest areas. Then use a pumice stone or foot file, if you feel it's necessary—do not press too hard, so as not to damage the skin.

After exfoliating, apply a cream specifically for calluses or dry feet.

Look for ingredients like urea, shea butter, glycerin, or lactic acid. After moisturizing, put on a pair of cotton socks and let the cream sit overnight. You'll wake up with silky-soft feet.
