How to Soften Calluses

hey everybody I'm Kelly West your beauty and lifestyle expert and you know I'm also a licensed medical aesthetician and in my office I do a lot of really expensive treatments so I like to every once in a while show my patients how to do some of those treatments at home which is what I'm going to do for you today and one of the big issues that people come to me for are calluses so if you get calluses on your hands calluses on your feet this is a great home remedy for that the best thing to do especially for the feet is to do about a 20 minute foot soak so I'm going to show you quickly how to do that you just heat up some water get yourself a nice bowl like this one if you also just have like a big tupperware bowl that works too fill it with the warm water and then you want to add a big scoop of Epsom salt okay so just like this a little sprinkle around and then to help with um peeling off the skin apple cider vinegar the vinegar in the apple cider vinegar helps to eat away all the dead skin so you just do few little drops of that and then a gentle cleanser I give it just one big squeeze and there you go and you just want to mix all this up and then stick your feet in here and soak for about 20 minutes this is a great thing to do when you're sitting around watching TV all the those crazy Housewives um just put it in there for 20 minutes when you take your feet out those calluses are going to be nice and soft now if you have really stubborn ones that need a little extra attention you can also use a loofah or a pmus brush and just give it a nice good brushing off they'll start to fall off an additional treatment too that you can do from what you have at home just regular raw cane sugar and a little bit bit of Vaseline this is a great way to give an extra exfoliation to those calluses and it really is as simple it's just placing a little bit on the skin adding a little bit of the sugar and then just rubbing it in again giving it a nice deep exfoliation the great thing about this too is that you can then spread this mixture all over your feet all over your hands you can put on gloves or socks and sleep in that if you want you take that off rinse off your feet rinse off your hands they're going to be baby smooth super soft a couple of other options for additional hydration you can add a little bit of hyaluronic acid if you keep this in your bathroom for skin care put that on your heels on the um calluses of your hands also if you have vitamin E tablets laying around you can simply take scissors cut a tablet open it's pure vitamin E and then just spread it all over those calluses again let it sit for a little bit so it helps to really moisturize and soften those calluses it's a great way to fix things and then you always want to finish stuff up with a nice body lotion you're going to have smooth soft callous free hands and feet so again you guys I'm Kelly West for ehow.com I'll see you next time
