How to Make Rough Callused Feet Soft

Soft feet

Feet can become callused for any number of reasons. Wearing the wrong shoes, or no shoes at all, is probably the most common cause for rough, callused feet. Other causes might be obesity, or medical conditions like eczema. Rough feet can be embarrassing, especially when exposed in minimal shoes like flip flops. Luckily, callused feet can be treated, and they'll soon become baby soft feet again with just a few quick remedies.

Instructions

1. Use a pumice stone on dry skin to get rid of less stubborn calluses.

2. Soak feet regularly. Add moisturizing bath soap to a tub of warm water and soak until your feet feel softened and fresh. For a stronger effect, you can add about a cup of vinegar to your water, or, alternately, baking soda. If using baking soda, add 1 cup for each gallon of water that you use.

3. Pumice your feet again while they're soaking.

4. Dry your feet and apply lanolin, olive oil, shea butter or cocoa butter.

5. Before bed, use the same moisturizer you did after soaking your feet. Use cotton socks to keep the moisturizer from harming your sheets.
