What's the best way to get rid of get dead skin on the footsoles?

Question

Lots of hard dead skin on the bottom of feet...what's the best way to get rid of it and get smooth soles ???

Answer 1

I use a sugar scrub from Mary Kay Cosmetics athat works wonders, but I think getting a loufa and body wash and just scrub really well. But not too hard! Otherwise it will become red anc chafed

Answer 2

I used to be a Nail Tech and did many, many pedicures.

Two things you can do. I recommend doing both.

1. A sloughing lotion (has a very mild acid that helps wear away the dead skin)

2. Sugar and any kind of body or baby oil mixed together as a scrub. There is no high end product that compares to this! Be careful because it leaves you a little slippery.

Cutting or crazy over-filing actually produces more callouses. You body reacts as if its an injury and works double time to replace the protective callous.

You have to sneak up on those little guys!

Good luck!

Answer 3

To begin calluses are formed by pressure and friction, it a natural way for the foot to protect itself. You should use a pumice stone regularly as well as use thick cushioned socks when not wearing heels. File away any developing calluses with an emery board or pumice stone following a bath or shower, when the water has soften your callus when used with a softening foot lotions. Always keep your feet moisturized.

Choose shoes shaped like human feet. Narrow-toed shoes make feet more prone to calluses because the foot is held at a funny angle inside the shoe.
Buy high-quality exercise shoes with plenty of padding and room in the toe area. Don't try to save money by buying cheap shoes. Your feet will suffer. Usually painless, calluses can become a health problem if they're allowed to grow so thick they crack and become infected.

See a podiatrist or sports-oriented doctor for chronic calluses.
Treat yourself to monthly pedicures to help keep calluses on your feet to a minimum, but know that pedicures and similar treatments treat only the symptoms, not the underlying cause.
If a callus becomes painful, it may signify anemia, poor circulation, diabetes, a vitamin deficiency or a developing corn. Seek medical consultation soon.

Answer 4

Soak your feet in warm water to soften the skin, follow up with salicylic acid to exfoliate your feet of dead skin cell that cause roughness and lastly, apply some intensive moisturizing feet cream.

Answer 5

Soak feet in warm water for 15 minutes then exfoliate afterward next use a lotion & cover your feet with socks before bed. They will be alot softer in the morning.

Also a good moisturizer on a regular basis helps.

Answer 7

Soak them in water and rub with pumis stone and apply a moisturiser such as vaseline and leave them for 15 mins without touching anything. And cover them with socks. If you do this before going bed... it will be convinient for you.
