Bedtime Piña Colada Callus Treatment
Calluses are those thickened Patches of dead skin that form on your heels and toes. If left unattended, you may develop fissures- extremely painful cracks in the skin-particularly on the backs of your heels. These can bleed and become infected.
Don’t let calluses reach this point. You’ll need to soak your feet, reduce hardened skin with a natural pumice stone and moisturize to rehydrate thirsty feet.
Ingredients
-1 footbath (use a large, clean bucket if you don’t own one)
- 2 to 3 cups pineapple juice
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 1 natural pumice stone
- 1 cotton bath towel
Your favorite good quality moisturizer for extra-dry skin
A pair of 100% cotton socks
Directions
1. Add the pineapple juice to the footbath. Pineapple contains a natural enzyme called brome lain, which breaks down hardened skin.
2. Add the coconut milk and stir well.
3. Soak your feet for approximately 8-10 minutes. Rinse well with warm water.
4. Apply the pumice stone to calloused areas and rub gently. Don’t overdo it-you don’t want to irritate or remove too much tender skin.
5. Towel them dry. Apply your favorite moisturizer while your feet are still damp.
6. Put on your cotton socks and wear them through the night as you sleep. You’ll awaken with much softer feet!
Tip
To avoid having calluses try wearing closed shoes and sandals rather than open-backed shoes (flip flops or pumps), which slap against the heels and create friction.
