Effective methods of removing coarse skin of feet

The coarse skin on the heels does not look very attractive, regardless of the season. Even if no one walks in the yard during winter and in open shoes, thickening of the skin and cracks on the feet brings many disorders. Therefore, caring for the face, neck and hands should not forget about the legs. But what if the problem has already occurred? To remove the coarsened skin from the feet, it is enough to use a fairly simple method, which we will discuss in this article.

Procedure

1. Preparation. The first step is how to prepare the stops for cleaning. Pour warm water into the basin and lower the legs into it for about ten minutes. In addition, you can remove fatigue if you add a couple of drops of essential oil or sea salt.
2. Removal of coarse skin. After the legs are stripped off and the feet are softened, you can start removing the keratinized areas. To do this, you will need to purchase special tools in advance: a pumice stone, a brush or a saw. The latter is used in especially neglected cases, when the skin is not removed by other means.

   The procedure should be carried out carefully and in no case do not use force, otherwise you will damage healthy skin. Preliminary legs must be carefully wiped with a towel.

   Important! Never use a razor or blade to finish the process faster. If the coarse skin of the foot is too much, its removal can be delayed. In this case, it is better to buy an electric file, which will significantly speed up the cutting of the skin.

3. When all the excess is removed from the heels, lower the legs again into warm water. Be sure to pour new and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
4. After the bath, wipe the feet again and treat them with a special foot scrub, and then rub nourishing cream into the legs. Put your socks on your feet, preferably from cotton.

All these manipulations are recommended to be carried out at least once a week in order to later forget about the cracks in the feet. But there are other methods of removing the rough skin of the feet, which our ancestors used.

Recipes of traditional medicine

• After thoroughly washing your feet, attach to each heel half a fresh bulb, put on socks made from natural fabric and leave it for an hour and a half. After this time, the skin will become very soft and easily succumb to pumice. This method will work even in the most severe cases, if it is conducted every three days.
• To get rid of rough skin on the feet, normal soap and soda will help. Soap should be grinded (you can even grate it on a grater), add a teaspoon of soda to it and apply it to clean feet. Then the feet should be wrapped in film or wrapped tightly with usual plastic bags.

Keep the mixture for about twenty minutes, and then remove the dead skin with a brush or saw blade and rinse the foot in warm water.

Then you should rub olive or any other vegetable oil into the heels, wait until it absorbs, and put on warm socks.

It is recommended to carry out this procedure once a week, but when the skin began to thicken much less often, there will be enough and monthly care.

In principle, the appearance of this problem can be avoided. Just choose high-quality shoes and keep it clean all the time. And in the summer avoid footwear with an open heel, as dirt and stones and lead to coarsening of the skin of the feet.
