Calluses are the result of poor oxygenation of tissues due to pressure from working instruments or even musical instruments where certain areas of the hands that are constantly stimulated create a kind of 'protective layer' that leaves the skin thicker.
Here are 3 steps to removing these calluses at home:
1. To leave the hands of sauce
Leave the hand soaking in a bowl with warm water and a few drops of essential oil of your choice, for about 10 minutes, to soften the skin, facilitating the removal of dry skin.
2. Scrub the callus with stone pomes
A great home remedy for removing the excess keratin that gives rise to callus in certain areas of the hands is after leaving hands soaking in the warm water to make the skin soften, rub the region of dry callus with a pumice stone for a few minutes.
3. Remove dry skin
The following should be applied an exfoliating cream based on sweet almond oil and cornmeal, which removes the outermost layer of the skin, leaving the hand smooth and hydrated. However this exfoliation for being more intense should only be performed on altered days until the callus disappears completely.
You can prepare this homemade scrub as follows:
Ingredients:
- 30 ml of sweet almond oil
- 1 teaspoon cornmeal or sugar
Preparation:
Simply mix the ingredients and rub in the hands, insisting on the callus region, to remove the thicker skin.
Another option is to apply a salicylic acid cream that is purchased at the pharmacy or pharmacy for handling.
4. Moisturize the skin
The last step is to apply a moisturizer to keep the skin soft and silky, and it is more appropriate to use a hand cream for being more effective. In addition, remedies with exfoliating properties that help in the removal of calluses can also be used, as in How to Get Rid of Calluses.
To prevent a new callus from forming in the same place it is important to protect the hands avoiding the friction that caused the callus initially and for this workers should wear thick rubber or fabric gloves, for example.
