Heel calluses

[mbcdefg]

Do you have a tried-and-true home remedy for getting rid of heel calluses?

I'd like to get a pedicure before I go on vacation, and they offer callus removal for an extra $5, but I want to try it myself in the meantime. I've been using a pumice stone after my shower, and last night I soaked my feet in hot water and epsom salts before scrubbing, but I haven't gotten great results. Maybe the pumice stone is too old or ineffective? I've also tried putting on the Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream before bed and sleeping in sweatsocks, but that hasn't done much either.

Any little tools or tricks that you love?

The Pedegg works pretty well, but takes a few days of work:

If you have some time, I've read good (but disgusting) things about this: www.amazon.com/Baby-Foot-Easy-Lavendar-Scented/dp/B00461F4PA

The Baby Feet work really well. I have terrible calluses and it got tons and tons of dead skin off my feet.

It takes 2-3 days for the peeling to start, IIRC, and my feet peeled for a solid 5-7 days so I wouldn't do it unless my vacation was a few weeks away.

I love Baby Foot. It is so gross, yet extremely satisfying (if that makes sense).

I'm looking at the photos on amazon. It's terrifying yet satisfying at the same time.

Thanks

I've got two weeks ... maybe I'll try this when I come back?

Two weeks is plenty of time. I did it about 10 days before I went on a trip and the shedding was done by the time I flew out. Just soak your feet in warm water for about 15 minutes every day, that will help speed the process along.

I just did Baby Foot on Tuesday night. So excited for the peeling to start!

Before bed, I soak my feet in warm water, rub with a pumice, apply Eucerin Intensive Repair foot cream and put on cotton socks to wear overnight. My heels have never looked so good and I have some nasty dry, cracked skin otherwise!

2 weeks is enough time! Get yourself some baby feet!

My heels are terrible. . Baby feet helped but it didn't touch the worst areas on the heel. I have to do Ped egg + Kerasal at night, socks on for several days & it'll get way better.

Ugh. I googled pics too. So gross yet so fascinating.

Has anyone been to the podiatrist or anything for this? My feet are horrible and I was thinking about seeing a doctor about it. It seems like they look okay for about a week after a pedicure but then they're back to being gross.

I was a Baby Foot fan but they were out of stock of the original last time I needed it (I find the lavender one doesn't work for me for whatever reason) so I took a chance on this cheaper alternative. I paid around $10 and it worked just as well as the baby foot I'm going to order a back-up now that it's down to $8

Oooooh, interesting. Thanks!

So intrigued by this Baby Foot thing!

I have heard of soaking feet in a solution of listerine, vinegar and hot water. Has anyone ever tried this? I've been seeking a remedy as well.

OMG, my feet started burning just reading about that Baby Foot stuff. I was reading the one-star reviews.

I have Mr. Pumice  , the Ped Egg, and a Diamancel Buffer #11.  I leave Mr. Pumice in the shower, and end up using that regularly.  All of them work pretty well though.
