What is a Callus Remover
A callus remover is a product designed to soften and remove hardened, thickened skin areas known as calluses, which often form on feet, hands, or other areas that experience frequent friction or pressure. Callus removers can be creams, gels, liquid solutions, or mechanical tools that help break down or exfoliate these tough skin layers.
Maundy All Natural Callus Remover contains natural ingredients and added vitamins to nourish the skin, making them gentler and effective for routine maintenance. Using a callus remover regularly can help keep skin smooth and prevent discomfort associated with calluses.
The purpose of a callus remover is not only aesthetic—achieving softer, smoother skin—but also functional, as it can help alleviate pain or discomfort caused by hardened skin.
There are different types of callus removers, each serving slightly different needs:
- Creams and Lotions:
These products are often enriched with ingredients like urea, salicylic acid, or alpha-hydroxy acids, which work to break down the tough outer layers of the skin. The Maundy formula, also adds vitamins and natural ingredients for added nourishment, helping to maintain healthy skin post-treatment.
- Liquid Solutions:
Liquid callus removers are typically applied directly to the callused area with a cotton ball or applicator. The solution penetrates the thickened skin, softening it for easier removal.
- Exfoliating Tools:
Files, pumice stones, and electronic callus removers physically buff away the hardened skin. These are often used alongside creams or solutions to enhance the softening effect and achieve better results.
- Chemical Peels and Masks:
For more intensive treatment, chemical peels or masks specifically designed for calluses are left on the skin for a set period before rinsing or peeling away. These can be quite effective for deeply set calluses and often incorporate moisturizing ingredients to prevent skin dryness afterward. However, we have found these products and treatments to be harsh and cause feet to be sore and tender.
Using Callus Removers Effectively
Regular maintenance is key to preventing calluses from returning too quickly. Once you have reached the level of softness that you want, we recommend using Maundy once a month for maintenance. Start by making sure your feet are dry and clean. Apply Maundy solution for 1-5 minutes and use file to exfoliate (we find it helpful to apply a few drops to the file before exfoliating), then rinse off and moisturize to lock in hydration. It’s often recommended to use callus removers once a week or as needed, depending on your lifestyle and skin’s needs. Maundy can be used multiple times a week because it does not contain chemicals and is gentle on the skin.
