Removing calluses: The best tools for at home

Even if stubborn calluses are best removed in a pedicure practice using a scalpel, cutter or plane - the home care routine should be simple, gentle and safe! To eliminate the risk of injury, handy callus sponges and files are preferred. Natural lava stones can also be used to quickly and gently remove calluses.

The best tools for soft and smooth feet

Removing calluses, but how? With our home care aids, you can be sure of safe and convenient use. Just like pumice stones and other skin care essentials, compact callus sponges are comfortable to hold. The best thing is that they can be used not only when dry but also when wet. This means you can remove dirt, calluses and calluses without much effort.

Do you prefer to rely on the power of nature? Discover coarse-pored lava stones made from basaltic lava. Due to the rough surface, you should only use these abrasives on moistened skin and not rub the stone too hard over the skin. Using circular movements, lava stones remove calluses and flakes of skin in no time at all. Just like callus sponges, you can simply clean this natural product under running water.

How do calluses form?

It is completely natural for the skin to renew itself in regular cycles. Old skin cells dry out and are shed and new ones grow. Only if the skin flakes do not come off quickly enough do localised or extensive calluses develop. The formation of calluses, also known as hyperkeratosis, is often not only visually disturbing, it can also become a medical indication. If deep cracks and fissures in the cornea pave the way for inflammation or mycosis, quick and effective help is required.

Calluses tend to form where the foot is exposed to particular stress - on the heel and ball of the foot, the outside of the foot and near the bone. Foot deformities and skin diseases such as psoriasis and neurodermatitis can also favour the development of calluses.

With careful foot care, you can prevent the often painful hardening of the skin. The mildly formulated care products from peclavus PODOcare are just as suitable for this as high-quality callus sponges and haptically and visually appealing lava stones to combat calluses.

Gentle care for rough feet? That's why this method makes sense

Why should rotary instruments, scalpels and callus scrapers only be used in professional foot care and podiatry practices? Because safe use is only guaranteed by specially trained specialist staff. Experience and sound knowledge are simply the best prerequisites both for assessing the condition of the skin and for a treatment tailored to individual needs.

Therefore, advise patients against risky self-experiments and recommend user-friendly solutions with low risk of injury. The skin care tools from HELLMUT RUCK, developed with great attention to detail, such as callus sponges, lava stones, pumice stones and foot files, form the ideal basis for safe and long-lasting foot care equipment in the private sector.

How medical and home foot care complement each other perfectly

In order to keep your feet soft and smooth, it is important to use high-quality foot care products with valuable ingredients between pedicure appointments at the practice. At HELLMUT RUCK, you will find everything you need to regenerate stressed feet quickly and effectively. Our extensive range extends from deodorising foot baths and foot creams with a moisturising and moisturising effect to light and airy foot care foam, which impresses with its practical application.

Do you prefer to use certified natural cosmetics? In the production of our constantly evolving peclavus care lines, we prefer to use natural ingredients with proven efficacy. In a few cases, however, we cannot and do not want to do without synthetically produced additives such as urea - for the sake of foot health.
