How to Get Your Flip-Flop-Battered Feet Pretty AgainAfter a summer of blisters and calluses, put your feet in rehab with these sole-saving products |
Post-Summer Woe: Major Calluses In order for moisturizers to really work their magic, you first have to get rid of calluses -- the buildup of dead skin cells caused by constant rubbing and friction. The key to making them disappear: regular exfoliation. "Because your feet are more difficult to exfoliate than your body [and less sensitive], you can use a scrub on them a few times a week," says Patricia Martin, director of marketing for Topical BioMedics, Inc., who prefers natural salt or sugar scrubs to slough away dead skin. An editor favorite -- Glominerals Smoothing Salt Scrub. This Dead Sea salt scrub works for your whole body, but I love the lavender mint scent for at-home pedicures.
