Soothe Rough Feet With My Other Favorite DIY #Callus Foot Fix Recipe!


Smooth feet.jpeg
Pretty feet need just as much tender loving care as your complexion--so treat them right with this great foot fix!

Give your feet the help it craves for rough skin or calluses with my other favorite nourishing DIY foot mask. What is so nice about this particular recipe is how relaxing it feels as those creamy, beneficial ingredients go to work.

Having olive oil with its rich antioxidants helps with smoothing and softening.  This ingredient also is a form of vegetable squalene, a natural lubricant with humectant properties to attract the water to the skin cell for more thoroughly moisturizing that roughness.

Buttermilk is loaded with more antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that help keeps the skin supple. Something else it has is lactic acid, which provides gentle peeling for skin renewal.

Mayonnaise also provides a nourishing source of further benefits for that hard skin.  It has antioxidants and protein from its oil and eggs among the most noteworthy of its ingredients.

Last of all, this recipe uses tea tree oil for its antiseptic powers for killing bacteria and fungi, which could be lurking in a funky looking toe nail.

After you prepare this foot fix, you will have to drape enough plastic wrap around your feet to cover them once you spread the mixture on.  You also will need a clean pair of white cotton socks to keep the treatment intact.



My Second Favorite Callus Foot Fix Recipe

½ cup of olive oil
½ cup of buttermilk
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
4 drops of tea tree oil
Plastic Wrap


Blend all the ingredients together before spreading on your clean feet.

Then wrap your freshly lubricated feet in plastic wrap and securing in a pair of white cotton socks.

Wear this treatment at least an hour or longer for even more benefits.  

You will love the results!

I am so hyped over these products from Every Beauty that unexpectedly arrived at my door.  You may think big deal over ordinary products to work on your hands and feet for smoothing nails and skin.  However, you have no idea how extraordinarily well they performed.  Once I explain the situation, you will understand and want to buy these also.

My mother is older and has a bent (hammer toe) on one foot from arthritis.  Thick, very hard skin surrounds that toe nail at the bottom and close to the top of the nail across.  This makes it uncomfortable for her to walk in shoes.  We have tried all sorts of soaks, lotions, oils, pedicure tools, and files without much success--that is until we used the All in One Foot Smoother from Every Beauty

Unlike a pumice stone, this is a gently curved sponge for easy maneuvering with a coarse and finer side along with useable edges for dermabrasion as well.  You will be able to get any higher spots with rough, thick skin so much better with this tool because of this design but also due to the texture of the sponge itself.

My mother soaked her feet in warm water and suds to soften them the best she before thoroughly drying.  We started with the coarse side and rubbed with steady, but soft pressure over that problem spot.  Before long, we noticed that lump beginning to decrease.  We kept going until the area became tender after a while of filing.  

Nonetheless, the high rough skin near the top of that hammer toe was nearly smooth now and almost flat, which excited us tremendously.  Let me tell you how much easier this made it later when she slipped on her shoes. 

I almost forgot to mention this product helps with corns.  We worked on one on her little toe with the finer side briefly.  In the process, we peeled some skin and smoothed over the corn a bit.  We didn't get rid of it, but this was a good start because it did cut into the corn somewhat.  We will continue using this but gently and gradually to further take it down.

Maintenance of this tool is simple.  Cleaning involves running hot water over it.  Next, I doused it with alcohol over every part to saturate it for killing germs.  I parked it for about ten minutes and then rinsed it with more hot water before allowing it to dry.

I found the Every Beauty 3 in 1 Nail File was also wonderful.  This looks like a mini computer mouse with a stainless steel edge that is straight then curved for filing.  This device does not fray nails like emery boards often can or make all that dust when you file.  

Honestly, I think these products are outstanding and you need to pick them up.  Normally the All in One Foot Smoother and the Every Beauty 3 in 1 Nail File retail for $4.99 each, but they are currently on sale for $3.99 a piece.  Visit Every Beauty and buy these!   You can thank me later.

Need a Cheap Homemade Callus Remover?

This DIY foot soak can help soften and get rid of your callus.




Your feet no longer have to suffer from often harsher commercial treatments for a callus.  The simple recipe I'm going to share with you will soften up any tough callus more gently if you follow this advice. 

Get your foot tub, basin or even a clean bucket to soak your feet in.

Remember I told you to check the bakery department of your local grocery stores and ask if you can have one of their empty buckets.  They will probably give you one for free and be happy about it since you will save them a trip to dispose of it.  This former bakery bucket can be used for any cleaning even of your feet if in a pinch.

Fill your foot tub or whatever you want to stick your feet in that will fit with warm water.  Now you will need to add 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of salt (table, kosher, or sea salt) to your warm water.  Mix and then add your feet and make sure there is enough water to reach to the ankles before you get comfortable in your chair. 

Grab a book or your laptop and stay put in that water for at least twenty minutes to let the ingredients work on your feet. 

When your time is up, you need to get your pumice stone or whatever tool you use for exfoliating your feet and gently rub the callus.  When your skin starts shedding on your tool, then return your feet back to the water. 

Don't overwork your callus and cause a bigger problem.  Be patient and repeat this treatment daily until you get rid of that painful callus.

After you dry, you moisturize those feet with a heavy cream even petroleum jelly before sticking them into a pair of white natural fiber-socks.  Do this before bedtime and skin on your feet will be so pampered and soft the next day.

This may sound like a messy way to treat those calluses.  However, it is effective, handy, and will give you a nice soothing break at practically no expense.
