How Do I Remove Calluses on My Hands?
To remove calluses on hands, first soften them with hot water before proceeding with the removal process. There are various methods available, such as scrubbing vigorously with lemon, using a scrubbing cream, or applying specialized ointments. It is generally not recommended to cut off calluses on hands with scissors, as this can be unsafe and may accidentally cause scratches.
1. Hot Water Softening: Soften the calluses with hot water. The hotter the water, the better the softening effect. Let the hands soak for a longer time, and after softening, gently rub them with a pumice stone to avoid using scissors or blades, which can be unsafe and ineffective. After rubbing, use lemon to vigorously scrub the areas with calluses. Repeat several times to effectively remove them. Additionally, apply some moisturizing lotion to nourish the skin after scrubbing.
2. Specialized Ointment: Soak your hands in warm water for a while to soften the calluses. After softening, apply a specialized ointment and wrap the hands lightly with gauze. Leave it on overnight, and you will find that the calluses on your hands have reduced significantly. Repeat this process several times to completely remove the calluses.
3. Scrubbing Cream: Apply an appropriate amount of scrubbing cream to the areas with calluses on your hands and massage gently. Then, use a pumice stone to remove dead skin from your hands. Soak your hands in warm water with olive oil for a while. Gently rub the calluses with a pumice stone until they are almost gone. Rinse your hands with water and apply moisturizing lotion.
