Home Remedies for Dry Callused Feet
Make Them Soft and Smooth
There are literally dozens of commercial lotions, gadgets, and products for softening, improving, and repairing dry callused skin. These products can be very expensive, and they don't always work as promised.
Try the following home remedies for softening dry callused feet instead of buying expensive products that might not work. Home remedies are safe to use, they're inexpensive, and they contain readily available ingredients. Begin taking the necessary steps to soften your dry callused feet, and try the following home remedies. You have nothing to lose by painfully cracked dry skin and calluses.
Vinegar Soak
Soak your dry callused feet once a week in a large dishpan or similar container filled with warm water, a drop of dishwashing liquid, and approximately one cup of white vinegar. Soak them for about a half hour.
After soaking, rinse your feet, and thoroughly pat them dry. Apply your favorite lotion especially formulated for very dry skin, and put on a pair of clean cotton socks. This is one of the best doctor recommended home remedies for dry callused feet.
Baking Soda Soak
For those who don't care for the smell of vinegar, try soaking your dry callused feet in a soothing solution of baking soda and warm water. Add about ½ cup of baking soda for every gallon of warm water, and stir the solution until the baking soda dissolves. Soak them for about a half hour.
After soaking, rinse away the baking soda, and pat your feet dry. Generously apply dry-skin lotion of your choice, and cover them with a pair of clean cotton socks. Home remedies such as this will leave your feet feeling remarkably clean and very soft.
Salicylic Acid Solution
Hair products containing salicylic acid are intended for managing dandruff and other dry scalp conditions, and home remedies using salicylic acid will effectively remove dead skin cells and calluses.
If you have extremely dry callused feet, purchase a hair care product containing salicylic acid. Apply the product to dry callused feet with a small brush. Read product label instructions for precautions and warnings, and leave the solution on according to the length of time recommended for the scalp.
Wash your feet as usual to remove the salicylic acid, dry them thoroughly, and generously apply foot cream of your choice. Cover your feet with clean cotton socks to hold in valuable moisture. They should feel much softer as a result.
Socks and Lotion
This is by far one of the most effective and easiest home remedies for dry callused feet. You can let your favorite lotion work to end dryness and slacken dead skin all night long. Before going to bed, generously apply lotion to your feet, and protect sheets and blankets by slipping on a pair of breathable clean cotton socks. You'll awaken to softer feet, and after several nights, your once dry callused feet will be much softer and exceptionally smooth.

Ugly Ducks a Dry Feet Treatment that Changes Lives
Horse With White Face, Inc. launches a new product that will improve the lives of many. Registered nurse, designer and owner, Christine Antle, says years of nursing convinced her of the need for an easy, effective treatment for dry feet.
Ugly Ducks are a disposable, moisturizing slipper made of a soft comfortable foam. What makes them special is what's inside; the finest olive oil, 100% natural bees wax, vitamin A C and E, aloe and an array of essential oils. Ugly Ducks may not be pretty but they will make your feet beautiful. Just slip them on and they go to work healing dry cracked feet. ,
Many people have problems with dry, cracked feet. Especially affected are people with a disability who may have difficulty reaching their feet, or a disease such as diabetes. It is very important for a diabetic to maintain healthy, crack-free feet. It is for these people that Ugly Ducks were first designed.
But these special slippers
I found that having my mother massage my feet was very benficial and a learning experience from both of us.
Try Zim's Crack Cream. It doesn't smell to great, but I think that it works very well. You should be able to get it at any pharmacy over the counter, and I think Walmart might have it too.
I use Bag Balm - its for cow utters but it works great on the worst callous and has antibodies.
I've seen it at Wal-Mart but any Drug store should have it. Its a pretty can too.
