THE FIRST rule of callus removal is that you shouldn’t actually remove calluses. These hard little nubs on your feet may look unsightly but they serve a very specific purpose. Think of a wobbly restaurant table, says medical pedicurist Marcela Correa, founder of Medi Pedi NYC in New York City. When a table wobbles, you slide a coaster or folded up piece of paper underneath to balance it out. “Calluses serve the same function for your body,” she says, in that they correct imbalances in your feet and gait.
That said, no one wants feet covered in hard, crusty skin—especially with sandal season rapidly approaching. So the question is: how do you actually treat a callus to make it look better but also not wreck your feet in the process? This is what to do and what to use.
