All about feet > Problem > Callused feet

 

Areas of skin that are thick, dried out and hard.
Feet are subject to friction on a daily basis which harms the upper layers of the skin. As a result, cell renewal speeds up. The skin thickens, dries out and hardens. Locally, on the heels and soles of the feet, unsightly, painful calluses appear.

Did you know...

Did you know… that high-heeled shoes can cause foot damage?
High-heeled shoes shift the weight of the body forward, leading to increased pressure on the feet and a greater likelihood that calluses will develop. Nonetheless, approximately 72% of women wear high heels, 39% of them every day.

Did you know… that your foot size changes with age?
Feet grow, even as an adult, so always measure your feet before buying new shoes. It is best to shop for shoes in the afternoon, when your feet may be swollen and at their biggest size, and allow half a finger space between the longest toe and the shoe to prevent excessive rubbing.

Solution

To reduce calluses, dead skin must be removed and friction or rubbing reduced. Try PODEXINE Callus Corrector by Vichy. The product's formula includes two complementary fast-acting ingredients. Salicylic acid, to visibly reduce skin's thickness. Anti-rubbing spheres, to limit friction on the feet from footwear, and hence slow down the forming of new calluses. Its emolliating agents hydrate and soften the skin. Skin on the feet is flexible and less irritating. Calluses begin disappearing in just 1 week. Clinical measurements, within 4 weeks of use: 16% decrease in thickness; 21% decrease in hardness; 11% decrease in size of calluses.
