How to Remove Calluses on Feet
This article will share some natural tips on how to remove calluses from feet. So many of us suffer from these hard little patches of built-up skin! Don´t worry, it’s perfectly normal, when a body part continually rubs against something the tender skin forms a protective barrier of hard skin to protect the area it feels is in danger of an injury, this hard skin is called a callus and they are most common on the hands and feet.
It takes time to get rid of them, but it can be done. There are some good natural and inexpensive homemade solutions to remove calluses on feet or other areas of your body:
Sugar Scrub:
Put ¾ cup of granulated sugar in a dry jar, add enough mineral oil to form a loose paste, you can add peppermint, spearmint, sandalwood, musk, or any essential oil you choose (optional). Mix together, then scrub and gently massage, you can use this anywhere you want to have smooth, soft skin. Do this before shaving your legs, it feels incredible!
Pineapple Peel and Oils:
Cut strips of pineapple peel and cover the callus completely, then tape the pineapple peel in place and leave it on for a couple hours and repeat daily for one week, changing when necessary. The enzymes and acid content of the fresh pineapple will remove calluses.
Another option is to apply wheat germ oil, castor oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or olive oil on the callused area several times a day.

Who is going to seriously tape a pineapple rind to their foot for a week? Seriously, this has to be a troll.
I'd like to try the pineapple idea just to see the look on my husband's face when he saw me with my feet propped up with pineapple peel tied to them LOL.
You can even rub freshly sliced pineapple chunks to your face for the best enzyme peel in the world! non-irritating, non-drying, it's an amazing way to do a "mini-peel" and get smooth soft skin!
Leave the pineapple taped to your feet for a week? Maybe I'm reading this wrong…but I certainly cannot go to work with pineapple peel taped to my feet. Perhaps you could try taping it on overnight for a week.
It says tape it on for a few hours and repeat for a week, as in do it daily. Perhaps after work?
