CALLUS WHISPERS

- Picture credit: Daily Skin Love

Are calluses getting in the way of you acquiring the baby soft feet you dream about?

The fact is that a callus is basically a defense mechanism, a protective build-up of the skin resulting from abnormal or recurrent pressure and friction. In short, calluses, which are common among both men and women, are simply a result of bad lifestyle practices.

At The Nail Anatomy we offer a gentle and instant solution to your callus problems. We opt for the world renowned Footlogix Solution, a non-aggressive formula which easily helps in sloughing off excessive skin debris. Our go to product is the Footlogix Callus Softener. This spray-on formula provides an effective, instant softening treatment for calluses, toenails and cuticles, dry keratinize­d skin, hyperkerat­osis and fissures. Used with the special Footlogix file, this treatment guarantees instant results. We recommend that you return for this treatment at least once a month.

Important fact #1 : Remember you should NEVER cut your calluses, so keep well away from the blades available for this purpose! If you completely shave off a callus, the skin will go into shock and build that callus back up as fast as it can.

We also suggest that you take home the Footlogix Double Defense Cream Mousse Formula. This super hydrating, yet lightweigh­t, unique mousse with Urea is both anti-aging and rejuvenati­ng. Used every night, this mousse helps in the prevention of callus recurrence.

Important fact #2: We have specific callus treatments for diabetics & pregnant women so please let us know of your condition well in advance.

Where women are concerned, calluses are usually a direct result of our love affair with shoes. Remember that better shoe habits = fewer calluses, so always make it a point to: Have both feet profession­ally measured and only wear properly fitting shoes. Measure both width and length and make sure they are correct. If you can’t wiggle your toes in your shoes, they are too tight. Avoid shoes with sharply pointed toes and high heels. Take some of the pressure off your feet by wearing well-fitted flat shoes for walking to and from destinatio­ns, or until the occasion demands that you be seen in your heels. Repair or replace worn soles of linings that give little protection from the shock of hard surfaces, and chafe your skin and harbour bacteria.

Important fact #3: We do not recommend this treatment for people with warts, verrucas or Athlete’s Foot infections.
