You’re going to want to really read through on this one.

Our feet are often overlooked but they take a lot of abuse.

The walking you do everyday subjects your feet to a lot of miles.

Wear and tear if you will.

That humble bottle of hydrogen peroxide can do wonders for your feet though.

For those stubborn and annoying calluses, grab a bucket and fill it with warm water, or even hotter if you can handle the temperature.

Soak your feet in the water then pour in around a three to one ratio of hydrogen peroxide.

You can eyeball this too, so add more or less of the stuff, depending on your preference.

Soak your feet for around fifteen minutes depending on how bad your corns and calluses are.

You may as well watch your favorite influencer or the news while you do this so you won’t get bored.

That tingling feeling you’ll get on your feet is normal.

Why is that so?

Because hydrogen peroxide can be used to relieve issues on your feet like cracked heels, corns, calluses, and dead skin build-up.

It has a softening property, which helps to soften cracked heels and pressure calluses, especially for those of you who are active physically or play sports.

It’s also a natural remedy for athlete’s foot.

Once your done, dry your feet with a clean towel.

Now grab a foot scrubber or something similar and rub off all those extra dead skin loosened by the hydrogen peroxide.

The stuff probably killed the bacteria too.

Talk about softening what needs to be softened!

Hydrogen Peroxide is a colorless, odorless, natural chemical that can soften the skin over and around corns and calluses.

That makes it easier for them to be exfoliated, filed and removed.

Here’s another tip from @lonnarheaj,

“Adding a little baking soda to the water & peroxide increasing the skin softening effect. Baking soda acts as a mild surfactant, essentially making water wetter. The sodium in the baking soda also helps kill most fungi.”

Give it a try!

And here’s a testament from another viewer who says,

“For 40 years I had athletes foot ,tried everything, been to doctors and hospitals, finally tried hydrogen peroxide. In 1 week I was cured. Not a single doctor told about this ,they just gave a prescription and told me to come back in a month. It’s all about the money. There’s no money in a cure but there is in a treatment.”

Who knew?

Hydrogen Peroxide is an oxidizing agent. It damages cells through oxidative stress.

What that does is it creates more free radicals in your body than there are antioxidants to get rid of them.

This excess of free radicals leads to inflammation in the skin.

And that causes the fragmentation of collagen and fibroblasts.

Collagen and fibroblasts hold the skin together so when these are damaged, the skin cells become soft and loose, making it easy to be sloughed off or removed.

It’s a great hack you can do at home, plus it can be therapeutic.

Just finish it off and rub some lotion on your feet and you’re all set!
