6) Soften and Remove Calluses

By helping loosen thick, dead skin, an aspirin-lemon combo can make callus care easier—but keep it brief and targeted.

How to try it

  • Crush 6–7 aspirin and mix with 1 teaspoon lemon juice plus ½ teaspoon water to a paste.
  • Apply to callused soles only; avoid normal skin.
  • Cover with a warm, damp towel and wrap lightly in plastic for 10 minutes.
  • Remove wrap and gently buff with a pumice stone; moisturize afterward.

Good to know

  • Do not use if you have diabetes, neuropathy, poor circulation, ulcers, or breaks in skin—see a podiatrist for safe care.
  • Repeat no more than once weekly.

Aspirin can mimic a very light BHA-style exfoliation, but faces are sensitive—less is more.

How to try it

  • Crush 3–5 aspirin and mix with 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (or honey) to buffer.
  • Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding eyes and lips.
  • Leave 5–10 minutes (not 20 for first tries), then rinse with lukewarm water and moisturize.
  • Use once weekly at most.

Good to know

  • Skip if you’re already using exfoliating acids/retinoids, or if your skin is reactive.
  • Stop if you experience burning or persistent redness.
