The most suitable homemade way to remove corns is by exfoliating, which can be done initially with pumez stone and then with an exfoliating cream at the site of the corns. A moisturizer should then be applied to the skin to keep the skin soft and silky, which also helps prevent the formation of new calluses.
The horns are the result of a low oxygenation of the tissues due to the pressure of the working instruments or even the musical instruments, where certain regions of the hands constantly stimulated create a kind of “protective layer” that makes the skin thicker.

One of the easiest ways to remove corns is to place your hand with the callus in a container of warm water with a few drops of essential oil. It is recommended to leave your hand in water for about 10 minutes to soften the skin and facilitate the removal of calluses.
Pumez stone is also an excellent way to remove excess keratin that results in corns in certain areas of the hands. Then, after leaving your hand in the water, you should rub the lime with pumez stone in the lime area for a few minutes.
Then, an exfoliating cream based on sweet almond oil and cornmeal should be applied, removing the outermost layer of the skin, leaving the hand soft and hydrated. However, this exfoliation, being more intense, should only be done on changed days until the lime disappears completely.
To make this scrub, mix 30 ml of sweet almond oil and 1 teaspoon of cornmeal or sugar. Then rub it on your hands, especially in the baldness area, to promote the removal of thicker skin.

The final step in the process of removing calluses is to apply a moisturizer to keep the skin soft and silky, being more suitable to use a hand cream because it is more effective. In addition, remedies with exfoliating properties that help remove horns may also be used.
To prevent a new lime from forming in the same place, it is important to protect your hands by avoiding the rubbing caused by lime at the beginning, and to do so, workers must wear thick rubber or cloth gloves, for example.
