Removing Calluses From Hands - Manicure Kit Or Nail Salon?

[JessicaCorbyn]

I play a lot of sports and have some calluses on my palms, at the bases of my fingers. They're ugly and they hurt when I was picking weights up for a time. I'm going to get some protective gloves but I've heard they don't go away on their own.

How do I get rid of them quickly? They're smooth on the outside and not so big that I can pull them off easily. Can they remove them at the nail salon? Or could I try an at-home manicure kit or one of those acid solutions?

Thanks ladies

I'm not really sure, but I got calluses from doing crew in college and they went away on their own at some point. I think they tend to peel off eventually once you're no longer doing whatever it is that caused them. Moisturizing might help though. With my feet, I sometimes load on a ton of moisturizer and put on thick socks overnight while I'm sleeping, so maybe you could try that except with mittens?

Thank you How long did it take for them to go away, and what kind of moisturiser do you use? Just a normal foot cream?

Well my foot calluses never completely go away, no matter what I do. The ones on my palms from crew just sort of went away on their own after I stopped rowing. I use normal hand moisturizer on my hands, nothing special.
