How do you get layers of dead skin off your feet?

At a routine chiropody appointment a chiropodist can remove callus with a scalpel, this is usually a painless experience.

It is also possible for certain products to be used to break down the excess hard skin. In many cases callus can be prevented. Using a good emollient on the foot will help keep your skin supple. Wearing cushioned footwear can also help.
