The Active Girl's Guide to Beauty

WORKOUT WOE
Calluses
Toughened areas of skin on your feet and hands are usually produced by repeated rubbing.

Treat It
Though calluses are nature's way of protecting your skin, most of us would still prefer to be baby-smooth. To achieve this without sacrifi cing your skin's health, Davis advises soaking your feet in warm water for 15 minutes before bed, then using a pumice stone—we like the Tweezerman Pedro Callus Stone ($20; tweezerman.com)—to exfoliate. Next, apply a thick cream, like Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Foot Cream ($5; at drugstores). Finally, slip on cotton socks to help the ingredients penetrate better.

Prevent It
Apply a thin layer of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly ($3; at drugstores) before putting on your workout socks. "By creating more slip, you'll reduce the friction that's causing the callus," explains Colbert. And if you lift weights, fi sh, or golf, slip on gloves to steer clear of callused hands.
