Callus care the GEHWOL way: balance over removal

Calluses (hyperkeratosis) are the skin’s natural protective response to pressure and friction.
They are not meant to be removed completely in a single treatment.

⚠️ Why aggressive callus removal is not recommended:
• It compromises the skin barrier
• Increases the risk of fissures, inflammation, and infection
• Can trigger reactive thickening (the skin rebuilds harder and faster)
• Poses higher risk for sensitive or diabetic skin

✅ The GEHWOL approach to callus care:
✔️ Gradual, controlled reduction over time
✔️ Preservation of a thin protective layer
✔️ Support of the skin’s natural regeneration process
✔️ Consistent home care to prevent excessive re-formation

GEHWOL products are formulated to soften and normalize callus progressively, while strengthening the skin barrier with moisturizing agents and lipids — not to strip the skin of its natural defense.

✨ Healthy feet are not about “perfectly smooth” skin —
they’re about resilient, protected, and well-balanced skin.

🦶 Foot Myths

“Blisters are always caused by ill-fitting shoes.”

Sounds logical… but it’s not the whole story.

Yes, shoes that don’t fit properly can cause blisters—but they’re not the only culprit. Blisters form when friction + moisture team up on your skin. This can happen even in “good” shoes.

Common blister triggers include:
👉 Long walks, hikes, or travel days
👉 New or increased physical activity
👉 New socks or seams that rub
👉 Very dry skin, which is more fragile and prone to irritation

What’s happening?
Friction causes the top layer of skin to separate, fluid builds up underneath—and voilà, a blister forms.

💡 Pro Tip:
Healthy, well-hydrated skin is more resilient. Choosing the right socks and using a protective foot cream that supports the skin barrier can make a big difference.

The GEHWOL range includes preventative care options like GEHWOL Foot Cream, designed to help protect the skin, reduce friction, and keep feet comfortable—step after step.
