calluses - read all

Post by johntherevelator »

i dont want to sound like a woman here, but
is there any kind of hand revitalizer shit that will get rid of flaking skin but not get rid of calluses?

see i have hard calluses on all my fingers from playin, but my fingers (i dunno what to call it. its not flaking or peeling or anything gross) are always taken back to being like it was my first day playing. my calluses come back soon enough, but its frustrating to have the pain come back every once in awhile.

no one probably understands what im talking about here

its not right gross or anything, i dont know how to describe it

anyway, hand stuff? anyone know?

actually I use carmex or something like it on occasion. Put a little on your fingertips. it helps my calluses stay without flaking off. It sounds a little weird but it works for me

hemp oil works like a charm also

its a more expensive than carmex but will clean up that dirty old skin easily and effectively

you can't "produce" it from hemp products. :( you buy it. you have to go into some kind of bath shop but it lubes up the tips and cleans em up real good.
