Apply it giving a circular massage with the fingertips on the entire surface of the foot, up to the ankle. Remove with plenty of water and dry the feet.
2. Eliminate calluses and calluses

If the callus resists, use the callus cutter or the callus remover with the Pur Pedicur deposit, depending on your needs.
