Skin care needs are different for everyone, but some of the most common conditions affecting our body’s largest organ are blisters and calluses. Blisters are small bubbles that form on the skin, often filled with a clear liquid called serum, though they may be filled with blood or pus, particularly if they become infected. Blisters form when the skin is repeatedly rubbed or irritated, leading to a fluid buildup between the separated epidermis and the lower dermal layers. Digging a hole with a shovel may lead to blisters forming on your palms, while wearing poorly fitting shoes may cause them to develop on your feet. 

Calluses are hardened areas where excess skin has built up, typically on the bottom of the feet or palms of the hand. They usually form due to uneven weight distribution on your feet, often due to poorly fitting shoes, but calluses may also develop on the hands following repeated use of a tool or instrument. Blisters and calluses are both protective responses by the body, but they can cause discomfort, impact your mobility, and lead to infections if not taken seriously. 

Hyaluronic Acid for Injured and Irritated Skin

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring chemical compound widely known as a lubricant and moisturizer, but it is also a critical component of the skin during the healing process. While hyaluronic acid is already present in the skin, applying skin care products that contain more of this nourishing compound is a proactive step for healing. When blisters break or split, exposing the irritated tissue beneath, the risk of infection is high. Research has shown hyaluronic acid to have mild antibacterial effects, in addition to creating a moisture-sealing barrier on wounds. The dry and hardened skin of a callus is also responsive to hyaluronic acid, as it can soothe irritation, moisturize dry skin, and smooth rough patches of dermal tissue.

Rosehip Oil for Healing

A broad-spectrum aid to any skin health regimen, rosehip oil is rich in vitamin A, E and C, as well as omega fatty acids and detoxifying antioxidants. Popularly used as a carrier oil in skin care products, rosehip oil delivers plenty of its own benefits, from evening skin tone and eliminating redness to reducing the appearance of scars and blemishes. Blisters and calluses are both receptive to the healing effects of rosehip oil, as it helps to soften calluses with replenished and retained moisture, while boosting the immune defenses around infection-prone blisters. As a carrier oil, rosehip oil is most effective when joined with other powerful skin care ingredients. 

NeuLuna Day and Night Cream for Blisters and Calluses

From craftsmen and athletes to dog walkers and blue-collar workers, blisters and calluses can affect anyone, and become an irritating source of discomfort and inconvenience. For those seeking relief and rapid healing, the patented absorption system of NeuLuna Day and Night Cream leverages the impressive capacity of hyaluronic acid and rosehip oil for better skin health and appearance. 

The cream’s hyaluronic delivery system penetrates multiple dermal layers for comprehensive healing and hydration of persistent calluses. This nourishing cream is best applied after softening the callus in water and using a pumice stone to gently remove the top layers of dead skin. For blisters, the cream can be directly applied on and around the site, where the rosehip carrier oil will help seal the wound and accelerate the healing process.
