What should daily foot care look like?
Groomed, smooth, soft, perfectly moisturized and, above all, healthy feet are something that we can achieve by regularly and conscientiously performing several stages of home foot care. Of course, a professional pedicure by a cosmetologist or podiatrist is advisable and gives irreplaceable results, but home care may make such services only an additional addition.
What are the most important steps in daily foot care?
- Cleansing and smoothing: apply a foot scrub 1-2 times a week to get rid of calloused epidermis and prepare the skin to absorb other nutrients.
- Softening: Foot soak salts or skin softening gels will provide long-lasting, surprising results.
- Moisturizing: Moisturizing and oiling foot creams used every day, as well as rich moisturizing masks or socks used e.g. once a week are ideal products to complete Your foot care.
7 ingredients worth paying attention to in foot care cosmetics
- Urea
An ingredient with many applications, especially when it comes to very demanding, sensitive foot skin. Urea in appropriate concentrations can provide it with a number of benefits, such as: moisturizing, regeneration, softening, disinfection. In addition, it causes other substances to penetrate better into the skin and, as a result, act on it more effectively.
- Lanolin
This substance plays a key role in epidermal barrier. It protects the sensitive skin of the feet against harmful external factors, prevents excessive build-up of epidermis, perfectly softens, tightens and gives elasticity. Thanks to lanolin, a subtle, smoothing film is created on our skin.
- Neem oil
The neem extract from which neem oil is made contains antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins (including C and E). The many properties of this substance include: anti-itching, soothing, antibacterial and antifungal properties.
- AHA acids
To the group of AHA acids, i.e. the so-called fruit acids, we include: glycolic, mandelic, lactic, malic, tartaric and citric acids. These substances are perfect for restoring the skin's softness, increasing its hydration level and reducing the layer of keratinized epidermis. Moreover, they perfectly refresh the skin of the feet.
- Glycerine
Glycerin is known primarily for its moisturizing function. It binds water in the epidermis, protecting it from drying out. Moreover, it soothes, elasticizes and facilitates the penetration of other ingredients into the skin.
- Menthol
A strongly cooling and refreshing ingredient. It allows our feet to feel immediate relief. It relieves the feeling of heaviness, minimizes cracks and reduces swelling. In addition, it gives the skin a pleasant scent.
- Peach oil
A light plant oil with a wide range of applications. Thanks to the content of vitamins A and E and essential unsaturated fatty acids, it makes the skin moisturized, nourished and improves its color. Moreover, it gives anti-aging effects and tones.
