Care of the feet has its own characteristics. The main procedure here is exfoliation. It is produced using grinding saws, pumice, brushes and scrubs. Films and pumice can be used both for wet and dry peeling. For wet exfoliation, the feet are placed 10-15 minutes into warm water, and foam, salt or aromatic oil can be added there. With dry exfoliation, the rough parts of the feet are simply treated with an appropriate accessory, this method is suitable for clean and not too rough skin. Use a brush to wash your feet and remove the peeling particles. After any kind of exfoliation procedures, the feet are rinsed with water.
Scrubs are very convenient for exfoliating the skin between the toes. They can be used both separately and in combination with a grinding file. In the latter case, a little scrub is applied to the surface of the file. This method of exfoliation is much more effective than all the others and makes it more economical to use scrub. If you do not do pedicure in the cabin and do not use pumice, the corresponding effect from the scrub will appear only if it is applied daily.
After the exfoliation procedures, the skin needs to be saturated with moisturizers. The most common cosmetic products for this are moisturizing and softening foot creams. Strengthen the effect of the cream can be if you apply it at night and wear cotton socks.
To achieve a smooth and soft skin on the heels will help special masks. Masks for the feet, as well as any other, apply 2-3 times a week. But if after masks for the face, applying cream is not required in all cases, the emollient cream after the foot masks is mandatory. Masks also help to get rid of edema and fatigue.
Swelling and fatigue of the feet appear if you have been walking or standing much during the day. But the cause of many diseases, such as varicose veins, is not in the intensity of the loads on the legs, but in our disdainful attitude to the condition of the legs. If your legs are tired, you must always do a massage, a bath, or apply a cooling gel before going to bed. The composition of the gels includes special volatile components, which quickly return to the legs a normal state and a sense of ease. The gel is applied to the feet and to the upper part of the foot. In addition to gels, there are special balms for lifting the heaviness in the legs. But if the balms are designed to fight the unpleasant consequences of stress on the legs, gels can be used to prevent them.
In the winter season, instead of the cooling gel for the care of the feet, warming creams are used. Such creams usually not only stimulate blood circulation, but also have a warm, spicy aroma.
Special compositions for foot baths are designed to fight with feelings of heaviness, sometimes they contain soothing substances like extracts of chamomile, lavender, rosemary, which actively promote the healing of small wounds and have a calming effect on the nervous system. Such baths help to fall asleep more easily after a hard working day.
The problem of foot deodorization needs to be taken care not only in the warm season. We will be helped by such cosmetics for foot care as sprays, antiperspirant creams, ointments and talcs. Sprays are more convenient to use in the summer, because, among other things, they have a cooling effect and also help to combat the feeling of heaviness in the legs. At other times it is recommended to use antiperspirant creams. They are very economical, since you can apply the cream only in the main places of sweating - between the fingers. Talc does not interfere with natural sweating. Particles of talc soaked in sweat and thereby prevent the appearance of odor. At the same time, the intensity of sweating is reduced. Talcum-treated skin will suffer less in the case of shoes rubbing their feet.
In terms of maintaining hygiene, cosmetics for foot care are subject to special requirements. Good cosmetics should have antibacterial and antifungal agents in its composition, and also promote the healing of small wounds.
Regular care for your feet not only helps keep them neat and attractive. In combination with gymnastics, he is the prevention of diseases associated with the tone of the vascular system of the legs. The procedures of peeling and timely nail care on your feet will allow you to avoid most calluses and never learn about the problem of cracked heels or ingrown nails.
