Three components of summer care
The main thing that makes the legs a matter of pride is silkiness and smoothness of the skin. In the summer, it is very important to maintain proper foot care. It takes place in three stages:
- Cleansing;
- Toning
- Humidification and nutrition.
Cleansing. The first thing to be said about is washing. It is necessary to wash your feet in the summer not only in the evening before going to sleep, but also in the morning, if possible, rinse them in the daytime and immediately after coming home from work. Washing your feet is best done in water at room temperature, this will prevent vasodilation, loss of skin moisture and as a consequence of its drying out.
In addition to the shower gel, which is traditionally used by almost everyone, it is best to use bactericidal soap in the summer.
Two or three times a week, very good effect on the condition of the skin of the legs is its deep cleaning. For this purpose, special foot scrubs are best. They better cleanse the skin on our legs, because here it is coarser than on the face or other parts of the body, and foot scrubs are designed for this. It is advisable to use a brush in the process.
Toning. You can tonify your feet using special cosmetic products, as well as with conventional contrasting douche. You can create an improvised mountain stream at home and pass 40 steps each morning. Make it simple. Pour cold water into the tub so that it is ankle-deep. After that, make it as cold as possible adding ice. Go exactly 40 steps in the bath slowly.
Another great tonic is walking barefoot in the summer on the morning dew. However, there is one warning. It needs to be done outside the city, and otherwise endorogens and harmful substances in the city dew will play the opposite role, bringing not benefit but harm.
Humidification and nutrition. This procedure is extremely important. Since in the summer our legs, without protection from air, heat and dust, very quickly lose moisture. It is extremely important to use additional moisturizers and nutrients. Excellent creams with the use of various oils of almond, olive, sesame. It is good, if the cream will have antibacterial components. For example, extracts of chamomile, calendula, lavender, myrrh, sage.
Our legs are big toilers, do not be lazy to pamper them and then they will answer you with a radiant appearance and attractiveness.
