Only a lazy woman can have rough heels and legs — unkempt, say the French. Doctors add: the aesthetic problem is akin to a medical one. And they explain: dry feet and cracked heels can cause the development of many diseases, mainly of an infectious nature.
To avoid this and always sparkle with your heels, you must follow simple rules.
Protecting: Bacteria Spray and Aromatic Foot Soaks for Dry Feet
In the summer we wear open shoes, thereby exposing the skin of the feet to an excessive dose of ultraviolet radiation. Loss of moisture leads to cracks in the heels, where infection can get (and then develop).
• Exfoliate steamed skin with a pumice stone every night after your shower.
• Use creams that contain moisturizing and moisture-retaining ingredients (urea, glycerin, aloe extract, collagen, etc.).
• Spray your feet with a protective bacterial spray in the morning.
Heat impairs microcirculation, which leads to swelling of the legs. Baths will help to remove them. “Hold your feet in cool water, remembering to add aromatic salt to it first, and then apply the cream and massage your feet,” — advises the author of the "Minus 60" system Ekaterina Mirimanova.
We take care: choose scrubs for dry feet and do a pedicure
Home pedicure remains in the first position and also firmly holds the lead in making mistakes. The most common is the desire to cut off the corners of the nails. This should not be done, otherwise the nail plate will grow into the finger.
The classic edged pedicure remains very popular. But it should be remembered that it causes excessive growth of the cuticle and epidermis.
Hardware pedicure helps with problem feet. Various types of nozzles allow you to treat dry skin of the legs and nails to perfect condition, and at the same time say goodbye to corns, cracks and other troubles.
But what if the pedicure was done a few days ago, and the feet already look rough? Special scrubs and creams with salicylic acid will help. Use scrubs two to three times a week. They will help exfoliate the skin. But creams should be used daily. Salicylic acid will prevent excess keratin formation, which causes the skin to become rough and its top layer to thicken.
• A greater effect can be achieved if, before applying the cream, you first make a foot bath with the addition of soda (1 tbsp. L.). This procedure will also be a good prevention of cracked heels. Creams with emollient action or castor oil, which need to be treated on the heels, will help get rid of them.
Decorate: the moon is shining, or how to achieve durability of varnish on the legs
Dryness and dust — the main enemies of varnish. Under the influence of them quickly loses color and fades.
Refreshing a pedicure is easy. To do this, apply cuticle oil to the nails daily, and every two — new top coat. You can do this procedure seven times. This means that the varnish can last for a month until you want to change it or the nails grow so much that the unpainted strip at the cuticle becomes visible.
