What Best Creams for Feet and Heels Are Made From?

Feel and hells skincare should have as much attention as face and hands skincare. Neglecting the hygienic and cosmetic procedures can cause unpleasant feet skin appearance and develop some issues like fungus, infection, cracks and calluses.

What should a feet skincare routine consist of?

You don’t need any special efforts to keep feet well-groomed and attractive. Just remember of the feet skincare and do it regularly. There are just some things to do:

• Wash feet twice a day, in the morning and in the evening using a special antiseptic soap to prevent bacteria contamination, fungus and infections. Don’t use too hot water to keep the natural lipid barrier and prevent skin from over drying.
• Use feet cream in the mornings and in the evenings. A complex cosmetic product can be appropriate in common cases but if you have some issues with sweating, heel cracking etc. a special medication may be needed. Rub the cream into the entire feet including toes and the skin between them. To boost the result, keep the socks on during the night sleep.
• Peel feet skin weekly because feet skin needs peeling more than other skin areas. Feet and heels have a thick epidermis that becomes rough because of being under constant pressure that is why regular peeling allows to reduce dead cells and makes skin soft and delicate. Use usual pumice stone after having steamed the feet skin during 10 minutes. Use also special cosmetical scrubs.
• Massage feet every day before sleep at least during 15 minutes. The massage boosts blood circulation and prevents swelling. Use special essential oils or special feet cream
