Soothing foot creams

Live skin on the feet without roughness and cracks is not only an unaesthetic appearance, but also a painful sensation. The heels and the entire foot always suffer from heavy loads. It is not only a lack of beauty, but also discomfort: the feet itch, the skin quickly becomes rough, and wounds appear. A high-quality softening foot cream can relieve this problem.

Indications foot soothing creams

All of the above are indications for the use of a softening foot cream. Without it, it is hardly possible to achieve soft, rough, callus-free skin on your feet. Unfortunately, people pay attention to this when they can no longer ignore the problem.

Today, there is no shortage of such creams to choose from: there are affordable ones on sale, as well as expensive ones from well-known world brands.

This is far from a complete list - it can be continued. But even these few creams will help to put problematic skin of the feet in order.

Release form

Here are some examples of foot softening creams to show how they work.

Cream "One Hundred Beauty Recipes"

This brand has a whole series of high-quality cosmetics. If we mean the softening foot cream "One Hundred Beauty Recipes", it is popular not only because of its democratic price. This cream has no age restrictions and is suitable for women with any skin type.

Thanks to corn oil and pumpkin pulp, the cream successfully combats dry skin of the feet, restores it, eliminates dryness and peeling. Visually, the effect is also impressive: the feet are well-groomed, the skin is smooth and soft. It is worth noting the beneficial vitaminizing and regenerating effect of this domestic cream. But these are not all its advantages: the cream does not stain clothes and shoes, is quickly absorbed, does not leave a greasy film. It is easy to use: apply a small amount of cream to a clean foot and massage a little.

Avon Foot Cream

Most women are familiar with this company, which produces only high-quality cosmetics and personal hygiene products. When creating Avon foot cream, the company did not change its principle: efficiency and affordable price. The instructions for its use provide clear and proven recommendations. They were supplemented by those who, having once tried the cream from Avon, elevated it to the rank of permanent.

So, what you need to know and do for maximum effect:

• wash your feet before applying the cream;
• apply Avon over the entire foot in a normal layer, without any excess, and rub it in as much as possible;
• Raise your legs vertically for at least 10 minutes.

The last point deserves special attention: in this position, plus the rotation of the feet, the blood is able to circulate more actively. This reduces the risk of varicose veins.

Foot cream "Belita"

Belarusian manufacturers producing the foot cream "Belita" emphasize its ability to disinfect feet in the annotation. This is a significant addition to the anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties of the cream. The effect is provided by tea tree oil and vitamins PP and A. These main components also soften the skin of the feet. "Belita" is recommended for women with any skin type. The only restriction is that the age should not be below 18 years.

The principle of use is practically no different from other foot care creams. The main thing is to apply "Belita" to clean and well-dried feet, massaging lightly. This should be done as needed.

Oriflame Foot Cream

Also a widely known brand, whose cosmetics have long won the recognition of millions of women.

Oriflame foot cream is based on two components: wheat germ and orange blossom. The first one actively nourishes dry skin. The second one also actively softens it. Practice has shown that this cream helps to keep a pedicure longer. In addition, it is very effective for a relaxing foot massage.

Foot cream "DiaDerm"

Women highly appreciated the domestic foot cream "DiaDerm". It contains a complex of moisture-retaining components: glycerin, allantoin and urea. They help soften the horny skin layer, prevent its formation and thickening. And several types of vegetable oils - sunflower, coconut and avocado - act as moisture protection, preventing it from losing its normal amount. The cream also has an antibacterial effect: the presence of sage extract, camphor and farnesol resists infection.

The cream contains a vitamin complex of vitamins A, E and F. They are responsible for the metabolic process. Calendula, mint and the already mentioned sage are added to the cream to heal wounds on the skin of the foot.

Pharmacodynamics

Creators of softening foot creams, regardless of the country of manufacture, are guided by two mandatory parameters. The first is pharmacodynamics or the presence of a mechanism of action of the cream on the skin, its effectiveness, i.e. biological effect.

Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics is the principle by which a substance entering the body is absorbed, distributed, and then excreted. In foot creams, these two parameters have antibacterial components or properties.

Dosing and administration

The scheme or method of application and dosage of the softening foot cream is not fundamentally different from the name. Having figured out the absence of allergy to this or that cream, you can proceed to its application. This procedure is done on clean feet, preferably after a herbal bath and light pumice treatment of problem areas. The next step is to thoroughly dry your feet, leaving no moisture on them. Then apply a small amount of cream and leave it for 15-20 minutes. During this time, the cream will be absorbed, protecting against slipping in shoes and a possible fall. Therefore, it is better to carry out this procedure at night. Then it is enough to put on warm socks and go to bed.

Use foot soothing creams during pregnancy

The position of a pregnant woman obliges her to be extremely careful in everything. During this difficult period, she has to deny herself many things. Even the use of a thrice-tested and proven foot cream should be approached from the point of view of maximum safety for the future child. Of all the creams known today, one is recommended for use during pregnancy: "Green Mama". In addition to softening the skin on the feet, it helps relieve their swelling, from which almost no pregnant woman is immune.

Green Mama is also effective for those prone to varicose veins. The feeling of “heavy legs” that haunts a pregnant woman is reduced to a minimum thanks to horse chestnut, sweet clover, buckwheat and propolis. The condition of the vessel walls becomes more stable, more elastic, and the blood circulates intensively. The anesthetic effect is obvious. And menthol and peppermint oil make the legs “light”.

It is enough to apply the cream "Green Mama" when you feel tired in your legs. And do it by lightly and gently massaging your legs.

Contraindications

Except for pregnant women, there are no contraindications to the use of certified softening foot creams. Exceptions may only be in the case of individual intolerance to one or more components included in the cream. And those who suffer from allergies should carefully study the annotation to each cream so as not to harm themselves.

Storage conditions

You can't ignore the storage conditions and expiration date of foot cream. Expired cream or cream that has been repeatedly exposed to scorching sun rays will not only fail to provide the effect of softening the skin of your feet, it will also deteriorate. And then you won't be able to count on its help. Moreover, an expired cream or one that has not been stored at the temperature specified by the manufacturer can cause harm.
