Our feet have the most calloused skin of all skin areas of our body. But it doesn’t mean that they are not vulnerable to negative influence and that they don’t need care. If the feet don’t get moisturized and nourished, their skin becomes dry. There won’t appear wrinkles, of course, but there is a high risk of cracks and clavuses, which not only look unattractive, but may also cause pain. That’s why it is very important to pay attention to your feet, at least you may use a total care foot cream regularly.
What tasks should a foot cream perform
A good foot cream should serve a large number of purposes, unlike the other creams for face, body and hands care:
- antibacterial and antiperspirant action — the feet are much more vulnerable to exposure of pathogenic organisms and to the risk of various fungal and infectious diseases. Experts made a research and found out that even in clean shoes there are more germs than on a dishwashing sponge. This is a reason of a bad odor. A germicidal action of a foot cream kills pathogenic organisms, thus preventing unpleasant odor;
- anti-inflammatory action — uncomfortable and low-quality shoes may cause raw sores, clavuses, irritation. A good foot cream has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect;
- stimulation of blood circulation — is one of the main functions of a foot cream. Its components improve and increase skin metabolism, activate blood circulation, saturate with oxygen, which contributes to skin regeneration;
- softening action — any foot cream should soften calloused skin to prevent cracks and clavuses;
- relief of fatigue — active ingredients of a foot cream cause soothing and cooling effect.
